Abstract: |
The Chantry Chapel, Buckingham was founded in the 12th century but later converted into a school building. The building contains an aumbry and piscina from its use as a chapel. Its fabric was renovated in the nineteenth century, resulting in suites of windows which are almost entirely of that period. Earlier, blocked windows can be discerned, as can a configuration of scaffold put-log holes deriving from previous building or renovation works. Records for the building are held by the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies (Buckinghamshire Record Office), the Buckinghamshire Historic Environment Record and the National Monuments Record, Swindon. Other than these, the building's history is best set out in a book by Paul Poornan (2001). This assessment adds structural detail to the documentary and historical understanding of the building. |
