Shingay

Shingay is a hamlet and former civil parish, now in the parish of Shingay cum Wendy, in the South Cambridgeshire district, in the county of Cambridgeshire, England around 5 miles north west of Royston.[3][4] It is believed that the medieval village lay just to the east of the preceptory on the road towards Wendy.[3] The former parish church was dedicated to St Mary and possibly built at the same time as the preceptory.The medieval church was demolished in the late 17th century and in 1697 a new chapel, consisting of just a single room of two bays and west bell turret, was built by the Earl of Orford who had just obtained the manor.The chapel fell into disuse in the 18th century and the final trace of the building was removed by 1836.
