Description

The Chapel of St Katherine is a rectangular chapel with its eastern half dating from the 14th century and the western half from the 15th century. It features walls made of flint and chalk, and a 19th-century tiled roof with gabled ends. The north elevation is banded with stone, and there are trefoil-headed windows with stone dressings. Inside, the chapel contains double sedilia and a piscina. The chantry chapel was suppressed by Edward VI in 1545, and in the 18th century, the building was used as a malthouse. It was restored as a chapel by George M Arnold FSA in the 1890s.
