OK, it's 800 years off being prehistoric but isn't this a brilliant story?

Is it the cross above the doorway that makes it a chapel :-)

Great stuff Nigel, thanks for that (although couldn't you have found it somewhere less Murdoch-y?).

Is it really the smallest? I'm sure there are competitors...

While we are on tiny chapels, the Guernsey one is a work of art. Saw it as a kid when the family had a day out ferry trip from Jersey.

Could do with a tidy-up! ;p

You ever been to St Laurence's Chapel in Bradford-on-Avon? Nice to see some pre-Norman stonework surviving!

Another little Saxon church at Alton Barnes and in the heart of prehistoric Wiltshire. In urgent need of funds to maintain it for future generations.

PS: Should also mention in one small area there are greensand springs which are the source of the river Avon and another tiny church in Alton Priors which has an ancient in the churchyard. A sacred and ancient feel to the place.
