Standlynch - Lord Nelson’s Abandoned Family Chapel

A lovely walk from the Church Of Charlton-All-Saints along the River Avon and on to Standlynch Chapel in the grounds of Trafalgar Park in the village of Downton in Wiltshire. Formerly a Medieval Church and rebuilt in 1677.
Standlynch Chapel is the final resting place for members of Lord Nelson’s family. There are seven graves in the graveyard and tombs inside the chapel.
Sadly it’s now padlocked and boarded up but people still smash their way into this historic building. If you want to take a look inside there are videos here on TH-cam.

Keep it safe make sure it doesn’t get turned into a mosque like all our beautiful churches in England

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

Amazing one to put on my list 👍👍

Thanks James, such a lovely walk up to the Chapel. Just a shame people have smashed windows to try and get in

[@jameswalksinhistory3848]

@@newforestexplorer Yes very bad I think you will find a video somewhere on YT of someone in there-I seem to remember one

[@newforestexplorer]

@@jameswalksinhistory3848 Yes I know someone who went here a year or two ago and filmed inside

I walked there a couple of years ago, what a beautiful location! I missed the chapel though. Shame it's closed. 👍🏻😁

[@newforestexplorer]

Yes and a real shame the stained glass windows have been smashed. It’s a lovely walk for sure

[@SamWalksALot]

@newforestexplorer for a moment there I thought you'd attempt to jump inside 😅😂
Lovely video

[@newforestexplorer]

@@SamWalksALot I could have , but I’m a good boy these days 😅 I’ve seen inside , a friend went there a year or two ago and filmed inside

I love brick construction, we don't have much of that in Florida, too bad. It's a beautiful property.

lovely video loads of ASMR that could have been pulled out of it giving it more uses. maybe you could try next time thanks for your contribution

[@newforestexplorer]

Thanks very much! Yes several people have mentioned I should at least tag some of my videos with ASMR. It’s difficult with the iPhone microphone sometimes as it really pics up wind noise and spoils everything

[@ginaapple123]

@@newforestexplorer the ones i have watched who do it have a separate audio/camera that drops down to foot level. i want to try doing some of my own but will have to buy an audio lead and I don't know how much they are. if you put hazel ASMR into your search bar there is a girl that does it and accompanies it with historic data like you anyway good luck hope to see more of yours soon

[@newforestexplorer]

@@ginaapple123 Thank you , I’ll take a look at her channel . I’m sure the lead would be less than a tenner

I can understand a tourist coming upon this. But you live there.

[@newforestexplorer]

I don’t understand your comment ?
