The Peculiar People's Chapel

A Memory of Cressing.

Mark Pierson (hello Mark - we know each other) suggests the Peculiar People's chapel was in the Street - but it was definitely situated at Hawbush Green, at least during my early childhood in the Fifties. I distinctly remember hearing services held there as the congregation sang with gusto and without the benefit of any accompaniment - it was round the corner from where I used to live. By the way "Peculiar" in the title means "set apart" not "odd"! The chapel sadly closed soon after that but the Evangelical Church filled the gap. I remember Mark's father John very well, though I was no longer living in the village by that time - he became a good friend.
