Full Description
40382
A manorial chapel, dedicated to St Mary Magdelene, was recorded at Poolham, a settlement which no longer exists. It was licensed in c.1220. Burials were at Edlington church (Poolham was previously in Edlington parish), but a font was permitted in 1301. A priest was serving the chapel in 1526. {1}
The remains of the chapel are located in the north-western corner of a moat, from which a Norman font was recovered (see 40381). One of the walls of the chapel survived as a few courses of limestone rubble and some eighteenth century brick until after 1971, but this had probably collapsed by 1983. There are fragments of dressed stone lying on the mound. {2}{3}{4}{5}{6}
