St Nicholas Chapel and deserted medieval village, Westbury is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the fragmentary remains of a medieval settlement and its associated chapel in Hampshire. The chapel, dedicated to St Nicholas, represents the spiritual centre of this now-abandoned community, which was inhabited during the medieval period before desertion, likely in the post-medieval centuries. The site preserves archaeological evidence of domestic settlement patterns and religious provision characteristic of rural medieval England. The physical remains, visible as earthworks and surface finds, contribute to understanding of medieval village organisation and the processes of settlement abandonment that affected many English communities.
