Chapel of Our Lady of the Crag

The sandstone Chapel of Our Lady of the Crag, near Low Bridge in the historic North Yorkshire town of Knaresborough, is a Grade II listed building dating to the medieval era.

The Chapel is cut into the rocky crags overlooking the river Nidd, and was constructed in 1408 by one John the Mason, probably as an oratory or prayer room. The date is attested by a Royal Charter from that time. John the Mason probably worked to obtain stone for Knaresborough Castle from the nearby quarry. He was, in all likelihood, a master mason with several workers in his employ.
