Weddings at Ye Olde Plough House

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life and Ye Olde Plough House has everything to offer the Bride and Groom for their Civil Marriage Ceremony or Wedding Reception.
Ye Olde Plough House were originally built in the 14th century as a farmhouse and were owned by Richardatte Napleton. Also Used throughout the years as an almshouse, one can imagine the weary pilgrims as they sought shelter, food and hospitality around the central hearth of Ye Olde Plough House, for apart from ruffians, the whole area was rife with Malaria.
The old track from Brentwood through Bulphan to Tilbury once formed part of the pilgrims way for those travelling to the shrines of Thomas A Becket in Canterbury and our Lady of Walsingham in Norfolk. Legend has it that King Henry V111 himself sought shelter here, and it is also said that Dick Turpin was well known to ride through the area.
Mr Harold Monk bought the House in the 1960's and it then started life again as a small coffee shop without mains water or toilets. After many years Mr. Monk undertook extensive work to build Ye Olde Plough House, as we know it today. You will still find the original house in the landscaped gardens, which Mr. Monk’s ancestors reside in to this day. The beautiful grounds lend themselves to creative photography.  The bridge allows the happy couple to spend quiet moments together whilst we create a memory for them to treasure forever.
As well as being a prestigious function venue, today travellers can still find sanctuary on the busy A128 but they are travellers of a different kind. Now Ye Olde Plough House offers a warm welcome to passing motorists, tourists, businessmen, and foreign visitors on their way from the docks and anyone who needs for one reason or another to be away from home.
