BILLERICAY, (Essex) 4 m. from Burntwood, 20 cm. and 23 mm. from London, is a hamlet only and chapelry of the p. of Great- Bursted, but has a considerable Mt. on Tu. especially for corn, and a Fair July 21. Its chapel was once a chantry, founded above 200 years ago by one of the family of Sulyards of Runwell. K. Edw. VI. sold it with the manor to one Mr. Tyrrel, and his heirs, for ever, who kept the lands, but sold the chapel to the T. which however is said not to have been consecrated 'till 1693. The living belonged to the Ld. Petre; but, it is said, the T. elects the minister, and that he is presented by the U. of Cambridge.
