- West Dean, Wiltshire (Borbach Chantry)
Striking memorials grace this fascinating rural chapel – which is all that remains of a 14th-century church.
The earliest, a wall memorial from the 1620s, shows a kneeling John Evelyn I and his wife wearing grand Stuart fashions, with their 11 children in a line below.
Perhaps the most imposing memorial is Robert Pierrepoint’s – an angel supports his life-sized marble figure.
The chapel stands alone in excellent walking country – a great place to take a break.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
There is a rough grassy path from the parking area in front of the Hall to the chapel and a small step at the entrance.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
