The lane runs off the southwest end of James Street. The chapel is United Reformed, an 1858 replacement of a simpler chapel which was once the ministry of Caleb Morris (1800-1865) a celebrated preacher. From the Welsh DNB: "In 1822 he received a call to Narberth, Pembs., he was ordained there 2 April 1823. Morris moved to Fetter Lane, London, in 1827... Large crowds flocked to Fetter Lane to hear him. Owing to periods of physical weakness he was in the habit of returning to Wales to seek a renewal of his strength. He also sought for health in Switzerland and Germany but had to relinquish the care of his church and retire to Pembrokeshire... He possessed unusual gifts as a preacher and delighted in spiritual meditation. In spite of physical weakness he became one of the leading lights of the London pulpit." In September 1829 a man was sentenced at the Old Bailey to 7 years transportation for stealing Caleb Morris's hat from the vestry at Fetter Lane, see https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/print.jsp?div=18290910
