Martin Trott, gentleman, was one of the commissioners to inquire into the religious condition of Essex (circa 1653). He married Miss Phillip Vavassor, of Waltham Abbey, January 20, 1616.

In Epping (the adjoining parish to Waltham Abbey and Nazing) the gospel had taken deep root under the evangelical ministries of Jeremy Dyke, Henry Wilkinson, John Harper, and others. The vicarage of Epping had been sequestered from Thomas Holbeach, whose character appears questionable, as he was deprived of his fellowship of Immanuel College, Cambridge. Wilkinson immediately succeeded Holbeach at Epping. Harper was at Nazing in 1648, and two years later the return for Epping is "Mr. Harper, by order of the Committee for Plundered Ministers, an able, Godly, preaching minister, in the vicarage." Harper was ejected, but eventually conformed.

Epping old church is pleasantly situated about a mile and a half from the town. At an early period a chapel-of-ease was erected for the convenience of the town dwellers. This was a free chapel, put in trust for divine service in 1573. In 1615, during the ministry of Dyke, George Campion bequeathed land in Theydon Bios towards the maintenance of the minister. To this chapel a new aisle was added in 1622, the same year in which Lionel Cranfield, Earl of Middlesex, a friend of Dyke and Dr. Fuller, sold Copt Hall, situated between Waltham Abbey and Epping.

Between the years 1638 and 1650, a meeting-house was erected in Epping on the site of an old malting-house. This place of worship was most likely closed during the severities that followed the Act of Uniformity. Nathaniel Ball laboured at Epping, preaching in his own house in 1672. In the same year, June 11, Richard Haylies licensed his house to preach in. John Nettleton, who married the daughter of Philip Doddridge, preached in it, and removed to Ongar in 1718. Zech. Hubbard was pastor in 1755, and was succeeded by Peter Good; Samuel Saunders followed Good in 1770. The present chapel was erected during Saunders' pastoracy. In

1780, William Evans Bishop succeeded, and was followed successively by Brown, James Gill, 1800, William Saunders Jones, Muston, Joseph Alcot, 1833, Stephen Banister, 1841; Josiah Chapman, 1843; G. D. Mudie, 1848; Samuel Chancellor, 1854.* John Teesdale Davies sustained the pastorate, for upwards of twenty-seven years. Lady Huntingdon occasionally visited the Congregationalists at Epping, as did also Whitefield and Toplady. Some twenty years since, a Baptist cause was established, and during that period other dissenting places of worship have sprung up in the neighbourhood.

Essex was one of the first counties in England in which itinerant preachers were sent forth to preach by the help of God, and the influence of Sir John Oldcastle, Lord Cobham and his friends; and the first known martyr who suffered for the truth was John Bull, an Essex man, and a follower of John Wycliffe. He was executed at St. Albans, July 15, 1381. John Becket, of Pattiswick, suffered death in 1420 for his adherence to the opinions of Wycliffe. In 1428, William White, a priest, of Colchester, and other Lollards, were put to death; and in 1430, Thomas Bagley was martyred for the same thing. William Sweeting, of Colchester, was compelled to wear a badge in the form of a faggot on his arm for many years. William Halliwell, a smith, of Waltham Abbey, was burnt, with twelve others, at Stratford, co. Essex, in June, 1556. Bishop Tunstal was, no doubt, the instigator of the punishment of many persons in the same county, on issuing an injunction to the Archdeacon of Essex, to the effect that all such books as Tyndale's New Testament were to be collected and burnt. In the course of two years from that time seventeen persons in and about Colchester were apprehended and burnt for their adherence to Tyndale's grand old version.
