Remains of Chantry at Kilve, Sea Lane, Kilve - West Somerset
Early C14, with later medieval additions, formerly believed to be remains of collegiate dwelling of chantry priests. A Historic England survey has shown that the ruins are part of an important manorial complex. Historic England funded emergency repairs in 2010 and 2011, a conservation plan and further works in 2013 and 2014. Ongoing talks between Historic England and the owner are positive and further jointly funded consolidation works were undertaken in 2015. Structural movement in one gable, which is propped, remains to be addressed and another phase of work is planned for 2018-19.
