A rectory, appropriated to the Cathedral Priory.

St John the Evangelist, King Street.
Founded about around 1300 AD it was annexed to the parish of St Peter Parmentergate. It was then purchased by the Greyfriars and demolished. A small part was converted into an anchorage for the friary.
A. Rogerson (NLA) notes: this must be incorrect. Sandred mentions references to this as 'a place where there was a church' in the mid 13th century. 1300 must be the date it was taken over by St Peter's.
