In the 7th century, the Anglo-Saxon monk Cedd discovered a ruined Roman fort here. He built the first chapel, likely a wooden iteration of the one today, which was built a year later using brick from the fort. Few records of the chapel exist until much later and it was used as a semaphore station during the Napoleonic Wars.

The chapel became Grade-I listed in the mid 1900s and was reconsecrated and restored. Today, it once again serves as a church and quite an atmospheric one at that, given its lonely location on the fringes of Bradwell Marsh.
