Tillingham Excursions in the County of Essex by Thomas Kitson Cromwell 1818 This village is very near the sea shore. About this place it has been remarked, " the roads are good, as is also the water, a thing not very common in these parts." Tillingham Hall stands on the north side of the church. Tillingham Grange is near two miles south-east of the church, in the marshes. The church was rebuilt in 1708, by a pound rate on the inhabitants. It has a gallery at the west end, and is handsomely pewed. The tower is of stone, and contains five bells. The edifice stands on a dry rising ground, and the walls are remarkably thick. In the south aisle of the chancel are four niches or arches, in one of which is a brass plate, by which it appears that Edward Wyatt, esq. who died in July 1584, is buried there. He is represented kneeling, with a book before him, &c. In the churchyard, an epitaph upon the wife of John Sewel, who died in childbed in Nov. 1766, aged 25, mentions that she was the fifth sister who experienced a similar fate. The only remaining place between us and the ocean is Bradwell.
