The Chapel of St Thomas a Becket is a medieval religious structure located in Essex, England. The chapel dates to the medieval period and represents a small-scale ecclesiastical building type characteristic of the region. As a chapel dedicated to St Thomas a Becket, it reflects the significant popular veneration of the martyred archbishop following his canonisation in 1173, which stimulated the construction of numerous chapels bearing his name throughout England during the later medieval centuries. The surviving fabric and architectural details provide evidence of medieval devotional practice and the organisation of religious space within the Essex landscape.
