Listed Building record TR 15 NE 699 - CHAPEL OF ST PANCRAS RUINS

Summary

Grade I listed building. Main construction periods 598 to 1164. Anglo-Saxon church probably built during the early to mid 7th century almost entirely using Roman bricks with Roman columns for the chancel arches. It consisted of a simple nave with a narrower apse with a small porticus on its south side. Between the nave and the apse was a cross-wall opened through an arcade. Excavations in the 1970s showed a second phase of Anglo-Saxon construction when some of the walls were substantially rebuilt and porticus added on the north, south and west of the nave. A cemetery was associated with this church phase. Partly rebuilt after storm damage circa 1390 with a square east end and a large window. Possibly used as a cemetery chapel.
