Chisbury Chapel, Wiltshire

Used as a barn for the last 3 centuries, St Martin's Chapel, Chisbury is a Mediaeval former chapel next to the manor house in of Chisbury. It allowed the household of the manor and the local people could attend services and pay their taxes, or tithes, without having to travel to the parish church.

St Martin's is believed to have been built in the early part of the 13th century. There are written records of it from 1246 onwards and its surviving architecture is contemporary with that period. 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.

Between 1496 and 1518 St. Martin's was without a priest, but it was served again from then until 1547. Thereafter St. Martin's lapsed from use for worship and was used as a barn. It was re-roofed with thatch in the 19th century and is a listed building, but in 1998 its condition was semi-ruinous.
