Northeye Chapel

This drawing is, I'm afraid to say, not clear as to what is shown and blowing it up larger doesn't help at all. I understand that there are no visable remains of the chapel on the site to-day (that is, assuming that anyone could find the site in the first place!) otherwise it might be worth a visit just to see if the drawing became clearer. My grandfather was, obviously, concerned at the state of the old ruin when he saw it in 1899 (see the newspaper cutting below). The cutting is from the old "Bexhill Observer" and reads as follws: -

Northeye Chapel
To the Editor

Dear Sir, - I was disappointed the other day
when I found the ruin of Northeye Chapel in
such an out-of-the-way and neglected spot.
Cannot something be done to preserve this
historical ruin?

Yours Truly,

John Jas Newport
Hooe, June 21st., 1899
Northeye Chapel
