Church Street, shops and graves

Church Street used to be known as Spital Way as it passed the northern boundary of the Priory which provided hospitality. The Priory churchyard remains whilst shops have developed on the north side of the rather steep shopping area. With the rise of supermarkets away from the traditional shopping area the number of small specialist shops reduces. Gordon Smith's haberdashery and kitchenware shop has been here a long time (since at least 1970) though the shop front informs us that the business incorporates "Gwynn & Sons Est 1852".
