Over a thousand years ago, an incredibly wealthy churchman built The Chapel as a private Chapel of Worship. It became derelict in the late 18th Century and was renovated and re-built by Mr William Fletcher and his architect, Mr H. L. F. Guermonprez in 1902. The original Chapel was almost twice the length that it is now.
The Saxon Aula, with its herringbone walls and arched entrance dates back to around the 7th Century and there are two wells beside the entrance, which still supplies fresh water to this day.
Our wonderful new Oak-framed carport caters for electric car parking and has been built over the Anglo-Saxon and Roman ruins. Before this work was carried out, an Archeological dig took place whereby all measurements of the ruins and foundations were recorded.
