OS 6" map (1957)
Beckton Chapel, where traces of graves were still to be seen in 1793, is said to have belonged to the Knights Templars.
OSA 1793
A copious spring was once frequented as a consecrated well. Chapel Well is published at NY 1294 8244.
G Chalmers 1890
There are no visible remains of the chapel. The well, at NY 1294 8243, situated at the end of a drainage ditch, is visible as a pool of water surrounded by numerous loose stones, suggesting that it may at one time have been stone lined. The name Chapel Well is still in use.
Visited by OS (RD) 23 June 1966.
