Background
History
The earliest record of a chapel in Blackmoor comes from a tithe return of 1254, which states that the parish of Selborne was owed returns from chapels in both Blackmoor and neighbouring Oakhanger. In 1291, a tax return for the ecclesia de Seleburne cum capella covered the Blackmoor chapel, and the prior and convent of Selborne were said to be "the impropriators of the parish church of Seleborne with the chapels of Oakhanger and Blakemere [sic]" in a 1352 vicarial portion. A century later, repairs to the Blackmoor chapel were paid for by the prior and convent of Selborne in 1462.
