Tilbury, Weft, a village and parifli in the hundred of 

 Barftable, and county of Eflex, England ; is fituated 24 

 miles S. by W. from Chelmsford, and 27 E. by S. from 

 London. It appears to have been an epifcopal feat of 

 Cedda, bifhop of the Eaft Saxons, who in the 7th cen- 

 tury propagated the Chriftian religion in this county, and 

 built churches in feveral places, but " efpecially," as Bede 

 reports, " in the city, which, in the language of the Saxons, 

 is called Ythanceftre ; and alfo in that which is named Til- 

 laburgh (the firft of which places is on the banks of the river 

 Pant, the other on the banks of the Thames), where gather- 

 ing a flock of fervants of Chrift, he taught them to obferve 

 the difcipline of a regular life, as far as thofe rude people 

 were then capable." Ythancefi;re is fuppofed to have flood 

 at the mouth of the river Pant, or Blackwater, but has been 

 entirely engulphed by the fea. Tilbury is now only a fmall 

 village, containing, as the return of the year 181 1 ftates, 44 

 houfes and 1 1 7 inhabitants. A medicinal fpring was difcovered 

 here in the year 1727, of great efficacy in cafes of haemorrhage, 

 fcurvy, and fome other diforders. (See Tilbvry -Water.) 

 The marflies in this, and the contiguous pariflies, are chiefly 

 rented by the grazing butchers of London, who generally 

 ftock them with Lincolnfliire and Leicefterfliire wethers, 

 which are fent hither about Michaelmas, and feed till Chriil- 

 mas, when they are conveyed to the metropolis for fale. 



On the banks of the Thames, in this parifli, is Til- 

 bury-Fort, originally built as a kind of block-houfe by 

 Henry VIII., but enlarged into a regular fortification by 

 Charles II., after the Dutch had failed up the river in the 



year
