• II*

• Associated with Lord Sandys (of the Vyna) in the time of Henry VIII, the chapel was attached to the south side of the chancel of the Holy Ghost Chapel. A rectangular plan of 4 bays, 3-sided apse and a hexagonal stair turret at the south-west corner. What survives is the main part of the south and east walls, and the Tower; the walling below the cills has gone and the whole is badly weathered. Externally the fine ashlar has large openings, with 4 central arches containing signs of cusping at the top of 3 light mullioned windows, thin edge mouldings lie between large hollows. Between the openings are the remains of canopied niches, with octagonal bosses, thin panels above a plain slender octa- gonal attached shaft, this design is repeated at the corners of the stair turret, which is otherwise plain, with some small plain windows beneath hood-moulds. The south door, beneath a smaller window, has disappeared. The interior walling is in red brickwork, English bond.
