Description
Site of guild chapel, no exact provenance. <1> <2>
There are documentary references for a guild chapel of the Holy Trinity Guild in Manningtree. This building is an alternative contender for the chapel which was demolished in the beginning of the seventeenth century and recorded by Morant in 1768. It has been suggested by Mrs Jacques, Manningtree Loal History Society that this chapel was sited under what is now the Methodist Chapel, there is a post-medieval reference in deeds that this land was presented to the Methodists, at which point it already had the ruins of an old chapel on it and was known as Chapel Yard. The Guild Chapel would have been closed by the Reformation. Alternatively this site maybe the medieval St Michael and All Angels Chapel. <3> <4>
