Chapel Of St Leonard

The Chapel of St Leonard is an Anglican chapel dating from the mid-14th century. It was refenestrated in the mid-16th century, and became secularized after the Reformation. In the 16th century, a fireplace was inserted, and the east end was enlarged. The building was restored in 1896 and reconsecrated in 1940. It is now known as Dunkery View. Constructed of red sandstone rubble with a thatched roof that is half-hipped to the west, the chapel consists of a single cell with a cottage attached to the east, accessed via the west end.

The north front features two two-light trefoil-headed mullioned windows with hoodmoulds, flanking a lateral stack. A chamfered pointed arch opening, reached by three steps, forms the west end; it has a half-glazed 20th-century door, with a bell suspended from a wooden bracket above. The south front has a blocked square-headed opening between large raking buttresses, and a lancet window to the east.

The interior is rendered. A blocked east end window and a former doorway connect the chapel to the cottage. The roof is a seven-bay arch-braced structure, largely renewed. A reading desk is believed to have been made from 18th-century box pews from Selworthy Church, and mid-19th century pews from Milverton Church. The Acland family carried out the restoration, and the bell is reportedly from their yacht 'Lady of St Kilda'. Prior to restoration, the chapel served as a school.
