CHAPEL. In ruins. The antiquarian will not find much to instruct him, but the picturesque traveller much to delight him. Situated in a coppice, completely surrounded by trees and undergrowth. The fragments of nave and chancel stand irregularly to a height of Io to 20 ft. They are of flint and all details have decayed so much that outlines, door, and window holes now appear like designs in a Henry Moore or Hepworth style. Inside the building and closely around it is lawn. The ivy has been removed to bare the wall surfaces.*
* This was presumably Hine's work and is now long gone - the remains are now swamped by an entanglement of undergrowth.
Mee covers it in his Preston entry.
