Full Description
Remains of chapel?
'In this town, somewhat south of the church and near to the high road, stands an ancient pile of flint and brick etc pointing east and west, and has been a chapel or hermitage; it is called at this day the Pool-house, and is now converted to a little farm house belonging to Sir Thomas Hare; here seems to have been a guild belonging to it in 1467, called the gild of St Botulph of Stow Chapel, and perhaps the chapel was dedicated to St Botulph'. From (S1).
Refers to Church Farm? Note that the idear that Stow Bardolph gets its name from St Botolph is erroneous - it is named from the Bardulph family.
