Description: | MOATED SITE OF A 14TH CENTURY CHAPEL AT TEALBY, KNOWN AS ST THOMAS ON THE MOOR in 1638. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}, HTM 35M
The scheduling includes a medieval moated site located at Chapel Hill, believed to be the site of a 14th century hermitage. In 1336 Edward III gave protection for one year for Roger de Staunford and Richard de Burle, hermits of the chapel of St Thomas of Tealby, and their attorneys to collect alms. The chapel is referred to in a document of 1638, but by the end of the following century no buildings remained standing.
The earthwork remains include a rectangular island enclosed by a moat. On the northern part of the island is a roughly square raised platform which is believed to be the location of former buildings including a chapel and domestic accommodation. Further buildings appear to have been located in the south western part of the island. {7} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1336 - 1638 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
