Details
This ancient Saxon chapel is the oldest church in England built by St Cedd in 654ad, it is one of the most restful and spiritual buildings in the country, a place to bring you peace and tranquillity. The old Saxon quote on the Chapel sign ‘In this place the word is revealed to you’ is certainly true.
The Chapel is situated at one end of the long distant walk ‘St Peters Way’. The Chapel is right on the coast and has stunning views a must for walkers and those keen on photography.
The Chapel is presently only open on Thursdays and Sundays for private prayer. On Thursdays there is usually a 9am Communion service, please allow 10 minutes to walk from the carpark as presently we are unable to access the chapel by car.
