Full Description

St Mary's Chapel stood on St John's Green. It was first recorded in 1363 when it had been damaged by flood and fire. In 1392 the chapel's warden was involved, with two clerks of St Giles Church, in a dispute with St Mary Magdalen's Hospital, perhaps over jurisdiction. The chapel presumably survived until the dissolution but had been demolished by 1581.<1>
