Chadkirk Chapel near Romiley in Cheshire dates from the 14th Century. After restoration in 1995 it has became a tourist attraction. Wikipedia states that:
"There are records of a chaplain at or maybe from Chadkirk in 1347. The chapel fell into decay, passed through a succession of owners and was used as a stable. For a time it was used by non-conformists who were ejected during the reign of Queen Anne. It again became neglected and was 'in a ruinous condition until in 1747 it was taken over once again by the Chutrch of England and restored. Further repairs were carried out in 1761 and 1860."

ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit Chadkirk but never did when I was driving and now it is just too far off a reasonable bus route.
