Former St Andrew's Chapel, Boarley Lane, Boxley Abbey, Boxley - Maidstone

Former late C15 chapel, no longer used for worship, but converted to a house early on in its history. Unoccupied and in need of repair. Location affected by proximity of motorway. Purchased by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings as an exemplar in sensitive conservative repair and craft skills training. Improved security, temporary propping, structural monitoring, ground clearance and survey work carried out. A scheme for the repair of the building is underway with financial support from the Architectural Heritage Fund, The Pilgrim Trust and Historic England.
