| This is the site of the Chapel of St Helen’s, that was first mentioned in 1300. When it was mentioned in early 18th century writings it was said to be in ruins. In 1802 the end wall was pulled down, but parts of the building were still visible in 1880, though nothing can be seen now. Geophysical survey of the area had no clear results, but excavations found seven short sections of wall. These were thought to be part of the chapel. A possible small fragment of the west end of the chapel wall may survive as part of the boundary wall west of the Parish Hall. This remaining fragment is a Grade II listed building protected by law.
