(SP 993164) A chapel-of-ease, dedicated to All Saints or All Hallows, once existed at Dagnall. It was originally designed for public worship, but c 1322 a chantry was added. The chantry was suppressed in 1549. There was also some land and a messuage called the Manse or Priest's House belonging to the foundation. It is not known
when this chapel was demolished, no remains having existed for many years, and the site is not exactly known although its vicinity is indicated by place-names 'Chapel Dell', 'Chapel Lane' and 'Chapel Wick'. 'Chapel Dell', which appears to be the remains of an ancient moat, and 'Chapel Lane' form the boundary on two sides of a small croft now occupied by a cottage and an orchard. This croft which contains some inequalities of ground - possibly building foundations - is taken to be the site of the chapel and chapel-yard. Its opposite sides are bounded by a carriage road and an open space which may have been a small village green. About 20 yards on the other side of the croft is 'Chapel Wick' ( c 5-6 acres) used as allotment gardens and probably the land referred to as belonging to the chapel at the time of its suppression (B2).
