Harrison (1920) reports "fragments of a church" of the Transitional period here. This must be the same as the ones noted in the English Heritage entry [No. 1353218] [http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1353218] [accessed 14 December 2012]: "Ruin of St Mary's Chapel TQ 70 NE 4/230 19.1.51.

Attached is a tablet saying that the nave and western tower have been entirely destroyd. The walls incorporate carved stones from the earlier Norman Church of the same site." [NB: we have no information on the font of the disappeared church here].
