| Supposed Site of ST. MICHAEL'S CHAPEL | Site of St. Michael's Chapel | Mr. David Miller Writer | 046 | [Situation] On the south of James Street This place has been pointed out by Mr. Miller, Writer as the site of the Chapel of the Almonry or Eleemosynary otherwise called the Chapel of St Michael the Archangel. He states that it was erected previous to 1427. The Almonry and chapel were strictly dependant on the Abbey, and were served by some of the Abbey Monks called the Monks of the Almonry. The Almonry and its Chapel were supported by offerings and by the rents and feu duties of the Almonry grounds. The Chapel stood a little way back from the High Street, in the grounds between James' Street & Church Street, near the east end of Free Inverbrothock Church. |

[Note]
As only one person could be found in
Arbroath who could point out the site
of this Chapel, it is better write it on plan
with the word, " Supposed".
But I may observe, that it is well known
to many others that a Chapel stood somewhere
in the vicinity where Mr. Miller points out
the site.
