Facilities

There is one primary school, St Nicholas C of E primary school. There are two chapels, the Peculiar People's chapel and the Congregational Chapel, and the 14th-century parish church of St Nicholas. The Parish Church has very strong links with St Paul's Cathedral, in London. The Corporation of the Cathedral Church of St Paul in London owns three arable farms and domestic properties in Tillingham.[6] Links go back to, at least, the middle of the 15th Century and the Cathedral remains the patron of the Parish Church.^{[citation needed]} The Peculiar People,[7] who opened their Chapel in 1867, were renamed in the 1950s the Union of Evangelical Churches. Their chapel in Tillingham closed down around 2005.[8]
