Thornton-le-Beans Chapel is in the village of Thornton-le-Beans, North Yorkshire, England. It is a redundant Anglican chapel of ease. The chapel is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1] Since 2010 it has been under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.[2]
The chapel was built in 1770,[3] as a chapel of ease to St Andrew's Church, South Otterington, in the deanery of Mowbray, the archdeaconry of Cleveland, and the diocese of York.[4] The font was donated by Dr Edward Pusey. The chapel was restored in 1886.[3] It was declared redundant on 1 June 1997,[5] and vested in the Friends of Friendless Churches in 2010.[2]
