Description
The Hermitage is a small chapel situated on the site of, and succeeding, an 8th-century cell of St Pega. It was erected by John de Wynbeck. The building consists of two cells. The nave dates to the 15th century, while the chancel is around 1300. It was heavily restored and remodelled into 13th-century style in the 19th century and again in the 20th century, serving as a convent chapel. The chapel is constructed of coursed stone with a steeply pitched plain tile roof and coped gable ends. The west end features three stepped lancet windows. The chancel has a 15th-century east window. An Early English style south door is set alongside a three-light window. St Pega was a sister of St Guthlac, the founder of Crowland.
