Andrea and fellow listers, I can't help out with the origins of the name of the Malt-house Chapel but, I did come across 2 items that seem as though they might possibly tie in with it. The following is a direct quote from something I picked up in Canterbury. It is produced on the letterhead of Elise Protestante Francaise de Cantorbery and was written by Michael H. Peters in July, 1995. 'In the early eighteenth century one of our schismatic groups known as the French Uniform Church or French Conformist Church had translated and swallowed whole the Book of Common Prayer. After a disreputable start centring around a tussle in - yes in - the crypt pulpit one Sunday, this sect became more respectable and it lasted from 1709 until 1746 when its last pasteur PIERRE LE SUEUR died. He was buried at St. Alphage (now called the Canterbury Urban Studies Centre) where he was also an Anglican Curate. His stone describes him as "Minister to a French Episcopal Chapel in this city"/ Despite its comparatively long life, the historians seem unable to agree about where this sect met. Some say it was in the Forrens chapel. Others that it was in part of the palace." I don't know if this could possibly be the Malt-house connection but I thought it might be worthwhile mentioning because of the 1709 date. The other thing that I noticed was that JEAN CHERPENTIER is listed as being "Pasteur en residence a Cantorbery" (sorry I'm missing accents) between 1700-1709. Possibly he and the Jean Cherpentier who petitioned the Archbishop are one in the same. Perhaps he was the pasteur who led the flock who "swallowed whole the Book of Common Prayer". Just a couple of thoughts... Sorry I couldn't help out with origins of Malt-house though. Perhaps it was a nickname and that's why no one seems certain where the above-noted sect worshipped. Regards, Jan Zwarick. P.S. Thank you for responding to my GRD look-up request Andrea. I shall be tracking down the snail-mailer who is researching LEPINE's in East London.
