There was a chapel near Langar called St Athelburge's or St Aubrey's. (1)
In 1960 excavation of a pear shaped mound thought to be the site revealed Med wall footings and nearby burials, probably plague victims. (2)
Site also known as St Aubrey Church or Giselkirk. Excavation exposed limestone walling, pottery of c 1100 and green glaze sherds c 1300. (3)
Under the plough at above grid ref is a mound similar to that described. (4)
A non surveyable amorphous mound at above grid ref now occupies this site; max height of 0.7m and possibly natural in part, nothing was seen to confirm this as site of chapel. Tenant farmer confirmed site of excavations. (5)
