Churches and Chapels Church records of Births Marriages and Deaths (BMD) are an important record for people looking up their family history. If your ancestors ceremony took place in a Parish Church of the Church of England records are comparatively easy to reach. The vast increase in non conformist religions from the middle 1700's to the early 1900's meant that many people chose to use non conformist Chapels for their ceremonies. This would cause no problem after 1837 when BMD were recorded by the state but before this date the only record would be in the non conformist church records. A page on this web site lists Parish Church records  which contains details of the dates that each parish holds BMD records This page lists both churches and Chapels in the villages to help provide the next place to look in case your ancestor is not listed in the Parish Records Information has been gathered from a variety of sources to compile this list. Although care has been taken to be as accurate as possible, it is possible that some chapels may have been missed or incorrect dates supplied.     Village Church Opened  Approx date closed Althorne C of E Parish Church       Particular Baptist 1834 1930   Primitive Methodist 1856 Date Unknown Asheldham C of E Parish Church     Bradwell on Sea C of E Parish Church       Primitive Methodist 1863 1964 Burnham on Crouch C of E Parish Church       Congregational Chapel 1862 1946   General and Particular Baptist 1715 Still Open   Jehovah's Witnesses   1976 Still Open   Presbyterian 1862     Primitive Methodist 1902 1925   Roman Catholic 1910 Still Open   Salvation Army   1980   Strict Baptist 1751 1930   Strict and Particular Baptist 1751 1930   United Reform Church 1950 Still Open   Wesleyan Methodist 1842 Date Unknown Cold Norton C of E Parish Church     Creeksea C of E Parish Church     Dengie C of E Parish Church     Hazeleigh C of E Parish Church     Latchingdon C of E Parish Church       Congregational 1908 Date Unknown Mayland C of E Parish Church     Mundon C of E Parish Church     North Fambridge C of E Parish Church     Purleigh C of E Parish Church       Congregational 1821 Date Unknown   Primitive Methodist 1929 Date Unknown St Lawrence C of E Parish Church     Southminster C of E Parish Church       Independant 1830 Date Unknown   Particular Baptist 1861 Date Unknown   United Reform Church 1953 Still Open Steeple C of E Parish Church       Congregational 1857 Still Open   Peculiar People 1877 Date Unknown   Quakers Burial Ground Date Unknown Date Unknown Stow Maries C of E Parish Church     Tillingham C of E Parish Church       Congregational 1867 Still Open     Original Peculiar People 1897 1913   Particular Baptist 1830 1890   Primitive Methodist 1811 1932   Peculiar People 1867 Still Open Woodham Mortimer C of E Parish Church     Woodham Walter C of E Parish Church       Congregational 1881 Date Unknown   C of E Parish Church       Primitive Methodist 1857 Date Unknown
