Odda's Chapel

Odda’s Chapel is a surviving Saxon church, built by Earl Odda for the benefit of the soul of his brother Aelfric, who died on 22 December 1053. It was consecrated by Bishop Ealdred: an inscription dates the dedication to 12 April 1056. It was being used as a farmhouse, when in 1865 its historic significance was realised.

It is located at Deerhurst, Gloucestershire and maintained by English Heritage.
