Description
The chapel located to the south-east of Sheldon Manor is a private chapel built in the mid-15th century and restored in the late 20th century. It is constructed from local rubble stone and features a stone-tiled roof.
The chapel has a rectangular single-cell plan, aligned from west to east. The exterior showcases a gable-ended structure topped by a pitched roof with a stone ridge and a cruciform finial at the eastern end. At the western end, there is a 20th-century moulded stone pointed arch surrounding a timber door fitted with strap hinges, above which is a single-light window. The north wall has a central door that has been blocked, and another door has been replaced with a two-light window. Additionally, there is a small single-light window on the eastern side of the north wall. The eastern end features a two-light window set within a pointed stone arch, with cusped heads and a glazed quatrefoil above. In the south wall, there is a square opening containing a two-light window with cusped heads.
Inside, the west wall displays a 13th-century timber with dog-tooth style ornamentation above the door. The eastern window contains fragments of 15th-century glass that were inserted during the 20th century. The interior also features a restored two-bay collar-beam wind-braced roof and a flagstone floor.
