Description

The former chapel, located about 20 metres northwest of Court de Wyck, is now an outbuilding. It dates back to the 14th century but has been largely rebuilt and altered. The structure is made of rubble, partly rendered, with large limestone quoins and dressings, and features a pantiled roof with raised coped verges.

The north front has an external stair with two segmental arches underneath; one arch is made of limestone with a keystone, while the other is brick. Above the stair, there is a door located under the eaves. To the left of this entrance, there is a former opening that has been blocked, which may have originally been a four-centred arch. Attached to the right side of the front is a single-storey lean-to that has a segmental-headed door and a two-pane light at the front.

The left gable end features a door with a flat head and an 8-pane sash window above it, although the glass is missing. The right gable end has two window openings from the 19th century, and an addition to the left includes garage doors and a window opening at the rear. The rear of the building has a stone pointed arch with a hollow chamfer and roll-moulding, which is blocked, and a loading door opening under the eaves to the right.

Inside, there are surviving early features such as deep chamfered and stopped beams. The gable end retains the remains of a stone moulded arch, while the rear wall has remnants of a stone pointed arched doorway. The front wall features a four-centred chamfered stone doorway from the 15th or 16th century. The upper floor, likely used as a cheese room, has hooks in the upper beams and racks, with a later roof structure that includes principal rafters, a collar, two rows of purlins, and a ridge purlin with plated yokes. Historical records indicate that in 1333, Agnes, daughter of John de Wyck, was married in this chapel to Sir Theobald de Gorges of Wraxall.
