Description

This chapel, located approximately 10 meters south of the Prebendal, dates back to around 1250 and underwent restorations in 1910 and between 1936 and 1939. It is constructed of uncoursed stone rubble with ashlar stone dressings and features an old plain-tile roof, showcasing an Early English architectural style. The chapel is a two-storey, two-bay structure with a basket-arched doorway and a plank door on the right side. The first floor has two lancet windows, while the east end features a graduated triplet of lancets. Inside, there is a reset piscina on the ground floor, and the chapel on the first floor is accessed via a 20th-century open wood staircase. To the right of the east window, there is a piscina with a shouldered arch, and the east window itself has slender detached shafts with stiff-leaf capitals. The roof is a single-framed coupled-rafter design with braced collars. Historically, a prebend was established around 1140 by the Bishop of Lincoln.
