Wykeham Chapel is a medieval monastic grange and retreat house situated within a moated enclosure in Lincolnshire. The site dates to the medieval period and represents the type of secondary monastic establishment used for agricultural management and spiritual retreat away from the main religious community. The moated earthwork survives as a significant physical indicator of the site's medieval layout and defensive character, whilst the chapel itself testifies to the religious function of the grange. Such establishments were characteristic features of the monastic landscape in medieval England, serving both practical and devotional purposes for the religious houses that controlled them.
