Monksthorpe Chapel walk

Monksthorpe Chapel was built in 1701 and has a rare open air baptistry. Built in a time when those who believed in the full immersion of believers risked persecution and even imprisonment, this unique secluded chapel was built to look like a barn in order to avoid being discovered. The key is available daily between February and October from Gunby Hall & Gardens for a suggested donation of £5.
