Chapel Of St Mary

The Chapel of St Mary, originally listed simply as "Chapel," is a Grade II* mortuary chapel located on the north side of Warminster Road in Chitterne. It dates back to around 1450 and features a mix of limestone and flint chequers, with a tiled roof that has alternating bands of plain and beaver tail tiles, and coped verges. The building has a chamfered plinth, and its west wall is constructed of rubble stone, featuring a hollow-chamfered pointed doorway with a reset planked door that has strap hinges.

On the south side, there is a blocked Tudor-arched doorway alongside a flanking two-light square-headed window that has Tudor-arched lights and hoodmoulds. The east window is a three-light Perpendicular style window with a pointed hoodmould. Inside, there are three late 18th century or early 19th century wall tablets with pediments commemorating the Huntly and Wheeler families. The north side mirrors the south side with two square-headed two-light windows.

The interior has rendered walls, flagstone floors, and a plastered barrel-vaulted ceiling. Notably, the font and pulpit from this church were relocated to the Church of All Saints in the 1860s when the nave and tower were demolished, although some fittings were retained. There is a 15th-century crocketed ogee-arched canopy in the southeast window, which no longer holds an effigy, a 17th-century communion table, and a 19th-century communion rail. Fragments of late Medieval stained glass have been brought here from the demolished Medieval Church of All Saints.

On the west wall, there are two memorial tablets: one is a stone tablet with floral drops and a scrolled pediment that has a marble inscription panel for Samuel Biggs, who died in 1789, and the other is a stone tablet with reeded pilasters and a moulded cornice dedicated to Ann Sanders, who died in 1800. Following the demolition of the larger part of this church in the 1860s, the chancel was preserved as a mortuary chapel.
