The ruins of a Medieval chapel dedicated to St. Thomas Becket are located within the grounds of St Petroc's Church in Bodmin, Cornwall. This chapel, now roofless and in a ruinous state, is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is also a Grade II listed building, reflecting its historical and architectural significance.
