1056 11th Chantry Chapel Chapels Concealed Deerhurst Gloucestershire Odda Saxon
EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled within the heart of Deerhurst, Gloucestershire, England, lies a hidden gem of historical significance - Oddas Chapel. Dating back to the late 11th century, this ancient structure was built by Odda, a local nobleman, in 1056. The chapel is a rare survivor of the late Saxon period and serves as a testament to the rich history of this region. The 16th century house that conceals Oddas Chapel adds an intriguing layer to its history. The chapel was incorporated into the house during the Tudor period, providing a unique blend of architectural styles. The house and chapel are now intertwined, creating a fascinating juxtaposition of old and new. Oddas Chapel is a chantry chapel, which means it was established for the continuous chanting of prayers for the soul of the founder and his family. The chapel's simple yet elegant design reflects the religious devotion of the time. The walls are adorned with intricate carvings and the windows let in soft, natural light, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Despite its small size, Oddas Chapel holds great historical importance. It is a reminder of the past, a link to the early Christian history of England, and a testament to the enduring spirit of the people who built it. Visitors to Deerhurst can still admire this beautiful and historic chapel, hidden away in a 16th century house, and imagine the stories it could tell if only it could speak.
