Peas Hill

[1][2] It runs between Wheeler Street to the south and Market Hill to the north.

The area is not strictly speaking a hill, being lower in elevation than some surrounding areas, but was once a slope down to the river upon which the city's main fish market stood.

It is likely that its name is a corruption of the Latin pisces (fish) as there is no evidence that peas were ever exclusively grown or sold on the site.

[3] St Edward King and Martyr church is on the west side of the street.

The church is dedicated to Edward the Martyr, who was King of England from 975 until his murder in 978.
