Monksthorpe
Baptist Chapel (owned
by the National Trust) - one of the first Baptist chapels in the country.
The present chapel at Monksthorpe was built in 1701. It stands in two
acres of grounds, entirely surrounded by a good variety of trees. It was
built like a barn with a thatched roof, so that it would not easily be
recognised as a chapel. The thatched roof has long since gone, and the
roof is now tiled. More
