 It was in use as a Chapel of Ease to St Oswalds, Elvet, until the new parish church of St Bartholomew was built by the Salvins in 1845.The chapel is on English Heritage's Buildings At Risk register and is deemed to be in poor condition, particularly due to severe damp.Also in the grounds is an 18th-century house (Grade II* listed) which housed the priests who served as Chaplains to the Salvin family.
