SP5305 : Bartlemas hamlet

taken 6 years ago, near to Oxford, Oxfordshire, England

Bartlemas hamlet
Bartlemas hamlet
Bartlemas is an astonishing survival: a former leper hospital (ahead), farmhouse (left) and mediaeval chapel (unseen, right) up a dead-end lane off Cowley Road just beyond the shops. Since I first found it twenty years ago, Oriel College, the landowner, has put up a notice "strictly forbidding" unauthorised entry, though I don't know how likely a challenge is; another notice at the chapel says it is open for an hour from noon on Wednesdays. It was advertised as open for the Open Doors weekend but closed early as another notice on the chapel door spelled out; I believe it is sometimes a venue for exhibitions during the Oxfordshire Artweeks event in May.
