NW corner of junction of Allhallows Lane with Beast Banks and Low FellsideAll Hallows' Chapel stood at the head of the lane which still bears that name, opposite to the Black Swan Inn, at the lower side of the field called Chapel Close (Vide Speed's Plan, letter Q). Dr. Burn obviously refers to this place, as "a chapel at the head of the Bank, upon a hill called Chapel Hill, now demolished: and an house erected upon the site thereof, where the arms of the Roos are very apparent in the front". The chapel is reported to have been take down (we cannot ascertain how long ago), for the purpose of widening the road. The arms of the Roos are now nowhere observable. Not far from this place, and adjoining the said Chapel Close, on the north side, is an isolated cemetary called The Sepulchre, where some of the Society of Friends have been buried.Annals of Kendal, Cornelius Nicholson, 1861
