The Chadwell St Mary Parish Church in Essex Shopping Directory

Chadwell lies on one of the finest gravel beds in the country and is also at the end of the chalk outcrop, thereby overlooking the marshes down to the River Thames and out to the Downs of Kent. Artefacts found some of which are in the local museum in Grays show that the area was inhabited in the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. It is known that there was a sizeable nonmilitary Roman settlement to the south of the road between Chadwell and West Tilbury. A Roman oven was found in this location in 1922 containing three complete pots, fragments of others and a small clay lamp, all of which were given to Colchester Museum.
