There were medieval chapels in the area, one at Scottlethorpe, and others wider afield. The remains of the 12th-century chapel at Scottlethorpe survived as part of a barn at Manor Farm. However, the barn doorway might have come not from the chapel, but from Vaudey Abbey,{{PastScape|mnumber=348455|mname=Chapel at Scottlethorpe|accessdate=15 February 2011}} The doorway was moved into Edenham church in 1967.{{National Heritage List for England| num=1146587 |desc=Church of St. Michael and All Angels |grade=I |accessdate=21 July 2016}}
