Ramsden Bellhouse is a tiny civil parish and village in Essex. It is part of the district of Basildon and in the parliamentary constituency of Billericay, just 28 miles east of Central London. The commuter community lies in the London Basin and features various open spaces, wooded areas and historic sites. There are burial mounds in the Norsey Wood areas of Billericay, and Roman cavalry fort locations have been found along Blunts Wall.

Norsey Wood is a 165-acre mixed woodland with a history of human occupation dating back some 4000 years. It is a designated Local Nature Reserve valued for a rich variety of unique local wildlife as well as historical human habitation. The River Crouch flows under Church Road through Ramsden Bellhouse. This river flows entirely through the county of Essex from Battlesbridge to Holliwell Point, a distance of 17.5 miles.
 
During the Middle Ages, one Roger fitzReinfrid was a Royal justice who held land at Ramsden Bellhouse. He later granted the church there to Lesnes Abbey. The Parish Church of St. Mary dates in part to the 13th century. The south porch still stands and dates to the later 14th century, and the west tower or belfry is from the 15th century. These structures are timber-framed, making their preservation significant. The rest of the church building dates to times that are more modern.

Nearby Basildon is the largest town in the borough. The town of Billericay sits to the north of Ramsden Bellhouse. In 1916 during WWI, a giant German Zeppelin airship was shot down during an air battle over Billericay. It crashed into a nearby field, barely missing the High Street.
