Kilve Chantry, Medieval chantry ruins in Kilve, England
The remaining stone walls of Kilve Chantry stand next to Chantry Cottage, displaying architectural elements from its 14th-century construction period.
Simon de Furneaux established this religious site in 1329, creating a brotherhood of five monks responsible for conducting regular Mass services.
The chantry served as a dedicated space where priests performed religious ceremonies and maintained spiritual practices during medieval times in Somerset.
The ruins remain accessible throughout the year, located at coordinates 51.1889, -3.22289, with nearby parking spaces available for visitors.
A fire in 1848 damaged the structure when individuals attempted to destroy evidence of contraband brandy stored within the building.
