Dilston Chapel is a Roman Catholic chapel built in the late 17th century, constructed around 1628 and substantially rebuilt after 1753 following the aftermath of the 1715 Jacobite Rising. Located near Corbridge in Northumberland, the chapel serves as a rare surviving example of Catholic worship space from a period when such buildings were subject to considerable legal restriction and social hostility in England. The structure is a modest stone building with a simple rectangular plan, characteristic of clandestine or semi-concealed Catholic chapels of its era. The chapel remains historically significant as evidence of recusant Catholic communities in the North of England and their resilience during the penal period when Catholic practice was severely curtailed by law.
