Domestic chapel at Horne's Place

The chapel measures 8 meters by 4 meters with Kentish ragstone walls, featuring double cinquefoil windows and a tiled roof from 1520.

Built in 1366 for William Horne, the chapel survived an attack during the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 when raiders stole goods worth 10 pounds.

The chapel received a license for divine services from Archbishop Simon Langham, reflecting the elevated social status of the Horne family.

Located north of Appledore on Kenardington Road, visitors can access the chapel through a narrow brick path leading to the entrance.

The chapel contains a vaulted undercroft with stone corbels decorated with Catherine wheels and houses a medieval well beneath its floor.
