Longworth Chapel is a late medieval chapel that was originally located at Longworth Manor House, about a mile from its current location. After centuries of decline and agricultural uses, in the mid 19th century, with the building of the convent by EW Pugin, the chapel was moved stone by stone to its present location.

This small but atmospheric building is a remarkable Victorian re-interpretation of a medieval chapel and retains many 14th century features.

Its relocation to Bartestree was part of the revival of Roman Catholicism in Herefordshire.
