THE POET CHAUCER
REMAINS OF HOUSE DISCOVERED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, February 26. (Received February 2 1, at 9.10 a-Ui.) An underground chamber was discovered by workmen laying a cable between the House of Commons and the Abbey, and is believed to be the remains of the house occupied by the poet Chaucer in the thirteenth century, before Henry Vll.’s chapel was erected in 1535. The chapel of St. Mary stood practically on the same site. The records show that Chaucer when Parliamentary Clerk of Works, leased the house adjacent to St. Mary’s. The position of the chamber corresponds with what must have been Chaucer’s. —Sydney ‘ Sun ’ Cable.
