Description:A detail of external walls of the Spital Chapel, Wigginton Road, Tamworth. It is said that Spital Chapel was built by Henry III as the Hospital of St. James, for the benefit of the Premonstratensian Order. The chapel closed in the Reformation, becoming a barn and then a cottage and it gradually fell into disrepair until it was rescued by Lichfield Diocese and restored in 1914.
