The chapel is on the first floor and is not open to the public. Like first-floor chapels at other priories it is dedicated to St Michael and would have been used by the prior for private worship. The chapel is above the remains of the church which can be seen in the last photo.
In the nineteenth century a garden was created to enhance the ruins. Part of the garden can still be seen in the cloister.
So beautiful.
It is a lovely romantic ruin.
A place I’d like to visit, thanks to your photos. Isn’t interesting that (the plural of) ruin is able to fascinate so many people?
I am sure you would love the place
and now you have got me pondering on the word ruin/s…

Great pics and a lovely place. We were there this spring but the pics never made it to my blog at least yet. You are a blessing – I look forward to your coments and you always have one. Thanks for that very much:)
Thank you
I love visiting your blog for you great photos and you always make your journeys sound so much fun 
It has so much class and pride. It’s hard to call this a ruin. The photos are beautiful.
It has a lovely atmosphere
Lovely photos. I love the coloured bricks in the column that remains.
You do visit some beautiful places. I told Husband I wanted to go to Chatsworth and he said, ‘We’ve been.’ Must have been in the days of young children when nothing stayed in my head.
Chatsworth would be well worth another visit. The displays will have changed since last time you were there.
