[TR 03284370] Chapel (NR) (site of) [NAT] (1)

Erwood states he "came across a fairly recent excavation" of the chapel at Conningbrook "about 30 years ago" [i.e. c. 1922]. He produced a plan (dated 1931) and ascribes the slight remains to the late C14th or early C15th. (2)

Igglesden also notes Saxon buildings exposed. (3)

Elliston Erwood could add no further information on this chapel nor give the name of the person responsible for the excavation. There are no visible remains and no other information was gained (4).
