This chapel was erected in 1863, enlarged in 1872 and further extended with a Sunday Schoolroom in 1891.

The last service took place in July 1971 and the building, sold in 1979, now serves as a store shed.

It is located at NGR TF 366612 in West Keal parish

Although long out of use as a chapel, generally neglected and partially covered in ivy, the building has - surprisingly - retained its original doors, windows and railings.

The tall greenstone Perpendicular tower is topped by battlements and  pinnacles.  It was rebuilt in 1881 after it had collapsed. 

The 15th century porch, like the tower, has impressive gargoyles!

A fine landmark on the southern edge of the Wolds,  St Helen's dates largely from the 14th and 15th centuries, most notably the arcades inside with their interesting carved capitals.

Externally, the church has been much patched and restored. The chancel was rebuilt in limestone in 1867 by G E Street.
