Hi, listers -- some follow-up comments on the location of the Malt-house Chapel, apparently located somewhere within the Precincts of Canterbury Cathedral. First, many thanks to my two fellow Canadians, Jan and Janis, for their contributions on this topic (29 & 30 Sept) . Janis is correct in pointing out that the Precincts is a large area inside the walls which surround the Cathedral and that there are many buildings located there which, today, include such things as book stores and gift shops. At one time, there could well have been a malt-house (ie. a brewery). For anyone who is unfamiliar with the Cathedral and its surrounding area but would like to learn more, the following URL's may be helpful. For example, here is a map which shows the Precincts and where the Cathedral is situated within: http://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/histprecincts.html. (No brewery on this map, though <g>). Note that there is just one entrance to the Precincts (look at bottom of the map, towards the left). That's called the Christchurch Gateway (Christchurch being the Cathedral). If you go to the following URL, http://www.s-h-systems.co.uk/hotels/cathedra.html, you will see a photo of this Gateway and, to its right, is the Cathedral Gate Hotel with the spire of the Cathedral visible behind it. The Hotel was built in the 1400's so it would have been there (but probably not as a hotel) at the time of the Walloon Church and the Malthouse Chapel. The following URL shows a photo of some of the houses and buildings within the Cathedral Precincts -- http://www.hillside.co.uk/tour/d108.html. And, finally, here's another URL which shows an aerial photograph of the Cathedral, the Precincts, and the surrounding area of the city of Canterbury: http://www.digiserve.com/peter/cath-a.htm. Also, the church mentioned by Jan in her post is undoubtably the Malt-house Chapel. The dates fit (1709-1745) and I did see the name of Pierre LE SUEUR, as Minister, in the records c1720's+. But if even historians are unclear as to where this congregation met, it's doubtful that we'll learn any more. I wonder where the Forrens Chapel is -- possibly one of the many small chapels within the Cathedral itself. As for Jean CHERPENTIER, perhaps he was minister of the Walloon Church because the dates he served (1700-1709), as mentioned by Jan, pre-date the Malt-house. Does anyone know what "swallowed whole" the Book of Common Prayer might mean, though? And that "disreputable.... tussle in the crypt pulpit one Sunday" sounds interesting. I, for one, would love to learn more. I am assuming that this means that the tussle took place during the services of the Walloon Church congregation -- because this is where they worshipped, ie. in the Crypt or Undercroft. A map showing the various areas and chapels in the Crypt of the Cathedral is at http://www.digiserve.com/peter/crypt.htm. Any further info known by other listers is welcomed. You're all way too quiet for a group of almost three hundred people. Andrea
