Dilston Chapel is a Roman Catholic chapel located in Dilston, near Corbridge in Northumberland, dating to the early seventeenth century. Built in the 1620s, it represents an important survival of recusant Catholic worship during a period when such religious practice faced considerable legal restriction in England. The chapel is a modest stone structure that reflects the discreet, private nature of Catholic devotion among the gentry during the post-Reformation period. Its existence and preservation testify to the resilience of Catholicism in the North of England despite the Protestant settlement and the penal laws affecting recusants.
