St Mary's Chapel, Lead, Medieval church in Lead, England
The stone chapel features a rectangular structure with diagonal buttresses, a bell turret on the west gable, and two-light windows with trefoiled details.
The chapel's foundation dates to January 17, 1301, standing near the site of the 1461 Battle of Towton during the Wars of the Roses.
The five medieval inscribed floor slabs commemorate members of the Tyas family, who established the chapel for their manor house.
Located at coordinates 53.8263, -1.2963, the Grade II* listed building stands 0.75 miles west of Saxton village in North Yorkshire.
Local ramblers saved the chapel from neglect in the 1930s, leading to its nickname as the Ramblers' Church.
