Title: Holy Ghost ruins Basingstoke 1972 [Go to resource]
Description: The burial ground on Chapel Hill dates from the period of the Interdict, when King John and all of England was excommunicated by the Pope, and burials could not take place in consecrated ground. The excommunication was lifted in 1214. The cemetery was then consecrated and a chapel dedicated to the Holy Ghost built. The original building was greatly enlarged in 1524 by Lord Sandys of The Vyne, when he added the Chapel of the Holy Trinity to the south side of the chancel. It is the ruins of this later Perpendicular building which is the subject of this photograph. Only a relatively small section of the western end of the original chapel survives. The removal of the tombstones and monuments took place in the 1950s and 1960s.
