9th - Ancient

Deerhurst, Glos. view map

Odda's Chapel in Deerhurst, just a hundred yards from the Severn. The chapel was built in 1056, so it's almost 1000 years old. On the wall behind me is the dedication stone, whose inscription reads:


"Earl Odda ordered this royal hall to be built and dedicated in honour of the Holy Trinity for the soul of his brother Ælfric, taken up from this place. Ealdred was the bishop who dedicated the building on the second day before Ides of April in the fourteenth year of the reign of Edward, king of the English"

Amazing. Possibly a Saxon arch between the two rooms?
