Description
The former Chapel of St Mary Magdalen, later used as a barn and converted into a dwelling in 1999, dates from the 13th to 16th centuries. It is constructed of rubblestone with ashlar dressings, and has a corrugated asbestos roof. The rectangular building has an offset diagonal buttress. A modern stable door is present, alongside the remains of a pointed-arch doorway with imposts in the wall. High in the wall to the right is a pair of flat-headed chamfered cross-window openings, now filled with brick.
At the rear of the building is a four-centred arched doorway and, to the right, the remnants of a pointed-arch doorway. The east return elevation features a pointed-arch window.
Inside, a 15th-century piscina is located at the east end of the south wall, and fragments of tracery remain in the head of the east window. Later roof trusses are also present.
The chapel was endowed in 1253 as a chantry chapel connected to Jervaulx Abbey and is one of only three surviving monastic grange buildings in North Yorkshire.
