MenuChapel of St Peter on the Wall, Essex
The Chapel of St Peter on the Wall is a 7th-century chapel, among the oldest intact churches in England, located at Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex. It was an Anglo-Celtic church for the East Saxons, set astride the ruins of the abandoned Roman fort of Othona. The chapel is believed to have been built by Bishop Cedd around 654–662, incorporating the Roman bricks and stones. In 1442, the local clergy reported to the Bishop of London that it had been expanded slightly, with a small tower above the porch. It saw regular use alongside the parish church in Bradwell-on-Sea until at least the Tudor period, after which it fell into disuse and became a barn. In 1920, it was restored and reconsecrated as a chapel. It is within the council area of Maldon (Essex).
