SEX73891 - Former Congregational Church, North Road, South Ockendon

The chapel was built in North Road in 1812, partly at the expense of John Cliff of South Ockendon Hall, who in 1828 built a manse and in 1832 provided an endowment for the minister's salary. The original minister was Anthony Brown (1814–51). Both are memorialized in the chapel. In 1829 the congregation at South Ockendon numbered about 300. Joseph Morison, minister 1852–84, also attracted large congregations - he is interred by the north wall of the chapel.
