Remains Of Chapel South Of Filham House

The remains of a chapel, originally the medieval chapel of St Andrew, are located south of Filham House. This chapel was licensed in 1400 and was later treated as a folly in the 18th century, with a tower added in 1742. Currently, only part of the walls from one end of the chapel still stands, and this may have been largely rebuilt when the tall, narrow polygonal tower was constructed at the east end in the 18th century. The tower features loops and includes a stone newel staircase, with a painted arch doorway at the bottom on the west side. The site is situated within the grounds of Filham House, which was built in the 18th century and remodeled in the 19th century, and it is also on the site of an earlier mansion.
