SINNINGTON NUNS WALK SE 78 NW (north side) 8/86 Barn approximately 10 metres north-east of The Hall 10.11.53 (formerly listed as Chapel or Hall 60 yards north of All Saints Church) GV I Grange hall, later used as a Chapel; now barn. Late C12, converted to chapel before 1430; refenestrated before 1430; floor inserted c1430; reroofed probably in C17 or later; further later alterations. Grange hall probably built for Guisborough Priory. Corallian limestone with slate roof. West front: 2 storeys, 2 windows. 2 doorways to left. End opening double chamfered with 2-centred, roll-moulded arch over a board door and screen with a square-paned pointed overlight. To right of this a lower plank door in a chamfered opening with rough quoins and 2-centred arch. Over this door and to right are 2 blocked 3-light windows with cusped pointed heads in elliptical-arched, double-chamfered openings. East front: 2 storeys with irregular openings. Inserted doorway with timber lintel to right of centre. At centre left an earlier blocked doorway with 2-centred head. Further left, a deeply-splayed chamfered opening with a segmental head containing a recessed trefoil-headed light. To right of blocked doorway at first-floor level an original window, partly decayed, of 2 pointed lights with colonnettes beneath a shallow pointed outer arch on colonnettes which show traces of waterleaf capitals. Further to right another, partly blocked, elliptical-arched, 3-light window similar to those on west front. Gable wall to south: later openings on ground floor. Above, 5-light window in double-chamfered opening, almost completely blocked. Interior is divided into 3 unequal parts by 2 massive beams, one chamfered, the other finely- moulded: both have mortices on their lower side for partitions which were in place in the early C20. 4-centred arch to south window over a moulded beam carved with floral motifs. Roof consists of 6 trusses with chamfered tie beams; wind-braced purlins and sprocketed rafters. History. After 1168 Ralphe de Clere gave to the Benedictine nuns at Yedingham the Church (qv) at Sinnington, together with lands; and a grange site to Guisborough Priory. In 1239 the Yedingham nuns agreed to support the Chapel and buildings owned by the Guisborough Priory for the purpose of entertaining the Canons. The Grange was let back to Simon of Guisborough in 1368. In 1431-32, Matilda of York, whose second husband was John, Lord Latimer, paid for the installation of partitions and flooring in the "Chapel at Sinnington" and for other works including the filling of holes and "old windows under the space of the said room". After the dissolution the grange probably passed to William Thwaytes, as the Rectory. Building in dilapidated condition at time of resurvey. Scheduled Ancient Monument No 146.
