It was formerly a possession of St Owen's Church, Gloucester.In 1455-1456, during the era of John Hayward (Prior of Llanthony Secunda Priory 1457-1466) it was recorded, in Latin, that Llanthony Secunda Priory had existed for 319 years and the chapel of St. Kyneburgh had existed for 919 years. which might suggest a likely date for the chapel of between AD500 - AD550.
