Notes
  • Significance: The Compton Bassett Chapel is a rare intact example of an 18th-century private Catholic chapel building. Maryland had a fairly large Catholic population with a long history of persecution. Thus, unable to gather publicly for worship, they constructed private family chapels. As the early Catholic settlers migrated north into Prince George's County they brought this tradition with them. The legacy of small private family chapels continued after persecution had ended, and chapels such as these served as chapels of ease for the isolated plantations. The Compton Bassett chapel, which includes a sleeping chamber above for the visiting priest, is probably the only extant separate building of its type in Prince George's County.
