Absolutely amazing to see such a chapel still open for exploration. Such a great asset to leave all locked up as many historic places here are which keeps people away and not adding to local economies. Love it! Bruce and otis
Thank you Bruce and Otis, for the lovely comment 😊 it’s certainly a very beautiful chapel, and remains open day and night, which is very cool 😊😉 sending our best and catch up soon
It’s a lovely old Church Stephen and Yhana. Interesting history behind it and learning that it had been abandoned and then reopened as a church again in 1920. Really neat to see the shells and old metal nails in the stone walls. It’s in nice shape which is good to see. It’s in a lovely location too. Thanks for the awesome tour. 👍😊🇨🇦
Thank you Christine, this chapel is certainly a hidden and often over looked gem here in Essex, possibly due to how far away it is from the nearest big town. It’s very isolated. I have visited many times in the past and it never fails to amaze me. Sending my best and catch up soon 😉😊
It is amazing to think this little chapel dates back to 654, using some of the Roman bricks and stones found in the area. I also enjoyed seeing the Roman fort remains too, and learning about the history of both. 😊💖
Thank you girls, for the lovely comment 😊❤️ it’s much appreciated, the site was very lovely and one I know very well, as my mum grew up on the Dengie not too far from St Peter on-the-wall 😊 sending my best and catch up soon
We enjoyed your visit to this small unpretentious chapel, Stephen and Yhana. It's so humble but beautiful and built 654 AD! Love the history you relay and it's story about how it was built. We also enjoyed your walk outside and discovery of a few old sections of the Roman fort that was there before. Thanks so much for bringing us along!
Good afternoon Stephen and Yhana, if ever there was a physical representation of good things coming in small packages, it's this wondeful, tiny and history packed chapel! Thanks so much for another fab video, what a cracking video! Have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🧭 😀
Hi Ceri and Kat, thank you for the lovely comment, this little chapel is certainly a hidden and often overlooked gem in Essex. It’s an incredible site. Sending our best and catch up soon
Another location that is new to me. The chapel is definitely worth seeing if not for any physical features but for its story and its position. Thanks for showing me something fresh.
Thank you Alice, I love this chapel, I have visited the site many times as my Mum grew up on the Dengie and my grandparents lived and are now buried in nearby Maylandsea. In my younger years I even did a few ghost hunting trips late at night here also, as the chapel is open 24/7. Somewhere buried on discs I have photos of orbs and strange lights taken from with the chapel. My Step mum also used to work at Bradwell power station and I spent the odd day trip on the shingle covered beach here at Bradwell. It’s a lovely location, I will go back again one day. Catch up soon 😊
Hi Stephen & Yhana. What a remarkable little chapel. Looks pretty remote too. Cool seeing the earthworks of the fort as well. Great job mate. Best wishes from Gloucester. 🙏🏻🚶♀️🚶🏻♂️. Watto &Kim.
Greeting to you both! There are no words to describe how lovely this church is!! Enjoyed the history of this one very very much! Thank you for another wonderful tour! Especially this one in Essex, England! Blessings to you both!
What a lovely Chapel. Wonderful to hear it is still sometimes used. The stone work is amazing and that the stones came from the fort. Thank you for taking us along on your exploration.
Awesome exploration... Such a beautiful picturesque structure, a well built and design. Really love watching your videos, a lot of story to hear from the past!
Hello Stephen and Yhana! This little church was very interesting. I am impressed that you were able to find Roman brick remains near the trees. Very cool.
Thank you Donna, I was surprised to find them too, there are a few big badger holes close by, so maybe they were shifted out of the dirt by them. I’m pleased I got to see some of the buried Roman remains 😊 as for the church, it’s very beautiful 😊 I love this area
Amazing, thank you for making this trip to this very lovely historical site to give us a tour around this beautiful Chapel of St Peter-on-the-wall, good effort creating this video, I read you text about this trip, really appreciate your wonderful work. full 17:42👍
Amazing old church and Roman fort site. I have been to Saint Declan’s in Ardmore Ireland and the sign of the cross is permanently engraved at the alter from over a thousand of pilgrims making the sign of the cross. Thanks Stephen and Yhana 👋👍
Thank you guys for the lovely comment, The site you visited in Ireland sounds incredible. I have never been to Ireland although it’s not to far. I would love to go though 😊 catch up soon and sending our best
Great tour of the Church. That is a really old building. Awesome to see the stone construction. Interesting history. Well done on your narration. It is pretty neat to see the shells and feathers tucked away in the crevices of the walls. Looks like you had the place to yourself. No crowds. Awesome. Cool to see the ruins and bricks in the forest. Awesome exploration. Take care and have a great day.
