About

Odda's Chapel is a former chantry chapel at Deerhurst, Gloucestershire. It is an 11th-century late Anglo-Saxon building, completed a decade before the Norman Conquest of England. In the 16th century the chapel ceased to be used for worship and by the 17th century it was part of a farmhouse.

It was rediscovered and restored late in the 19th century, and further restored in the 20th century. It is now managed by English Heritage. The chapel is the smaller of two Anglo-Saxon places of worship in Deerhurst.

The larger and older is St Mary's Priory Church. Both buildings were part of a Benedictine priory, whose site is now a scheduled monument.
