Full Description
[SK 1949 6972]. There is no doubt that a 12th century church existed at this location. The present chapel is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It has recently undergone extensive restoration amounting to almost a complete rebuilding and was opened again in 1870. Pervious to the restoration was a semi-circular slab of stone built into the south wall with a crude carving of a boar and a wolf underneath a tree. This stone once served as the tympanum or top stone of a semicircular doorway of the Norman chapel. (1)
