Bathgate’s Chapel Well

This Bathgate Chapel was a small, thatched, stone building in Marjoriebank Street, erected about the time of the Reformation as a Roman Catholic chapel.

It was still standing, inhabited by an old woman, within living memory, and local informants could also recollect the projections in the wall which used to support the altar and the font. 

The site of the chapel itself is now built upon.

What remains in Marjoriebank Street today is the Chapel well. This was originally described as a fine spring well, called “Chapel Well”, at the S end of the chapel building.
