More about this scene
A cart horse of Dickens & Co, brewers and wine and spirits merchants, waits patiently between trips. Lighter loads were taken around town by handcart. It was on this street that a chantry house was provided, built by the widow of wealthy Newark merchant Alan Flemyng. Chantry priests were not usually a part of the establishment of a church or cathedral; they were independent. The function of a chantry priest was to say a mass every day for the soul of some departed citizen, the costs having been provided for in the dead person's estate, often in the form of rents from property.
