One of our favorite things to do when we travel to the UK is attend a service. This is definitely a Chapel to experience. Thanks for sharing we always love your content.

when we visited from Louisiana last October we came here. Loved it! I only wish I had change on me to buy the book inside! the music was great. I would have stayed behind as well!

Thanks Eddie ill send you over a copy if I can get one, there's so little known about the Fort & Chapel, it's one of those buildings the more you look at it the more you'll see. St Cedd himself it's a time of the Dark Ages where ancient Britain was divided by waring King's & Kingdoms of Norse Pagan beliefs, St Cedd & his three brothers were incredibly brave men, glad you enjoyed the music Eddie, is it warm in Louisiana now?

@@paulbutterworthbillericay i love how you can see the Roman stones in the walls! And the back you can see the foundation where the original curved wall was. It get a high of around 30 Celsius right now but isn’t too hot and has a nice wind. At night feels amazing. I thought of taking a book and mailing a donation but didn’t know how that would work haha.

@eddieharr The Archaeologist said its likely the Roman arches were built by the Saxons & the Norman's added the semi circular Apse, then centuries later a medieval priest being responsible for this out of the way Chapel, repairing the Apse roof was easier to knock it down & use the rubble to fill in around the arches, 30 sounds real nice around 10 here but fairly mild for this time of year, I'll get a book next time I'm down

I've rung here twice once for a young ringers practice and again for a wedding a couple of years ago, there not the most easiest to ring but boy that ringing chamber really is a timecapsule!. from memory the 2nd is the oldest bell and the rest are mostly 18th century (although the treble was given as a war memorial in 1919), it's also good to see the bells I've always wondered what they looked like!.

I always remember going in there when I was about 12 or 13 years old (early 1970's.) It always seemed a bit scary going round there, as it was very quiet and the floors creaked! The then curator never seemed to like children being in there on their own, as he would often spring out of a door and glare at us! I was always fascinated by the stuffed 2 headed cat that on display too! 😮 Glad to see that it has reopened again - next time I am in Billericay I will have to try to visit and see what it is like now! 😊

speaking as a bellringer I can answer some of the question about the peal board, 3 hours 15 minutes would be the average for these bells which weighing in at 22cwt are one of the heaviest eight in essex, normally it would be near the 2 hour mark but this dependent both on the bells and the speed of the ringing. the reason why there are two men on the tenor is not because they switched over, in those days many heavy bells where awkward to ring and as this one had something of a reputation someone would ring would ring "both strokes" whilst another would "strap" as a way of ensuring that the bell didn't drop whilst ringing!, I've never rung here myself but I certainly hope to in the not too distant future!.
