A chapel of the Park at Lexden was extant in 1201 and 1237. On the north side of St Leonards Church stands a little aisle or chapel, aligned N to S. The remains of this chapel are visible on the north side of St Leonards church.<1><2>
Morant states that the medieval church which stood immediately north of the present church in the same churchyard comprised a nave, chancel and north `aisle or chapel' which was set at right angles to the main axis - presumably therefore a transept (confirmed by a watercolour).<3>
The chapel of the Park is mentioned in confirmations to Colchester Abbey by Pope Innocent in 1201 and Roger, Bishop of London in 1237.<4> Other ref.<5><6> have vaults below.
Rodwell (1977) records, archaeologically there can be little left to find.<3>
