A chapel and priest's house at Bewerley are scheduled ancient

Tudor House, is of late 16th/early 17th century date. (2-3)
The chapel has now been renovated, and is used as a private
residence known as Bewerley Grange (a)
See G.P AO63/217/5 for N.W. aspect.

condition, but is of little architectural merit.

The chapel was restored in 1965 and reconsecrated as a chapel

either built or restored by Abbot Huby (1494-1526) of Fountains,
whose initials are to be seen in 3 places on the exterior wall. (5)
