Description
St Pancras Chapel is a building that has been converted into a cottage. It dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, with alterations made in the 17th century and early 20th century. The structure is built from red sandstone random rubble and features a plain tiled roof with stone stacks at the gable ends. Originally, it was a single cell, but it has been modified to a two-cell layout, and it may have originally extended to the east with a chancel.
On the south front, there are two hipped dormers inserted into the roof space, and all the windows on the facade are early 20th-century leaded casements. Below the eaves, there is a small inserted casement that lights the stairway, while the ground floor features a large casement in the end bay to the right of center and another bay to the left. The left return has a squint with a three-light ovolo moulded mullioned window above, and there is a lancet window on the rear elevation.
Inside, the chapel has steeply chamfered beams with enriched stops and an arch-braced collar beam roof that retains remnants of two tiers of curved wind braces. The building is known as the Chapel of St Pancras, and a holy well associated with it is still present about 10 meters to the southwest.
