Location of Borbach Chantry in Wiltshire

The chapel was built of flint with limestone dressings, about 1333 by Robert de Borbach as part of a fourteenth-century parish church, but is all that remains. When the church was demolished in 1868 the arcade which connected the chapel to the church was walled up and a new south porch added.[1]

The chapel contains a series of monuments, including those to the parliamentarian John Evelyn who died in 1684 and his family.[2][4] Other memorials are to the Pierrepont family who inherited the adjacent manor house from him, which has since been demolished.[5]