Amazing Anglo-Celtic church Stephen, Loved the stone work of this simple but beautiful church. A pity the Roman Fort no longer stands, only a few foundations. Thank you for the history and taking us along this interesting place. Regards to Yhana. It must be cold as you are sniffling Stephen 🤣 Have a great week. 🤗👍🏽🙏🏽
Hello Stephen and Yhana your adventures are always very interesting and well done. It is so wonderful to see a church that is that old and still standing for others to see. Seeing old Roman bricks on your walk was fascinating to me. Thank you much for taking us along and sharing the history of one of the oldest churches in England 💯👍😊
Thank you Cheryl, for the lovely comment 😊😉 this site is very beautiful 😊 it’s a shame we didn’t get down on the beach, as there are fossils along this coast. But it was too cold and windy. When the weather gets better, we will go back for sure 😊 sending our best and catch up soon
Hi Stephen and Yhana. Another interesting and instructive video full of history. Chapel of St. Petra is really beautiful no matter how she looks. Sometimes it is not the exterior that matters, but what is inside. Nice video as always. Have a great Sunday. Cheers. Sretana and Zac. 🖐😃🤗👍
Hi guys, thank you very kindly for the lovely comment 😊 this church is certainly very beautiful 😊 one of my favourite churches in Essex. Sending our best and catch up soon
This is possibly my favourite location in the whole of England. Although it doesn't lie in the area that I cover on my own channel, I have visited it many times - I even wrote a novel set during WWII in this area (unpublished). The landscape here is hauntingly bleak, but comforting at the same time, and, the beach of shells 🐚, is unlike anything I have ever seen anywhere else. Thank you for taking me back. Take care Stephen, cheers, Paul 👍🙂
Thank you paul, I know those beaches very well myself 😊 I spent a lot of time here as a child, and your right it’s very bleak, but lovely all the same. My grandparents lived in Maylandsea, buried there too so the Dengie feels like a second home to me. An incredible location to base a WW2 novel, especially with the Bradwell airfield. You should publish it 😊 I would love to read it myself 😊 sending our best and catch up soon
lovely place 1400 year old chapel , the interior looks like my first grade class room! glad the ghosts did not show up and called the winds instead ... cool feathers and roman brick spotted!
Lol, it does look a little like an old fashioned classroom inside lol 😆 I think it was purposely created that way, as a simple means of worship, sending my best buddy and catch up soon
Something doesn't have to be big in size to be HUGE in importance. Another well researched, informative and interesting video. You have a great way with story telling. I enjoyed the historical information as well as just the building itself. Thanks for this well edited and presented video. 👍 🤩 🇳🇿 🙋♀️ 🇳🇱
Thank you so much Anita, for a very lovely comment, I love this little chapel it’s very beautiful. It’s very isolated too and very quite in this area. Sending you my best and catch up soon 😉❤️😊
Hi Stephen & Yhana . Such a modest building, you'd scarcely know it was a church! I guess they just got steadily grander and more ornate over the generations! Very interesting looking around the old Roman fort remains too! All the best and take care 👍😊
Thank you Des, it’s certainly a very modern building but a very interesting one too 😊 the whole area is lovely and a great location for walks too 😊 sending my best and catch up soon

😱This place looks amazing, what a stunning chapel and the history, love it. Nice find on the roman bricks, did you keep any? Brilliant video :-) Cara xx
I did keep one of them lol 😆 I’m using it as a plinth / stand for one of my Roman bowls lol ❤️ xx thank you for the lovely comment Cara, sending you my best and catch up soon 😊 xx
What a fantastic and historical place Stephen. I wonder what the significance is of placing shells in the wall of the Chapel. It's amazing that it's still in use 🙂👍
Interestingly the shells are carried by pilgrims, the lines of the shell represent the direction they are walking. They have been used for thousands of years for pilgrimage to holy sites. More famously on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. A big thank you buddy, for your kind support and for watching too 😊😉 sending my best and catch up soon
Great history...Somehow, if you asked me where the 2nd oldest church was...I would have guessed London...I would never imagine that it could be here...But come to think about it...London in those times probably wasn't the center it is today....Just random thoughts on my side..ha ha ha...take care!!
I probably would have guessed the same as you buddy if I didn’t know any different about the chapel, I would love to visit the oldest, which is in Canterbury I think 😊 sending my best and catch up soon
Very cool area. I wonder if you could get a permit to Metal Detect there especially the marsh area. I really love the bricked buildings. You don’t see that kind of history here in the USA.
Well if you ever come to England, I will take you metal detecting. You don’t need a permit here in England, although but most land is owned by someone. Beach areas are usually regarded as public spaces. I think we will get away with metal detecting the marsh and beach close to this site 😉😊
