duced to the state of a chapelry to Bat-
ley soon after the conquest, and so to
have continued till the time of the Com-
monwealth, when the present building
was leased out by Savile, Earl of Sus-
sex, to certain presbyterian trustees,
and since that time it has been used as
a place of worship by dissenters : this
chapel is said to be the only instance,
throughout England and Wales, of an
ancient place of worship which was not
given back to the establishment at the
restoration: it retains much of the
form of a church, and has a choir and
two side aisles, supported upon wooden
pasterns instead of columns.
