All welcome.
History tells us that St Cedd was Appointed as Bishop of the East Saxons around 630 AD and commissioned to convert the East Saxons from paganism to Christianity. He established monasteries at Bradwell and probably East or West Tilbury and said to have used the many springs in the area for baptism. It is possible that the spring next to the churchyard at North Ockendon was used for such baptisms. St Cedd established many churches in East Mercia (Essex including London) and is generally acclaimed for his qualities of personal dedication, welcoming inclusion, negotiation and persuasion.
