(St.) Lawrence Pountney Churchyard
- (St.) Lawrence Pountney Churchyard
On the south side of the Church, west of Lawrence Pountney Lane. In Candlewick Ward (O.S.).
Mentioned in 1349 (Ct. H.W. I. 553).
Weavers brought out of Flanders held their meetings in this Churchyard (S. 219).
A common way existed through the Churchyard, which the Rector once stopped up, but had to reopen (Strype, ed. 1720, I. ii. 189).
The Churchyard seems to extend on both sides of the passage from Lawrence Pountney Lane to Lawrence Pountney Hill, one portion being called the "Church Ground" and the other the "Church Yard." The church stood on the site known as the "Church Ground" (Wilson, p. 174).
