TL6617 : Blackchapel: chapel and priest's house

taken 9 years ago, near to North End, Essex, England

Blackchapel: chapel and priest's house
Blackchapel: chapel and priest's house
Of the three 'boxes', the nearest is the chapel's chancel, the longest is the nave, and the furthest is the priest's house.

In the Essex volume of 'The Buildings of England', Pevsner has this to say: 'The rare case of a surviving entirely timber-framed ecclesiastical building, and also the rare case of a medieval chapel with attached priest's house'.

A structural detail that can be seen in this shot is that while the walls of the priest's house are upright, the chapel is narrower at the eaves than at ground level - the walls lean inwards (in technical terms they are 'battered'). The east wall, too, shows a batter.
