Description
The Chantry is a medieval building located on the west side of High Street, dating back to around the 13th century. It is believed to have been a chantry established by the Frecheville family or possibly a chapel founded by the Musard family, although this has been debated. The structure is made of stone rubble and consists of two storeys, featuring a gabled end facing the road, and one storey plus an attic to the right, which includes one stone dormer. The windows are plain sashes, arranged in an irregular pattern, and the roof is covered with old stone slabs.
Inside, there are signs of substantial timbering, especially in the roof, where the timbers are spaced unusually. A thorough understanding of the building's architectural significance would require some partial removal of later additions. In 1904, several skeletons were discovered on the site. At the time of the survey, the building was unoccupied and in need of significant repairs.
