Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Chronicles of Black Yard, Vol. 1
In this Marsh stood an ancient chapel called the Chapel of St. Mary in Stepney Marsh. It is mentioned by that name in a will of the isth century. The object of its foundation does not appear. It is not likely that the Marsh could at that time have had many inhabitants. Perhaps it was a hermitage founded by some devout person for the purpose of saying masses for the souls of mariners. In 1821 this Chapel had been converted into a neat farm-house, standing upon the same foundation, and was then the only dwelling place upon the Marsh. It is described as exhibiting no remains of antiquity, except in the lower parts of the walls which are built of small stones and Hints. A Gothic window was removed about the year 1790.
