Chapel whose dedication to Katherine is first attested in 1644, by which time the church was derelict. It has subsequently been known as dedicated to Thomas Becket.

The building survived in ruins into the late nineteenth century, by which time it had been replaced by a new church nearby to the north-west, which retained Katherine in its dedication. The chapel was restored in 1930⁠–1, retaining medieval fabric with a nave and chancel, and is located on private property.
