Abstract:		 Monksthorpe Chapel, built in 1701, is a rare surviving example of an early Baptist chapel, with an external total submersion baptistry that is one of only two known in the country. It was built in a remote rural location, designed to look like a farmhouse or barn to prevent persecution of the congregation. The character of the building and its setting are well preserved. The survey identified six built structures, including the chapel, baptistry, a chapel-keeper's cottage and stable, a privy, a pigsty and a modern toilet block. The majority are in a good condition, though the pigsty is in a poor condition and at risk of collapse. Within the graveyard, 187 individual marker stones were recorded, the majority of which (101) are headstones. There are also low coped tombs, headstones within kerbed enclosures, two chest tombs, two pedestal tombs and one railed family enclosure. Many of the headstones had associated foot-marker stones, and some small marker stones may be for infant burials. Most of the 18th-century headstones have illegible inscriptions, and many of the 19th-century stones are also eroding. The 19th-century stones tend to be plainer in design that the earlier stones, which were more likely to have low relief figurative carvings above the inscriptions, with winged souls being the most common motif. The nature, condition and significance of identified archaeological features has been described, and cartographic research was undertaken to understand the landscape and enclosure history of the survey area.
