Description

Horton Manor Chapel is a manorial chapel that has been repurposed as a barn, oasthouse, and storehouse. It dates back to around 1300 for the nave, with a late 14th-century chancel and some alterations to the nave, as well as two later additions from the 19th century for oasthouses. The building is constructed of flints, partly covered with rough plaster. The original tiled roof was missing at the time of the survey. The nave and chancel feature a bellcote at the west end with two arches, but no original window openings remain. To the north and east are late 19th-century oasthouses made of flint with red brick dressings, one of which still has a pyramidal roof structure. Inside the chapel, there is a late 14th-century Reigate stone chancel arch and a trefoil-headed piscina. The circa 1300 scissor-braced roof of the nave and part of the chancel, along with a late 14th-century crownpost roof beneath, were in a collapsed state at the time of the survey. The site is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
