Trinity Chapel

The ruins of 16th Century Trinity Chapel, sits roofless and alone, largely hidden from view by the chestnut trees around it. A church was recorded on the site in the Domesday survey of 1086. The present Chapel is believed to have been a complete rebuild from the early 1500s and was the main place of worship for the village. It had the rights of baptism and marriage, but not of burial,
Even in 17th century the location of the chapel was considered inconvenient and there were calls for a new church nearer the centre of the village. However, this did not happen for another two hundred years, until Gladwin Turbutt, the last Victorian squire in Derbyshire, donated the site for a new parish church. The chapel was finally abandoned in 1857, following the consecration of Holy Trinity Church, Brackenfield. Grade II listed Trinity Chapel is currently on Historic England's "at risk" register.
