Curious little piece of history and an insight into how things were done in the era of the Platagenets. Its a tiny space comprised of the Chapel and the crypt below. The roof was off limits sadly when the Chapel was open as part of the programme of Heritage events. On street parking on the industrial estate is limited, there is a council car park 5 mins walk away, or the Bridge pub. It's probably the best place for refreshments and facilities close by.

A little gem packed with history, lots of information and a volunteer on hand to answer any questions. If you fancy the tight squeeze you can go look downstairs. Could just do with a bit more information when it is open. There is a few carpark spots on the North side of the bridge. Also a good place to watch wildlife in the river

This Chapel is cared for by volunteers and is well kept. It's an interesting place to visit with an informative video playing to explain the history. I am glad the Chapel is used for worship.
