Borbach Chantry, West Dean, Salisbury, England was built in 1333. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building,[1] and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It was declared redundant on 5 October 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 19 January 1973.[3]

The chapel was built of flint with limestone dressings, about 1333 by Robert de Borbach as part of a fourteenth century parish church, but is all that remains. When the church was demolished in 1868 the arcade which connected the chapel to the church was walled up and a new south porch added.[1]

The chapel contains a series of monuments, including those to the parliamentarian John Evelyn who died in 1684 and his family.[4][2] Other memorials are to the Pierrepont family who inherited the adjacent manor house from him, which has since been demolished.[5]
