Heath Chapel


The small Norman chapel is located in an isolated position in a field in the former civil parish of Heath.
It was built in the middle of the 12th century. The roof of the nave was renewed in the 16th or 17th century. At about this time the walls were whitewashed, covering the medieval wall paintings, and texts were painted on the walls which were later also covered in whitewash. In 1912 the chancel ceiling was removed and a new roof built. At the same time some of the medieval wall paintings were exposed.
Most of the seven-hundred-year-old murals are still waiting to be uncovered and conserved, which is why visitors are asked not to touch the walls.
