OS 6"map,(1938)
"Chapel Yard (Burial Ground) Applies to a large burying ground in Chapel Street. It was the yard of the chapel which belonged to a Franciscan, or as the OSA (OSA 1793) maintains Dominican Monastery, established here in the reign of Alexander II. At present there is not the slightest vestige remaining of either of these two objects - Cromwell having removed every stone of them for building of a citadel near the mouth of the river, neither can their site be pointed out by any of the inhabitants of the town".
