St Osyth Heath is a hamlet in the civil parish of St Osyth, in the Tendring district, in the county of Essex, England. Until the mid-1900s, The Heath was a thriving community with shops, various self-employed tradesman and The Beehive Public House. Today all this has disappeared, with the pub now converted into an Indian Restaurant.
Robert Beales ( the ancestor to all the Beales in St Osyth) arrived in the Heath in 1819 travelling from Needham Market seeking work. By the 1890`s the Beales family dominated the local area with various skills such Broom Makers. Hurdle Makers, Bricklayers, Carpenters etc.
So with all this talent they built the Chapel at a cost £150 with seating for 60 in 1896. This saved them a 2 mile walk to the Methodist Chapel in St Osyth
Sometime during the 1900`s, all the families relocated to St Osyth. The building still stands today, retaining the original Chapel but with various external additions.
