Talk:Bickleigh Castle

chapel
The sanctuary of the chapel pre-dates the Normans. The first documentary evidence of this building is circa AD600 probably before the Saxons arrived circa AD 660, with further documentary reference to it being a chapel circa AD800s. The Sanctuary is the oldest part no doubt altered during that time. There is archeological evidence of a wall at the west end of the Sanctuary with an arch, dividing it from the then nave. This was demolished when the nave was enlarged and replaced with a wooden Rood Screen.Croidan2 (talk) 16:56, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
