Full Description

62466 Tradition gathered by the late Mrs E.H.Rudkin, places the church west of the main road, beneath the present Dunsby House (converted from the last pair of cottages); if the cottages were post-1842 (they were probably erected by the Bristol Estate in the second half of the nineteenth century), this would explain the lack of either earthworks or of a ploughed-out building stone that might have come from a church. It was demolished by Robert Carre, who bought the manor after the Dissolution. {1} A chapel, subordinate to All Saints Church, Brauncewell, is menitoned in a 1352 tithe, standing in a plot called Chapel Wong. It is thought to have stood on the roadside near the manor house, and is probably the same building. {2} Aerial photographs taken of the area in 1998 show an east-west aligned rectangular cropmark, also identified during the NMP project. It appears to be the remains of a building, and it has also been interpreted as the chapel of St Andrew (see also 62466). {4}{5}
