Chapel. C7. Said to have been built by the Saxon Bishop Cedd, circa 654.
Built astride the former west wall of the Roman fort of Othona, then called

circa 1920. Excepting C20 restorations, built of re-used Roman materials
including brick, ashlar and septaria. C20 red tiled roof. Originally with
apse, north and south porticus and west porch with later tower, now only the

the eaves and are 2 1/2ft. thick. In the east wall are Roman brick springers and
responds of 2 arches about 2ft. from north and south angles. Upper gable area

bays by tabled buttresses, the remains of 2 to each western bay are visible.

building was used as a barn and have now been rebuilt. Remains of a doorway
visible at east end of south wall. High up in the south wall are 2 windows with
possibly restored original jambs and splays, a similar window to north wall, the
