The chapel was probably built by the Brockhamptons around 1180. The octagonal font was carved from a single block of stone about the same date. The Domultons inserted the large east window, probably at the time they were building Lower Brockhampton House. The graveyard contains numerous burials – perhaps the remains of the inhabitants of the lost village. The gravestones that are still legible commemorate Richard Barneby (d.1719) and his wife Isabella (d.1726). The chapel had been abandoned by 1799, when Jon Barneby built a new estate church by the drive to his father’s new house. The old chapel was swallowed up by the adjacent farmyard, being relegated the status of a barn.*
