St Mary's Chapel, Bulverhythe is a ruined medieval chapel located on the coast near Hastings in Sussex. The chapel dates from the medieval period and represents one of the few surviving examples of a seaside place of worship from that era. The remains, now fragmentary, comprise stone foundations and walls that attest to its former function as a focal point for the local community and possibly for mariners. The site's location near the sea, combined with its isolation from larger ecclesiastical centres, suggests it served both parochial and potentially devotional purposes connected to maritime activity.
