Monksthorpe Chapel

Monksthorpe Chapel

Remote late 17th-century Baptist chapel at Gunby Hall Estate

Built in a time of dissent and persecution, this unique secluded chapel was designed to look like a farmyard barn in order to avoid being discovered. Built in 1701 and refurbished in 1840, the chapel has a modest interior and a rare open air baptistry in its grounds.

If you would like to explore the interior of Monksthorpe Chapel, you can collect the key from the tea-room at Gunby Hall and Gardens from February till October daily from 11am. You will need to pay a £20 fully refundable cash deposit. Please return the key before 4.30pm. Contact Gunby Hall and Gardens on 01754 890102 for more information.

The exterior of Monksthorpe Chapel and its grounds can be visited without prior arrangement and are accessible every day throughout the year.
