HY42NW 4 44298 26285
(HY 4430 2628) Chapel (NR)
(remains of)
OS 1:10,000 map, 1977
St Mary's Chapel (as shown on DoE (HBM) plaque) is as described and planned. The burial ground has been extended and is still in use. Revised at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (ISS) 13 October 1972.
HY 443 262 Recording was undertaken on the S wall of the nave of St Mary's Chapel (HY42NW 4) between July and August 2002. The S wall of the nave currently bulges dangerously outwards, threatening to collapse, thus requiring part of it to be rebuilt.
After the wall was recorded, some of the upper courses were removed. There was some difficulty in being precise about the exact boundary between original stonework, late 19th-century rebuild and 1930s consolidation. This is partly because some of the original stones have been reused, but mostly because of the way the dismantling disturbed, but did not remove, some of the stone, and the way the rebuild interleaves with the original.
