Monument record TQ 57 SW 14 - St. Edmund's chapel, East Hill, Dartford
Summary
Chapel built shortly after the death of Edmund the Martyr in 870, and associated enclosed cemetery. It is possible that it was succeeded by a chapel founded by John de Bikenore in the early 1300's on the same site. The chapel was ruinous by 1496 and in bad repair in 1516. A new chapel had been built in the 1540's but it was dissolved in 1547.Thorpe, writing in 1788 says that he measured the foundations of the old chapel in 1784 and that they measured 52 feet by 39 feet.
