Churches
East Hanney had a chapel by 1288, dedicated to Saint James, but Alice Yate is said to have dissolved it after she took over the manor in 1546.[1] The present Church of England parish church of Saint James the Less[1] was designed by the Gothic Revival architect George Edmund Street in a 13th century English style and built in 1856.[2] It has since been made redundant and converted into a private home. Hanney Chapel is Non-conformist and was built in 1862.[3] It was closed after the First World War but reopened in 1943.[3]
