Wykeham Chapel Standing alone just south of Spalding Marsh, this was built in 1311 by Prior Clement Hatfield to be the private chapel of his country residence. The line of the rectangular moat survives, part of it still filled with water. Clement of Hatfield was Lord Prior of the Benedictine Priory in Spalding from 1292 to 1318. The ruin is tucked away behind Wykeham Farm. View from the field to the east of Marsh Road.
