In 1549 Leland wrote that 'on the north side of the first bridge' there 'was a chapelle now prophand [profaned]. Polwhele recorded that in the 18th century the former chapel was occupied by a blacksmith and according to Dean Milles it was swept away in a flood on 12th October 1752. The chapel is believed to be located within what is now the garden of the mill. Alternatively, however, it may have been located on the site of the Weslyan Chapel.
