Overview

History & significance

Trinity Chapel is a ruined medieval chapel located in Derbyshire. The surviving remains comprise fragmentary masonry indicative of a small religious structure of medieval date. The chapel represents evidence of the dispersed religious infrastructure that characterised the English countryside during the medieval period, when such independent chapels served local communities beyond the parish church network. Its present ruinous condition reflects the abandonment and decay typical of many minor ecclesiastical buildings following the Reformation.
