GV II
Remains of chapel, 'lately built' in 1338 (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.
