Listed Building record TQ 94 NW 135 - CHAPEL RUINS AT BURLEIGH FARM, TO THE EAST OF BURLEIGH FARM COTTAGES

Summary

Grade II listed building. Main construction periods 1066 to 1540. To the east of the cottages at Burleigh Farm are the ruins of a Medieval flint building, possibly the remains of a chantry chapel. Only the north and east walls and the south west angle survive. There are no dateable architectural details and no evidence of internal sub-division. The building is heavily overgrown with ivy and in a very poor condition. There seems to be no real evidence for calling this building a chapel. Its proximity to the late 17th/early 18th century Burleigh Farm suggests rather that it may be one of the buildings of an earlier Burleigh Manor House.
