Silas Marner lived in Lantern Yard before moving to Raveloe after being falsely accused of theft and losing his faith.

The place where Silas Marner lived before Raveloe was Lantern Yard.

In the novel Silas Marner by George Eliot, Lantern Yard is the community that Silas was a part of before he was falsely accused of theft and subsequently expelled.

This betrayal and the loss of his faith precipitated his move to Raveloe, where he becomes a reclusive weaver before the story's key events unfold.
