Chesterfield was once one of its hamlets; now it is almost swallowed up by it.
In a field behind an inn is a Roman Catholic chapel about 36 feet long and half as wide. It rang with praise and prayer in Norman England, but it was a barn after it ceased to be a church in the 17th century. Through all its adventures it has kept the little priest’s doorway the Normans built, with stone carving over it worn away by centuries of wind and rain. There is Norman masonry in its walls, and the windows and the south doorway are of the 15th century.
