Context Name (Publication): Hendur-sag Chapel1     
Context Name (Excavation): Wayside Chapel     
Context Name (Excavation): PaSag Chapel     
Context Description: Off the corner of Church Lane and Straight Street. This house is combined with Straight Street 1, rooms 1,2,3.      
Context Description: The chapel occupied a corner site fronting on Carfax; the main door of the chapel proper opened on Church Lane and a subsidiary entrance which served the little rooms probably appropriated to the officiating priests opened on Straight Street. Such changes as were made in the building during its existence did not involve any raising of its floor level; from the beginning this was well above the street. The walls, most of which had suffered severely, were of later date, constructionally, than those of the neighbouring house, No. 3 Church Lane, onto which they abutted.2
