Full Description
{1} Baker records a chapel here in 1180 but the site has not yet been identified.
{2} First mentioned at sometime during Henry II's reign. A little later, Walkelin, who was abbot of St James' Abbey between 1180 and 1205, gave permission to elect a chaplain to serve in the abbey's chapel at Heathencote. St James acquired other premises at Heathencote but the chapel seems to have had no later history and in the 1830s Baker reported that 'no trace or even tradition' of the building remained.
