Thank you Paul for posting this video of St Nicholas Church. My wife and I found out only today that my 10th Great Grandfather was the Vicar here (Humphrey Cole) and is buried here also. We recently returned from our first trip to England (we are from Western North Carolina) and visited Calne in Wiltshire where other ancestors lived immediately prior to emigrating to North Carolina in 1785 where we all remain until present day. The wife and I will have to come through Tillingham in future as we plan to travel to UK each Summer now that we are (semi) retired. Thanks again and deepest condolences on the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II. God Save The King. Cheers.
Most welcome, 10th Grandfather, thats impressive & a long long way back, I've only managed to go back to 1810, Tillingham is a loverly village, if your that far over in Essex visit nearby Bradwell-on-Sea & it's Roman Fort Othona where Christiany was first established, your ancestors would also have visited there for sure, Queen Elizabeth II, legend, she had a great and unique life, that's how I will remember her, I was lucky to write & get two replies in the last 3 years
Humphrey Cole was my 9th Great Grandfather! As you said, family came from North Carolina (After Virginia) and my particular branch moved west into Lebanon, VA and then into Eastern KY, settling into Tiptop, KY. I have a family tree on Ancestry, and am dying to visit the church
Wow that's amazing I'm speaking with a direct dependent, Little did I know when I started this journey that folk researching thier family trees would be watching this, 9th Grandfather impressive, if you need any further Churches for your research let me know
@@TheFSeriesWell sir you and Paul have both made my day. We are no doubt the same Coles and I will soon notify as many of the Western NC Coles as I can. It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you also to Mr. Butterworth for the content. We are big fans.
@@Polly-Galgo Around the North side of the Church lays a brick table top tomb, & rests a Tyrell Lord of Buttsbury Manor, the Tyrells & Ancient Norman branch made Buttsbury thier home, as I write this I'm to be off to open up this fine Church for visitors
Next time you go Paul, have a look at “the Peculiar Peoples Church” there are four churches/Chapels. The Methodist church, St Nick, The PP Church and the old Chapel House. The other three are on North Street. 😊
@@paulbutterworthbillericay it's interesting, they were a religious lot in tillingham!! I lived there in the 90's and you never really are accepted as belonging there!! Lol! Once you get to Maldon, (wherever lived afterwards), it's more accepting! Though tillingham is a fab village to bring up small children 😀
@Paula-Galgo Yes, absolutely love Maldon, can say I'm the only person I know to have been ship wrecked off Osea Island when dad left the keel down!! Maldon kept our dauntless boat there, different now totally different
@@paulbutterworthbillericay we used to take our boat out there, the sheer pin went on the outboard motor and we had to make for a little hut in the middle of the Crouch to wait for the tide to turn or we'd have ended up in Belgium!!
I just checked again. It is around 20 - 21 meters, from the Church through the green, there are some excellent sites giving elevation, but I know what you mean, the land elsewhere dips down
@@paulbutterworthbillericay I lived further down Marsh Rd... once the tide was in at Bradwell, it was only the defences and elevated sea wall stopping the land flooding. X

I have some family there and have been myself.
A cracking part of Essex.
@@paulbutterworthbillericay I went through Buttsbury last weekend! Found the Lord Petre graves! I'll send them in a message.

Will do that. I generally don't cover the smaller Victorian churches, but I like the sound of the Peculiar Peoples Churche

There are many properties still owned by the diocese of St Paul’s.
Yes, I'm sure you're correct. Property seems to go up over time & must be a great investment to the holder
@@paulbutterworthbillericay my friend has leased a property there for more than 25 years... she would love to buy it, but St Paul’s won’t sell. 😞
Have a look at Heybridge Parish Church... 12th century I think.
Yes I pass it everytime I'm off following the Blackwater villages, now that's a cracking Church, always locked so will have to work on a contact
I don’t think it’s 21 meters above sea level, it’s straight onto marshes! I lived there many years ago.
