This 14th-century chapel is a rare surviving example of a medieval hospital chapel. Built in 1337, it features a striking combination of Gothic and Decorated styles, with a tall, narrow nave, a prominent tower, and stunning stained-glass windows. The chapel's interior boasts intricate stone carvings, ornate tombs, and a beautifully preserved medieval roof.
Remains of a medieval monestary that was converted into a hospital/Chapel later on. Just one building with some interesting architectural features in side. It is near a train station so it's best to park in the station car park and we paid PS1 for an hour, which is plenty of time to have a quick look around.
It's OK but I wouldn't go out the way to visit it, maybe if you're passing. Simple structure and information about it on the outside and website. There is also a bord inside. Parking is an issue. There is a carpark next to it, but the cheapest is a PS1 for an hour, and there is a camera picking up number plates as you drive in. Pub next door, so maybe combine the to.
Empty and not much going on, so only pop by if you're in the area, but a nice view. I'm giving this 4 over 3 stars because it had some information that could pertain to a site near me, Temple Manor, which has even less information than this place did, so it was nice to piece them together really.
Just a 'barn'. Worth popping your head round the door and checking out the diagram which shows the different ages of the building. It is free to visit, and, depending on the time of your visit, some free on road parking. No specific visiting times, just lightly push the door and go in. Maybe combine with a visit to the pub next door or on your way to Audley End, or similar.
Absolutely amazing place. Quite a spooky little vibe. Closed the door and even on a bright sunny day the corners were in darkness but it's a great place. There is a small wooden seat and a board that tells you information about the chapel. It's quite easy to find. There is a holiday inn and pub nearby.. due to coronavirus the pub was closed but the holiday inn was open and they allowed me to use the bathroom. I parked on the other side of the station and then just walked across the bridge. But you could park nearby... Some of it though is restricted parking or station parking so you would need a ticket. It was clean inside and great care had been taken in preserving the place. It's Free to go in and has open on the door. The old door is beautiful and it's like stepping backwards in time. The musty smell, smells like old books. For a bookworm like me a dream. Also, it has beautiful old wooden beams. Definitely recommend this place. It is family friendly however, lots of spiderwebs and the ground is quite stoney.
Historical disused chapel, now a peaceful place to relax also near a village pub. Don't need to be member of English Heritage to visit it.
