A rare survival of a fine domestic chapel, Horne's Place Chapel was built for William Horne in 1366 and attached to his timber-framed manor house, which was attacked during the Peasants' Revolt of 1381.
The house and chapel are privately owned.
Opening Times: The chapel is in a private garden and is open to the public on Heritage Open days only, on which no booking is necessary.
