The Chantry

The Chantry is a large detached house located on Far Wells Road in Bisley Village. It has parts that date back to the medieval period but was extensively rebuilt in the mid-17th century, forming an L-shape. There is also a late 19th-century addition. The building is constructed of random and coursed rubble limestone, with ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof.

The main range runs east-west and is two stories high with an attic, featuring a central south wing. On the north side, there is a two-storey gabled porch positioned to the right of the center, which has a square-headed chamfered opening with a hoodmould. Inside the porch, there is a similar doorway that contains the mutilated remains of an Agnus Dei carved on the stone lintel. Flanking the porch are three-light recessed chamfered mullioned casements, each with hoodmoulds. To the left, a single-storey outbuilding projects forward from below the upper floor's two-light window in the main range. The roof features three ridge-mounted chimneys with moulded caps.

On the south side, the main range has single-window fenestration on either side of a central projecting wing from the late 19th century. This wing includes a 19th-century mullioned casement on the ground floor and original two and three-light casements above. The end gables of the 19th-century wing, which is set back to the right, each have mullioned or transomed windows. The west end has a parapet gabled end with an off-centre single-light casement on the ground floor and a gable-mounted chimney with a moulded cap.

The Chantry is thought to have originally served as the residence for chantry priests, associated with the Church of All Saints, which was demolished in the 19th century.
