Castle Baynard Ward
THe next is Caſtle Bainard Warde, ſo
named of an olde Caſtle there: this Ward beginneth in the Eaſt, on the
Thames ſide, at an houſe called Huntington houſe, and runneth WEſt by Powles Wharfe, by Baynards Caſtell, Puddle Wharffe, and by the South ſide of Blacke Friers. Then turning by the Eaſt Wall of the
ſayde Friers, to the Southweſt ende of Creede lane. Then on the Northſide of Thames ſtreete, ouer agaynſt Huntington houſe, by
Saint Peters Church and lane, called Peter
hill, along till ouer agaynſt Puddle Wharffe: and then North up by the great Wardrobe, to the Weſt ende of Carter lane. Then up Creede lane, Aue Mary lane, and a peece of Pater Noſter Rowe, to the ſigne of the Golden Lion,
and backe againe up Warwicke lane,
all the Eaſt ſide thereof, to the ſigne of the Crowne by Newgate Market: & this is the fartheſt
North part of this Warde.
Then out of Thames ſtreete bee lanes
aſcending North to Knightriders
ſtreet: the firſt is Peter hill lane, all of that warde (two houſes
excepted adioyning to Saint Peters Church.) The next is Powles Wharffe hill, which thwarting Knightriers ſtreete, and Carter lane goeth up to the South
chaine of Powles churchyarde.
Then is Adleſtreete, ouer againſt the
Weſt part of Baynards Caſtell, going
up by the Weſt end of Knightriders
ſtreete, and to Carter lane.
Thus much for lanes out of Thames
ſtreete. The one halfe of the Weſt ſide of Lambard hill lane being of this Warde, at the
Northweſt ende thereof, on the South ſide, and at the Weſt end of Saint Mary
Magdalens church on the North ſide beginneth Knightriders ſtreete to be of this Warde, and

Then at the ſaid Eaſt end of ſaint Mary Magdalens Church goeth up the old
Exchange, al the weſt ſide whereof up to the ſoutheaſt gate of Powles churchyard, and by S. Auſtens
church, is of this ward. About the midſt of this olde Exchange, on the weſt
ſide thereof is Carter lane, which
runeth weſt to the eaſt entry of the blacke Friers, and the ſouth ende of Creed lane, out of the which Carter lane deſcendeth a lane called Do little
lane; and commeth into Knightrider
ſtreete, by the Bores head Tauerne: and more Weſt is Sermon lane, by
an Inne called the Powle head. Then out of Carter lane, on the North ſide thereof, the ſouth Chaine of Powles Churchyard, and the
church yard it ſelfe on that ſouth ſide of Powles church, and the church of ſaint Gregorie the Biſhoppes
Palace, and the Deanes lodging, be all of this Warde: and ſuch be the
boundes thereof.
