Borbach Chantry, West Dean, in southeast Wiltshire, England, was built in 1333. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building,[1] and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It was declared redundant on 5 October 1971, and was vested in the trust (at that time the Redundant Churches Fund) on 19 January 1973.[3][4]
The chapel was built of flint with limestone dressings, about 1333 by Robert de Borbach as part of a fourteenth-century parish church, but is all that remains. When the church was demolished in 1868 the arcade which connected the chapel to the church was walled up and a new south porch added.[1]
The chapel contains a series of monuments, including those to the parliamentarian John Evelyn who died in 1684 and his family.[2][5] Other memorials are to the Pierrepont family who inherited from him the adjacent manor house, which has since been demolished.[6]
