Abstract:		 A programme of building recording and desk-based research was undertaken by South West Archaeology on a chapel at Lower Alsworthy Farm. The origins of the chapel at remain uncertain but the roof structure of the existing building dates to the 15th century. However, entry 159 in the Torre Abbey Cartulary demonstrates that a chapel existed here by, at the latest, the mid-14th century. The existing rectangular single-cell building has undergone a substantial amount of repair and/or rebuilding work, but it still retains elements of the primary build and traces of its ecclesiastical architecture. Three of the moulded arch-braced roof-trusses, which were once embellished with carved bosses, survive, and the apparent join in the stonework of the west wall may indicate the presence of a former priest's dwelling to the west of the chapel, where a small building stood until the 1970s. Like others of its kind, the chapel at Alsworthy was transferred to agricultural use after the Reformation, but it managed to retain important elements from its earlier days.
