Site Details

Site of Medieval chapel, High Haswell (Haswell)

A medieval chapel was mentioned in charters dating to around 1300. However, little else is known about it, and its precise location has been lost.

This is a Scheduled Monument encompassing the site of the chapel which is on a platform on the west side of the field known as Chapel Garth. The building was of stone measuring approximately 10m by 20m, without aisles. The chapel is first mentioned in the Chantry Survey of 1547-8.

There are no visible remains above ground today. This site is protected by law.

Probable earthwork site of Medieval chapel documented in circa 1300. There is a raised area measuring approximately 25m east-west and 35m north-south at the position of the OS siting symbol. There is not a higher concentration of stone here than in other parts of the field.
