"LAMBE'S CHAPEL, is situated in a court at the north-west corner of Monkwell-street, and was founded in the reign of Edward I. At the dissolution of religious houses, Henry VIII. granted it to William Lambe, a rich citizen and cloth-worker, who bequeathed it in 1568, with other property, to the Clothworkers' Company, of which he was a member. It has been recently rebuilt, with a row of alms houses by the company." [J. Elmes, A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
