Abstract:
A survey to record in elevation and plan the ruins of the chapel of St Margaret's at Wenhaston with Mells Hamlet was undertaken in advance of urgent repair stabilise the structure. St Margaret's dates to the early 12th century, it has been robbed completely of all its valuable building material and has had lost every piece of dressed stone. Documentary records state that the chapel was out of use from 1465 and it was a ruin by the time Hodskinson drew his map in 1783. The excavation of a test hole showed that the original floor had been removed, but a brick surface laid post 17th century was uncovered. The extent and function of the surface is unknown but it may have been a previous attempt to consolidate the arch or present the ruin as a picturesque folly.
