Heath Chapel
Heath Chapel
The perfect Norman chapel, standing all alone in rough pasture. Repaired in 1912, but never 'restored' this is a priceless gem of a building, a Scheduled Ancient Monument with just 27 souls scattered around to look after it. I met 2 of them on my visit and they told me that they face a large repair bill for roof repairs but are determined to raise it.
