Intro:
I visited this chapel earlier in the week after spotting it while researching another visit. I was expecting it to be mostly empty and well sealed but had a nice surprise when I got in. It was pretty dark in there, very cold, and due to being situated in the middle of a field surrounded by hundreds of crows very peaceful. I spent quite a while in there despite its small size.

History:
I've had a brief dig around for the history of this little chapel as it was full of character and atmosphere. Apparently its been standing there for around a thousand years but has been closed for the last twelve. Its built from sandstone and limestone. In the 1800s it was restored, covering the floor made of rushes with carpet (now removed) and creating a roof made from large stone slabs. Before then it had no roof but the addition of one allowed pews to be installed.
