Croxdale medieval chapel is a fourteenth-century religious structure located in County Durham, England. The site comprises the remains of the chapel itself alongside a medieval churchyard cross base, both of which represent important evidence of local devotional practice and community organisation during the later medieval period. The cross base, a characteristic feature of medieval churchyards, would have served as a focal point for gatherings and processions. The chapel's survival, albeit fragmentary, contributes to understanding the distribution and function of secondary religious buildings in the Durham region during the medieval centuries.
