"The chapel itself was added to the Nave in the 14th Century. Because this Century was one of 'economic recession' it is certain that the whole structure dates from the early 1300s. It is also most probable that it was originally built as a Chantry chapel, and that it would have seen young clergymen paid to 'chant' prayers to preserve the richer inhabitants from the appalling plagues that swept the country from 1349 onwards, (later called The Black Death). Grafuam suffered as badly as any village and the Rector in those terrible days, John Aubrey, died without record being kept."
