St Anne's Chapel and Bisseley, later Shortley The lost medieval village of Bisseley, later called Shortley, lay somewhere not far from here in the 12th century Bisseley Mill a water com mill was located about 100 yards upstream of the Sherboume bridge. Later known as Charterhouse Mill, it was not demolished until the 1930s. Part of the village may lie under the Charterhouse and its grounds. The medieval chapel of St Anne's stood in the field between the London road and the. Sherboume. Its origins are obscure, but in 1393 it was described as a chapel with a house entirely surrounded by water, perhaps a moat fed by the Sherbourne. It belonged to the Trinity Guild, who leased it to the Charterhouse in the early 16th century. The chapel was confiscated and sold by the Crown in 1546. The lower part of the field near the river retained the name St Anne's Grove into the 19th century. In. 1733 it contained a dyehouse, possibly the converted chapel, out by 1820 it had disappeared. The best preserved medieval boundary wall in Coventry runs around the north and east sides of the Charterhouse precinct. At this end, close by the bridge, siged an ancient house, built partly on the wall it survived into the mid-19th century and was perhaps where the Charterhouse's gatekeeper lived.
