The Hanging Chapel, Medieval church building in Langport, England
The Hanging Chapel features a 13th-century archway with a pointed barrel vault and stands above what was once the east gate of the town.
Built in 1201, this Grade I listed building originated as a religious structure and later served as a town hall during the late 16th century.
The building transformed through centuries, functioning as a grammar school, Sunday school, natural history museum, and currently operates as a masonic lodge.
Located in central Langport, the chapel requires ongoing maintenance due to occasional damage from vehicles passing through its historic archway.
The structure incorporates remnants of an ancient Saxon defensive bank discovered during archaeological excavations conducted in the 1990s.
