Morpeth Chantry, Medieval church building in Morpeth, England.
The stone structure stands near the River Wansbeck crossing, featuring architectural elements from the late 13th century with robust walls and period windows.
Built in 1296 as a chapel and toll house, the building served as King Edward VI School from 1552 until 1846 following its deconsecration.
The building now houses the Northern Poetry Library, Northumbria Craft Centre, and Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum, displaying regional artistic traditions.
Visitors can access the Grade I listed building through the town center, where free disc parking spaces are available throughout the day.
The structure remains one of the few buildings in England that transitioned from a religious toll house to an educational institution and later a cultural center.
