Odda's Chapel, Deerhurst

Deerhurst, Odda's Chapel


Odda's Chapel was (re)discovered in 1885 by Revd George Butterworth, Vicar of Deerhurst, hidden beneath plaster of the property it was attached to known as Abbot's Court, shown as the timber-framed building on this photograph.

It is now in the care of English Heritage and is described on its notice board as:

A small late Saxon Chapel with many characteristics associated with Anglo-Saxon construction, including long-and-short quoins (corner stones), double-splayed windows and tall proportions.”

A photograph of the interior of Odda's Chapel (with further commentary) is also available.
