West Dean, Salisbury, England

Borbach Chantry, West Dean, Salisbury, England, was built in 1333. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 5 October 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 19 January 1973.

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.

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