St Martin, Preston
Minsden Chapel
The ruined, since the late 17th century, medieval chapel of a lost village only accessible by foot in a copse in the middle of large arable fields. The last time I went there was a stile onto this private land but now (Sept 2020) it’s just a broken fence into a nettle ridden copse. R.L. Hine was a noted writer on local history and natural history prior to the second world war.
