About this image
In a beautiful rural setting near Rainow, surrounded by a belt of trees on an otherwise bare hillside, St John the Baptist (Jenkin) Chapel was built in 1733 by local farmers. Within the simple cottage-type building are the original box pews, and high, octagonal pulpit. The unspoilt nature of the building and its setting made this a perfect location for the filming of the BBCÆs recent production of Jane Eyre and it is a very popular destination for walkers in this lovely countryside.
