Monument record TQ 77 SW 18 - Chapel (site of)? Human rems found alleged site of Nunnery
Summary
The site of Lillechurch has in the past been suggested as the site of a medieval nunnery. Building foundations and human bones have been found on the site but these are now believed to represent a chapel that once existed here, rather than the nunnery itself, which is believed to be the site at Abbey Farm, Higham.
