Elston Chapel
Once a parish church, this is now redundant, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It is a Grade I listed building which contains a fine Norman south doorway with zigzag decoration. Inside the chapel are layers of wall paintings. There is speculation that it was formerly the chapel of a medieval leper hospital dedicated to Saint Leonard.

Famous quotes containing the word chapel:
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
