View Larger MapDescription of institution: "This parish, at the beginning of the Confessor's reign, was an entire field. At the end of his reign it began to be inhabited, and the part now called the Market Place was the 'Magna Crofta Castelli,' the great croft or close, used for pasture.
In 1390 a church stood here; this was demolished and the present one built, and finished in 145 s. It is the finest parochial church in the city, of which this is the principal parish." (Williams, n.p.)
