A TINY chapel on the fringes of the North York Moors is one of 42 historic places in Yorkshire given extra protections by Historic England.
The Engleby Chapel of Rest at Brompton by Sawdon has been added to the National Heritage List for England in 2019.
The chapel was built in 1889 to serve the rural community at Brompton-by-Sawdon, between Malton and Scarborough, and is an important early work by English architect Temple Lushington Moore, who went on to become one of the country's leading church architects of the Edwardian period.
Trevor Mitchell, regional director of Historic England in Yorkshire and the North-East, said: “A fascinating range of historic buildings and sites are added to the List each year, and 2019 is no exception.
"We are celebrating the special historic places which surround us, so that they can be valued and cared for.
"There are more than 400,000 sites on the National Heritage List for England, giving protection to our most valued prehistoric and historic places. Our heritage is a shared delight, which we should look after and enjoy, now and for the future”.
Despite its small size, the Chapel of Rest displays a number of features that are characteristic of Moore’s designs.
