No Explanation By Manley About The Name Of Chancery Lane, Warminster

Victor Manley, in his Regional Survey Of The Warminster District, Volume Five, compiled in the 1920s and 1930s, listed and attempted to explain the meaning of several local place names. He included Chancery Lane in his list, but gives no history or explanation of the name, only that it is a “continuation of Chain Lane,” crossing Boreham Road, “to Woodcock.”
