History of 5 Green Street
On the site of the houses numbered 5,4, and 3 stood an old Independent Chapel, dating back to 1688, generally known as the Old Green Street Meeting House, but later referred to Stittle’s Chapel, after the Rev John Stittle, who served his congregation here from 1781 until his death.

The congregation migrated to a newly built chapel in Hobson Street on which the County Hall later stood. The University Union Society took over the building and stayed until 1866.
