Withcote Chapel, Withcote

A stunning Tudor chapel with windows fit for a king

This delightful early 16th-century chapel stands in wooded countryside near a Georgian manor.

A towerless, pinnacled box made from pale gold ironstone, it looks like a miniature King’s College Chapel, Cambridge.

The impressive interior was refurbished around 1744 and has changed little since. The walls are wood-panelled and the pews elegantly carved.

But its most spectacular treasure is its stained glass, thought to be by Gaylon Hone, Henry VIII’s glazier.
