Tillingham is a small village and civil parish in the Maldon district of Essex, in the east of England. It sits on the Dengie Peninsula close to the salt marshes and sea walls by the River Blackwater estuary, which gives the area wide skies, rich birdlife and a distinctly coastal‑agricultural landscape.
Traditionally an agricultural community with maritime connections, the village retains historic buildings and a strong local social scene centred on the village hall and pub. Many residents work on the land or commute to nearby towns, and the locality’s long history is evident in nearby sites such as the early chapel at Bradwell-on-Sea, reflecting Roman, Saxon and coastal heritage.
