Viewing Event Record: The St Paul's Almonry House was on the south side of the Cathedral

Abstract

Details from Sebastian Westcott's second appointment as Almoner and Master of the Choristers help to locate the Almonry House on the cathedral grounds. The Almonry House was on ' the southern side of the cathedral church.' Bowers disputes Reavley Gair's placement of the Almoner's House ('Conditions of Appointment,' pp 117–18) 'in the south churchyard, facing Knightrider Street,' arguing that 'such a location would in fact have placed the building outside the cathedral precinct altogether.'
