Peck’s Yard is a good example of one of the yards of labourer’s cottages, which were found throughout the town in the nineteenth century.
This yard was known for a time as Earls Place and, though quite modernised, gives a great idea of the topology of Chatteris in the past and how its layout may have changed over time.

Taking a digital tour of Chatteris?
If you’re taking a Digital Tour of Chatteris, cross the High Street to Ash Grove where you’ll see a white building that that sits parallel to Ash Grove itself. This is our next stop – the former Quaker Meeting House.
If you are taking the short version of the Digital Tour and began at Church Lane, you’re now at the halfway point of the tour.
