The Carmelite Chapel on the outskirts of Presteigne was likely built in the 13th or 14th century by the Carmelite Order, a mendicant religious group active in medieval England. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, it reflects the spread of the Carmelite faith in rural areas and is significant as a rare surviving example of a small monastic chapel in the region.
