1 St Owen's church was just outside the south gate of Gloucester. By 1643 the parish had been united with that of St Mary de Crypt and the church pulled down. The grid reference given is for the approximate site of St Owen's before 1643. The Victoria History of the Counties of England: Gloucester, ed. W.Page et al., 9 vols, 2 & 4-11 (London, 1907-2001) vol 4 p.310 2 The chapel of St Kyneburgh was inside the town wall at the South Gate. The grid reference is approximate for its site since it has not survived. The Victoria History of the Counties of England: Gloucester, ed. W.Page et al., 9 vols, 2 & 4-11 (London, 1907-2001) vol 4 p.316 3 The chapel here has not survived, and the grid reference is for Elmore Court. 4 The vicarage here was apparently too low in value to be listed as taxable; for the extent of the vicarage in the middle of the thirteenth century see EEA13 93-4, and for the appropriation to Llanthony priory see also VCHGloucs4 310-11.
