| Abstract: | On Lower Bridge Street, Chester, just opposite St Olave's Church, is the raised Gamul Terrace, which now houses the Brewery Tap public house (the former Gamul House) and a number of private homes. Gamul House was the home of Sir Francis Gamull (1606–1654), a mayor of Chester and prominent royalist during the Civil War. The name Gamul derives from a Norse personal name. It is therefore an intriguing coincidence that Gamul Terrace sits at the heart of Viking-age Chester. This short article summarises recent research on the settlement of the Vikings in Wirral, their expansion towards Chester and proposes a context for the name Gamul. | ||
