From the Wikipedia article
Erringham chapel is a former place of worship in the deserted medieval village of Old Erringham, north of Shoreham-by-Sea in the district of Adur, one of seven local government districts in the English county of West Sussex.

English Heritage has listed the remaining structure at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
