Gunby Hall Estate Monksthorpe Chapel (NT)
Recommended by
Overview
Built in a time of dissent and persecution, this unique secluded chapel was designed to look like a farmyard barn in order to avoid being discovered. Built in 1701 and refurbished in 1840, it has a modest interior and a rare open air baptistry in its grounds. If you would like to explore the interior of Monksthorpe Chapel, you can collect the key from the tea-room at Gunby Hall and Gardens from February till October daily from 11am. You will need to pay a £20 fully refundable cash deposit. Please return the key before 4.30pm. Contact Gunby Hall and Gardens on 01754 890102 for more information. The exterior of Monksthorpe Chapel and its grounds can be visited without prior arrangement and are accessible every day throughout the year.
About the area
Much of the fenland around the Wash has been drained of its marshes and reclaimed as highly productive farmland. Further north, the coastline, with its sandy beaches, has been developed to accommodate the holiday industry, with caravans, campsites and the usual seaside paraphernalia.
