St James' Church, Murton

When the roof was badly damaged in a storm, in 1834, it was not repaired, and the chapel became a ruin.

[3] By the early 20th century, the south and west walls remained at almost their full height, including the original south door, and two small windows which had been repaired in brick.

In 1914, the chapel was restored, with the north and east walls rebuilt, with a new window each, a new tiled roof added, topped by a bellcote, and a lean-to hut added at the west end.

It was found in the churchyard of St Thomas in Osbaldwick and believed to date from the 12th century.

In 2016, a small brick-built extension was added, providing a welcome lobby, toilet, and kitchen.
