OS 1:1250 map, (1970).
Chapter House is an altered 17th century house. It is crowstepped with a spur stone bearing the initials GC and BH and date 165(?3). An arched doorway adjoining bears the date 1655 and the same initials, which presumably commemorate Dean of Guild Criukshank to whom the house is attributed.
