Tenter Yard

Tenter Yard lies off Southwark and holds a refuge for women, three rooms over a chandler's shop, run by Sister Agnes Hensey. Its door is bolted, but a kettle is kept hot. She admits any woman who knocks before dawn, puts no questions to her until she volunteers, and has faced down threats from keepers and from a magistrate.
