Full Description
Site of chapel of pre-Reformation date. The OS Name Book (1866) records that 'It is a well-known tradition that a chapel stood in this field previous to the Reformation. All remains of it have now disappeared and I have not been able to meet with any person who can point out the site of the Chapel. The enclosure is well known as Chapel Park'/ There is now no trace of any building at this site although a vertical aerial photograph shows a possible enclosure in this area. This site may refer to one of the chapels mentioned NJ91NW0020. The recorded position, on a southwest facing slope in an arable field, corresponds with a natural rock outcrop which has been used as a dump for field clearance.
