8/39 Remains of Chapel of St. John the Baptist at Bailey Hall

GV II

Remains of chapel, 'lately built' in 1538 (VCH). Sandstone rubble with some sandstone ashlar dressings remaining. Parts of the north and east walls remain, to a maximum height of about 5 feet. They have a weathered plinth, and diagonal buttresses partly robbed of their dressings. There is said to be a vault remaining, but the entrance is now overgrown. The chapel window in the west front of Stonyhurst (q.v.) was removed from here by the Duchess of Norfolk c.1740-50.
