St Mary's Chantry House is a late medieval structure located in Northumberland, England. The building dates from the fifteenth or sixteenth century and served as a chantry establishment, functioning as a residence and chapel where priests would say masses for the souls of the dead, a common practice among wealthy benefactors of the period. The surviving structure demonstrates typical characteristics of late medieval domestic architecture adapted for religious purposes. The chantry represents an important example of pre-Reformation religious patronage and the built infrastructure that supported the spiritual and commemorative practices of the medieval English laity.
