Offele Alley
Offele Alley was named so in 1553, but it became Corbet Court and was perhaps called Corbet’s Alley at one point—it
was named after its owner (Harben 171). Notably,
[a] house in Corbet Court was purchased in 1675 to be the parsonage house of St. Peter Cornhill, after the old one burnt down(Harben 171).
