(ST.) MARY WITHOUT ALDERSGATE

   Various bequests to the new chapel of St. Mary the Virgin without Aldresgate, or to the new work of the Church of St. Mary without Aldersgate, 1349-61 (Ct. H. Wills, I. 558, 646, 665, 688, and II. 27).

   This would seem to be the chapel of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary without Aldersgate, founded by Sir Walter Manny in 1349, in the "Newchirchehaw" or churchyard purchased by him for the burial of those who died from the plague, and acquired from him in 1361 to carry out the desire of Michael de Northburgh, Bishop of London, for the foundation of a House of the Carthusian order.
