Image: © Jeremy Bolwell Taken: 29 Feb 2012
A 17th century chapel that fell into disuse and then disrepair in the 19th century and by 1914 was one of the very first important historic buildings to be taken into the care of the state. It is now owned and managed by English Heritage. Its importance is that it illustrates how small Anglican chapels operated in the 1600's - and the interior comprises box pews, a desk for musicians and bench seats at a communion table for the sacrament, all in a simple plan.
