Bell & Crown A Grade 2 listed building of mid 14th century origins. In 1415 the tenement comprising at that time four shops in all, was given by one Thomas Chapelyn to the Dean and Chapter to sell for the endowment of his Chantry at Salisbury Cathedral where he was buried. Believed to have been a Public House from the 17th century when it was called "The Horseshoe". Through the 18th century it was known as "The King of Prussia" and then as "The White Lion". It was renamed "The Bell and Crown" in the 19th century and remained so until the late 20th century when in 1988 it became "The Cloisters"
