A view of Chantry House on the corner of Towcester's London Road
and Chantry Lane. The chantry was founded in 1447 by Archdeacon
Sponne, the vicar of St.Lawrence. It fell to the Crown during
the reign of King Edward VI. The building was re-purchased by
feoffees of Archdeacon Sponne and became part of the Grammar
School in 1552. The house was rebuilt in the mid-1860's. The
photograph shows the ridged garden wall and gate arch, both of
which date back to the 15th century.
