Elston Chapel, Elston

A rustic chapel in a tranquil setting

This small solitary barn-like chapel of Norman origin stands in the middle of a peaceful field. Without a tower or even a bellcote, it exemplifies simplicity and charm.

The most significant features is the entrance – this is a Norman door – a huge stone arch with zigzag decoration that is neartly 1,000 years old.

Look for the graffiti on the door jamb from 1717.

Inside, there are late Georgian rustic pews, a gallery, a communion table, a pulpit and several layers of wall paintings , some of which feature Georgian biblical texts.

A large Royal coat of arms is featured on the north wall.
