Chapel of Ease
« on: Monday 17 November 08 21:17 UTC (UK) »
Can anyone tell me what a 'Chapel of Ease' was? Would it have been part of an Established Church and would a marriage there have any special significance?

Regards,
Carol

A Chapel of Ease was usually a second church within a parish, built to make it easier for parishioners to attend services; it would therefore have been situated a distance from the main parish church. they are to be found in R.C. parishes.

Not just RC ?

Billericay is a good example - brick built Chapel of Ease in the high street early 1800s - Parish Church was actually 3 miles away in Great Burstead, a particularly significant piece of architecture in comparison !

Hi everyone,
Many thanks for your help. I would say I'm looking for a C.of I. marriage.

Presumably any marriage would have been recorded in the main parish records.

Hard to advise on that, as you have given no details of which parish, which chapel!

Its been interesting, though. I had never heard of a Chapel of Ease. There's always something new to find out!
