Why it's Wildland
2.4A small ruined chapel with a short, documented story: it was commissioned by brewery owner Henry Boddington around 1890. The surviving remains are limited to the bottom two courses of stone.
This is a modest heritage stop rather than a substantial day-out destination. Its appeal lies in the unusual survival of a chapel ruin and its connection to Henry Boddington, but the evidence available describes little remaining fabric and does not confirm visitor access.
