A minor road in the town centre. The name is a well known one, no doubt because of Chancery Lane station on the London Underground, but what does Chancery mean? It seems to get quite complex when you start looking at stuff about courts of law, but it can also mean something like a Public Record Office, which is probably the most likely explanation here.
