The chapel, dedicated to St. Mary, was erected in 1699,at the expense of four gentlemen, who endowed it with certain estates vested in their respective heirs and the trustees of the free school; it was rebuilt in 1842, and is now a handsome edifice in the pointed style, with a tower 82 feet high, the whole erected at a cost of £3000,defrayed by subscription, aided by a grant from the Church Building Society.
