Summary edit

Description
English: The Old Chapel, Creslow. This chapel is marked on the map and edged in black suggesting it is a public building, but it looks to me as though it has been incorporated into the adjoining building. The only signs were ones informing that there was no right of way for the public - so at best it probably has a very small congregation !

Edit: According to the English Heritage Viewfinder website "The former parish church, which ceased being used in the 18th century, was first a dovecot and is now used as an outbuilding of the Manor House. " ( See http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.uk/search/reference.asp?index=385&imageUID=51561&main_query=&theme=&period=&county=&district=&place_name=Ham )

However the BHO website (see http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42572&strquery=Parish%20Creslow#s3 ) itself quoting the "History of the County of Buckingham" suggests that it had not been used as a church since the time of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). A list of the rectors (see http://met.open.ac.uk/genuki/big/eng/BKM/Creslow/rectors.html ) finishes with the appointment of Thomas Davis A.M. in 1554 - which serves to confirm this earlier date.
This is a photo of listed building number 1034375.
