Chapel House

Chapel House is a 14th-century chapel, later converted into a house in the mid-19th century. It is located on the east side of Minster Thorne Hill. The original structure is built of squared and coursed flints, with a plain tiled roof, and incorporates later rear wings constructed of brown brick and plain tiles. The building is two storeys high, with a garret and basement, and features single-stage buttresses. The north wall, originally the liturgical north wall, contains blocked arches and two shouldered lights at basement level. The liturgical east wall has the head of the east window, which is an unusual quatrefoil design over two ogee-headed lights. Later 19th-century two-light mullioned windows are placed on each floor. 19th-century chamfered doorways, with boarded doors, provide access to both the basement and ground floor. 19th and mid-20th century brick extensions are present to the rear. No original internal features survive from the chapel’s earlier use. The chapel was originally built as a private chapel for Thorne Manor, which was demolished in the 19th century.
