Lady Chapel. The remains are of a rectangular building measuring externally 8m x 5.3m. The remains of the walls are 0.7m thick and rise to a maximum height of 1m.
There are the remains of a doorway at the west end but there are no dateable features. The remains are in poor condition, overgrown, and partly covered with fallen saplings.
Lady Well. A natural spring issuing from between two stones with a third stone on top forming a cover. The stones are not dressed and are possibly a natural formation. (5)
Condition unchanged. Published survey 1/2500 correct. (6)
Ruins of Lady Chapel on north bank of River Wansbeck, grade II listed building. Mid-14th century probably rebuilt in later 15th century. Single cell measuring c.7 x 4m internally. Walls survive up to four courses high. Carved shield with the arms of Ogle and Bertram quartering Kirkby was removed in the early 19th century to Bothal Castle. Some 18th century engravings show some late 15th century features. 12m to the north-east are some carvings on a rock face of a shield, probably carved by a Morpeth curate in the early 19th century.
