I've not heard of a charnel house so had to look it up.  something else I've learned from this group.


A charnel house is a vault or building where human skeletal remains are stored,  They are often built near churches for depositing bones that are unearthed while digging graves.

That’s the place Diapason.


It gets described in many ways, a bier house is one, and I was trying to work an alcoholic clue to Pete’s  dead pub (beer house) theme.


Over to you.

There is a nearby stream, and a linked road name, but the building itself has absolutely nothing to do with water.

Oh the temptation to go off into Kenneth Williams or Frankie Howerd voices, making dodgy jokes about Swan Upping...

It was, landlord John Skelton used to go off Swan Upping whenever it was the Waterman's Company turn.
