[TQ 8355 2920] Chapel [NR] (Supposed site of) (1) Forsham: on this manor there were within memory the ruins of an ancient stone structure, supposed by some to have been the remains of a fort of some strength, and by others to have been a manorial chapel. (2) Mr. D. J. Lingham, owner of Forsham, knew the site and supposed it to be of a chapel; he knew no tradition of a fort. Some years ago when digging a fence post hole at TQ 8353 2930 (about 100m. NNW of the site) he found what he believed to be the rounded top of a plain stone coffin, but did not remove it. There is a large block of apparently worked stone about 50.0 m. NW of the site, but no other surface evidence of building. (3)
