Grade II* Listed former chantry chapel, later school. Rebuilt 1475 incorporating a Norman doorway. Re-roofed late 18 century and restored by G Gilbert Scott in 1857 and 1875. The chantry chapel of St John the Baptist was endowed early in the 13th century by Archdeacon Matthew de Stratton. It was owned by the London Hospital of St John Acon and possibly served the Hospital of St John the Baptist. Dissolved in the reign of Edward VI and known from about 1540 as the Royal Latin School. Now a second hand book shop with drinks and snacks owned by the National Trust.
