Chapel Plaister /ˈtʃæpəl ˈplɑːstər/ is a hamlet in Wiltshire, England. It lies on the B3109 road between Corsham and Bradford on Avon, about 1 mile (1.6 km) southeast of the village of Box and 2.5 miles (4 km) southwest of the town of Corsham.
The settlement takes its name from a small Anglican church which was a roadside refuge for pilgrims travelling to the shrine of Joseph of Arimathea at Glastonbury.[1] Founded circa 1235 and rebuilt in 1340 by Richard Plaisted of Castle Combe, the church was used for non-religious purposes until it was restored in 1893. The building was designated as Grade I listed in 1960.[2] The adjacent Bell House, an inn from the 17th century and now a private house, may have incorporated a hostel connected with the chapel.[3]
