Former Chapel 40 Metres To South East Tinten Manor

The former chapel, located 40 metres southeast of Tinten Manor, is a private chapel that is now used as a store. It has origins dating back to the 16th century, with some alterations made in the early 18th century, as indicated by the datestones RB 1708 and IB 1719. The front of the chapel was likely partly rebuilt in the late 18th century or early 19th century. The building is constructed from finely coursed slatestone rubble and quartz, topped with a slate roof featuring gable ends.

The chapel has a rectangular plan with an entrance on the north side. The exterior is single-storey, and the north elevation may have been partly rebuilt in the late 18th or early 19th century. It features two windows with dressed stone segmental arches flanking a central 19th-century plank door. The datestones RB 1708 and IB 1719, associated with the Bligh family, are positioned beside the door. The east window, dating from around the 15th century, has three lights with cusped heads, although the mullions appear to have been altered, as the holes for the horizontal saddle bars do not align.

Inside, there is a piscina with a depressed arch in the south wall and a chamfered rectangular opening for an aumbry in the north wall. A floor has been partially inserted at the west end, and the roof was replaced in the late 19th or early 20th century. Historically, in 1330, Ralph Beaupel was granted a license to celebrate Divine Office in an oratory at Tynten, and in 1396, a license was granted to John Ratheny and Lady Alice to celebrate Divine Office in the chapel of St Nicholas within the Manor of Tynten.
