Where to stay in Chadwell St Mary
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Chadwell St Mary lies two miles east of the centre of Grays, its post town, and a mile north of Tilbury, so the practical bed is in one of those two rather than here. The village core is small. What it keeps is a set of named houses, Chadwell House, High House, Post House and Mill House, around the Church of St Mary, with Emmanuel Church the second place of worship.
Thurrock spreads the rest of Essex around it.
