Map
Full Description
Small plot in Chapelfield Lane marked as Chapel Yard on tithe map.
(S1) confirms this site as St Edmunds Chapel, and mentions brickwork then visible. House on site 1700 referred to in documents. A font-shaped stone found; (S1) knew the owner but does not name him. He suggests this was the same as St Catherine's chapel mentioned in 1505, rededicated, as the descriptions of the locations are identical.
NB. Former record under this number confused site with St Mary's Chapel. See NHER 19803.
E. Rose (NAU), 6 December 1983.
30 December 1983. Visited by R. Silvester (NAU).
Delimiting dykes now removed but whole area formerly within covered by fragments of brick and fine-grained sedimentary stone. Only the odd sherd of post medieval pottery. Whole plot seems raised about 0.3m above surrounding land level.
Some of pottery recovered in 1983 reidentified as medieval.
