Chisbury Chapel
This fine 13th century chapel was originally constructed by the lord of Chisbury Manor to assert his high social status.
 It allowed the household of the manor, as well as local people, to attend services and pay their taxes without having to travel to the parish church at Great Bedwyn.

The building ceased to be used as a consecrated chapel in 1547, and has been used as a barn for the past three centuries.
 But visitors to Chisbury will be rewarded with a pretty thatched and flint-walled construction, whose original function is still clearly visible today.
