2/5 Ruins of St Nicholas Chapel

16.3.54 II

Ruined chapel. C13. Walls of flint with stone dressings. Roofless rectangular building; the west gable is virtually complete, with coupled high windows and two lower windows (now blocked). The north wall reaches eaves height for most of its length, the eastern lower side having the remains of stone jambs to an opening, one blocked opening and two very small square openings. The south wall drops to ground level towards the east, showing a window (half-height) and the base of a doorway. The east wall exists on the north side, from a central window jamb to the north-east corner, but below eaves level. Now an Ancient Monument. Note: the font bowl, on a later base, remains in the south aisle of All Saints Church, East Meon.
