Oxendon Street


Haymarket. (SW1) Here formerly stood a Nonconformist chapel. It was built by Richard Baxter adjoining the wall of the house of Mr. Secretary Coventry, to whom Baxter's principles were so unpalatable that it is said he caused the soldiers to beat drums under the chapel windows to drown the preachers voice. (Walford's Old and New London, vol. II, p. 231)
