Caption for Aylesbury, Church Street 1921: All the houses on the left have been bought by the Thomas Hickman Charity in recent years and refurbished, including the Chantry on the left, a pretty Gothick front of about 1840 with arched and hood-moulded windows concealing a 16th century timber frame. On the right is the Buckinghamshire County Museum housed in Ceely House, the house with the porch on the right, and in the old Grammar School beyond. Ceely House's excellent Georgian front conceals a superb timber frame of 1472 built as the Brotherhood House of the Fraternity of the Virgin Mary.
