Maison Dieu Chapel [note]
"Part of the front & east walls of the hospital still stands
in the Vennel (a lane in the Timber Market) presenting
several fine though decayed points of Early English Archi-
tecture, with piscina and ambry, & the original mason-
marks are still visible on many of the stones. It had
never been a building of great extent & probably these
are the ruins of the Chapel which was erected by
Sir Wiliam of Brechin" Memorials of Angus & Mearns
"In a lane at the back of the town are some remains
of the Ancient Chapel of Maison Dieu, founded by Sir
William de Brechin, in 1256 & confirmed by James III in 1477." Fullartons Gazetteer
