Full Description

A chapel of St Botolph existed in the town in the 14th century, with a reference in 1374 to the brethren of St Botolph. This chapel presumably lay in the unlocated St Botolph Street and St Botolph End, which still existed in circa 1720 but has not been located. A Chapel Hill Close is recorded in 1550 and then again on the Inclosure map, lying immediately north of The Vines, some distance from the town, but there is no reason at present to suggest that this was the site of a chapel rather than simply land belonging to a chapel in the town.
