William Bernard, 12th Baron Petre "a pattern of charity and piety", was an enthusiastic builder of churches. To a greater or lesser extent, he was responsible for new churches in Brentwood, Chipping Ongar, Barking, Romford and Chelmsford and a mortuary chapel in the grounds of Thorndon Hall, as well as twice extending the chapel at Ingatestone Hall, which then served as the parish church for the locality.
