| Summary : A preceptory of the Knights Hospitallers, founded before 1171 at Godsfield, but moved to Baddesley before 1355, after which a chaplain and probably a bailiff were maintained at Godsfield. On the site of the preceptory is a chapel of c. 1360-70 with living rooms at the west. To the North-West of the chapel the broken lines of the ground suggest ruined buildings beneath the surface. Extant remains of chapel, sometime cottage, now a store, dated late 14th century. Rendered rubble flint with stone dressings and a tiled roof. |

Godsfield - a suspected depopulated village. (5)
The chapel is in good condition and is now a store after
conversion to a pair of cottages between 1918 and 1940 when some
of the features were blocked.
To the N.E., in the present garden, is uneven ground and a
considerable scatter of flint, chalk and tile almost certainly
the site of a building.
No evidence of depopulation was seen on the ground or on A.P's. (6)
