Full Description
This area is reportedly the location of an 11th century chapel which was later used as a Guildhall and then subsequently used as a Quaker Meeting House. The site is named Quakers Yard which does lend support to the potential for a Quaker Meeting House to have existed here previously. The Tithe map does show a small structure in this area which is no longer extant and does not appear on the 1st edition OS map, it's function is not clearly stated on the map. There is potential that the chapel and/or Quaker Meeting House could have been associated with a burial ground. (S1)
