Monument record 2600/5 - Church/Chapel of St Andrew (St Andrew's Close alias Chappel Close)

Possible Chapel of St Andrew's located close to Burystead manor house. Possibly medieval.

{1} Possible medieval chapel of St Andrew's located near the manor house at TL08709130;

{2} In 1621 a building is shown on the northern end of St Andrew's Close alias Chappel Close.
Grid reference obviously incorrect as almost 1km from the manor house in Warmington, possibly should be TL 0770 9130?;

{3} Bridges refers to a chapel of St Andrew. The map and survey of 1621 {4} locates St Andrews or Chapel Close in the former Mill End and it was held with the adjacent Burystead Manor. No other documentation for its existence found. Probably a private chapel located within the Burystead enclosure as at Stanwick.

{4} The local incumbent has no knowledge of the chapel.
