Full description
The site of Cley Chapel is marked on old 6in map (S1).
Doubtful if a chapel, probably foundations of barn.
R. R. Clarke (NCM).
But site improbable for barn.
See (S2).
R. R. Clarke (NCM).
On (S3) as 'Chapel Ruins'.
Ordnance Survey records (S2) now say probable foundation of a barn.
R. J. Rickett (NAU), 25 May 1990.
(S4) notes a reference to Robert of Barton Bendish being 'chaplain and hermit of Cley by Blakeney Haven by the Sea'. This sounds as if it could be either Cley or Blakeney Chapels, but in (S4) it is thought to be Blakeney Chapel.
E. Rose (NAU), 6 November 1997.
