This ruin in the centre of Brentwood was built as a subsidiary chapel to South Weald Church in the 13th century and rebuilt in the mid to late 14th century. It ceased to be used as a chapel in 1835 and then served for a time as a boys' school before being mostly demolished in 1869. Today all that remain are the lower part of the tower and a small section of the nave. It is a scheduled ancient monument.
