Childerditch is a dispersed settlement and ancient parish in the Chafford Hundred of Essex. It is located three miles south-east of Brentwood, between Little Warley, to the west, and West Horndon to the east. It is one of a group of long narrow parishes sloping from a wooded ridge to the Thames plain.

There has been a parish church since the 13th century. The present Childerditch church is a landmark on a hilltop to the north of the A127 road. The church is dedicated to All Saints and St Faith. It was constructed in 1869, on the site of its predecessor, to the designs of D. C. Nicholls and Fred Johnstone.[1]
