The Medieval chapel of St Thomas Becket is a ruined stone structure located 45 metres east of the parish church on Priory Road in Bodmin, Cornwall. The chapel forms part of the wider monastic complex associated with Bodmin Priory, a Benedictine foundation of considerable importance in medieval Cornwall. Dating from the medieval period, the chapel reflects the devotional practices of the priory community and the veneration of St Thomas Becket that was widespread throughout England following his canonisation in 1173. The surviving remains indicate a modest stone-built structure, typical of subsidiary chapels within larger monastic establishments of the later medieval period.
