Full Description
An etching dating from around 1670 by Henry Bell of St Nicholas' Chapel shows a timber-framed building with later inserted chimneys, on the plot currently occupied by 78 Chapel Street (NHER 47042) and 80 Chapel Street (NHER 46946). This timber-framed building is likely to date from the 15th or 16th centuries. Both 78 and 80 Chapel Street are thought to date from the late 18th century so it might reasonably be assumed that this is when the timber-framed building depicted in Bell's etching was demolished.
Documentary evidence indicates that the building at this location was owned by St Nicholas' Chapel from the 17th to 19th centuries, and it can be conjectured that this may reflect medieval ownership.
