Description

A medieval stone wall is located on the south side of Chapel Street. It may include reused stone and is topped with brick, featuring a sloping brick capping. The wall stretches for about 62 yards along Chapel Street. Originally, it marked the northern boundary of the grounds of No 28 St Mary's Street before the site was redeveloped into a care home in 1986.
