Monument record TR 04 SW 1 - Possible site of Conningbrook Chapel
Summary
Reportedly the site of Conningbrook Chapel is located next to a lake to the north east of Ashford town centre. According to documentary sources this structure was demolished by 1700 but it suspected that it existed in the 14th and 15th centuries. Recent excavations for Ashford Archaeological Society found foundations of the north, west and south sides of a rectangular building. Oral reports also state that there were Saxon buildings at this site although this is uncertain.
