Whitefriars

In the short story The Case of the Discontented Soldier, Whitefriars is an abandoned house in Friars's Lane in Hampstead. Freda Clegg is told to go there, in a letter she received from a lawyer. While there she is attacked by some strangers and she is rescued by Major Charles Wilbraham, who in turn has been told by Parker Pyne to go to Hampstead.

Some time later the Major gets a note from Freda, and returns to Friar's Lane and enters the house. He is knocked unconscious and when he wakes up, he and Freda are bound and in the cellar. A voice sounds through the house and water starts to pour down the walls. They manage to escape from their bonds and get out of the house.

Parker Pyne is the owner of the house, having bought it a long time ago. He has used it in eleven exiting adventures.
