St Martin's Chapel, Chisbury
St Martin's Chapel, Chisbury is a mediaeval former chapel next to the manor house in the hamlet of Chisbury, Wiltshire, England.
St Martin's was built in the early part of the 13th century,[1] on the edge of Chisbury Camp, an Iron Age hillfort.[2] There are written records of it from 1246 onwards and its surviving architecture is contemporary with that period.[1] The walls are faced with flint. The windows have the remains of good-quality Decorated Gothic tracery that suggests they were added in the latter part of the 13th century.[1][3]
Between 1496 and 1518 St. Martin's lacked a priest, but it was served again from then until 1547.[1] Thereafter St. Martin's lapsed from use for worship and was re-used as a barn.[1] It was re-roofed with thatch in the 19th century.
The chapel is a scheduled ancient monument[4] and is in the guardianship of English Heritage.[5]
