Description
Carnary Chapel is a Grade I listed chapel founded in 1316 by Bishop Salmon. It is constructed of stone with a plain-tile roof and features four bays above a four-bay twin-aisled undercroft. There is a door to the undercroft on the left side, which has a moulded two-centre surround and three cusped circular windows. The chapel has four three-light proto-perpendicular windows with pointed two-centre arches. Additionally, there are cusped niches with pointed arches and crocketed finials on the buttresses. The east window is partly blocked and features 19th-century intersecting tracery. The chapel includes polygonal angle-turrets on all corners except the north-west corner. It is also scheduled as an Ancient Monument.
