Full Description

"Here (Morcombelake, SY 3994) was anciently a chapel, long since ruinated. We meet with one institution to
it in the Sarum registers, Berne capella curata, John Deneis, presented by Edward Kaleway; but, being lapsed, he was collated by the Bishop, and instituted 18 July 1362". <1>

The vicar had no knowledge of this chapel, and no information concerning it was obtained during field investigation. <2>
