THE ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF OLD PLYMOUTH. 357 
belonging situate in the town of Plymouth late to the monastarie 
of Plyinpton belonging." These are the only references to such a 
place that I am aware of. I am not certain that I know where 
the Hermytage was situated. Quarry Well may be the same as 
Lady Well, but I do not think it was. The latter was near the 
end house close to Gascoigne Place, at the foot of Ladywell Place. 
I have also a note to the following effect: — "Plymouth hath 
four wells — Jacob's Well in Southside Street, St. Andrew's Well, 
the well on the road leading to Cattedown, and Maudlin Well;" 
but I can give no further account of them. This note seems to 
imply that St. Andrew's Well was not the same as that on the 
road to Cattedown ; but at present I cannot reconcile the discre- 
pancy. 
I have now, in conclusion, to speak of some buildings of old 
Plymouth undoubtedly connected with the church, but with 
reference to which there are differences of opinion as to their uses, 
locality, or otherwise. 
Of all the remains of old Plymouth, St. Andrew's church 
excepted, none is so perfect as its neighbour, the so-called Abbey. 
I will not weary you with repeating all the conjectures that 
have been made as to its origin. I cannot help thinking with most 
other persons, that it was in some way connected with St. Andrew's ; 
but there is not the slightest clue, and any opinion is the purest 
speculation, and I have nothing new to say. 
There were other buildings around St. Andrew's church, both 
north-east and west of it; but their history is lost, and the 
purposes for which they were used can be only speculated upon. 
Leland speaks of a house on the north side of the church-yard 
of Plymouth parish church; and up to the middle of the last 
century, there was a granite-built house in Frankfort Place, now 
Bedford Street. It was a quadrangular building, with a large 
central court, two stories high, and a porch similar, it is said, to 
that of the north porch of St. Andrew's church, but with seats 
around it. Tradition connects this with the Cistercians, and it may 
have belonged to them, the monks at Buckland apparently having 
been in some way mixed up with Plymouth as well as with 
Stonehouse. 
But this house must not, I think, be confounded with the other 
of which Leland speaks when he says that " there is an hospital- 
house on the north side of the church." This was, I believe, in
