then ran from Winifred’s Well down to the bottom of the 
present Cavendish Place and then turned to the left along what 
is now Park Place and Park Street into St. James’s Square, and 
then back again into the ditch upon which Marlborough 
Buildings were afterwards erected. 
Philippa Gally, widow of James Gally, clothworker, lived in a 
large house, now 1 to 5, London street, with garden and orchard 
reaching to the river Avon, and adjoining was a barn which 
further proves the rustic character of the parish. Philippa had

but that of Gally is not found.

the new Schools, I cannot say.

Above what is now St. James’s Square was Butty Piece. The 
site of the City Butts, conveniently situated just outside the city, 
with a hill at the back and being apart from the Common there 
was no danger to the cattle grazing there. The houses on the 
east side of St. James’s Place mark the lane which led to the 
Butts. 
Opposite Walcot Church resided until the commencement of
