More about this scene
This 14th-century chapel was built on the bridge as a memorial to Richard, Duke of York, who was killed at Wakefield. It was hoped that travellers crossing into the town would benefit from simple prayer. The building was renovated in 1848, but within forty years smoke and pollution had again damaged the pinnacles. The old chapel front was purchased during renovation and can still be found sited by the lake at Kettlethorpe Hall.
