Malinslee Chapel was originally erected within the grounds of Malinslee Hall around the year 1150.[2] The chapel had became a ruin by the 18th century, probably before 1786, when Rev Williams produced a painting of the ruins. When Malinslee Hall was demolished in 1971 to make way for the new Telford Town Centre, the chapel was dismantled by the Telford Development Corporation and later re-assembled in the nearby Telford Town Park by the Withy Pool.[1]
