Holywell Priory
Founded in the twelfth century,
Holywell Priory stood along the west side of Shoreditch Street and the north side of
Hog Lane (Norton Folgate), occupying the site that would later house London’s first playhouse,
the Theatre. The priory was dissolved on 10 October 1539,
though its southern gateway and a fragment of its southwestern wall remained for centuries
after (Bowsher,
Holywell Priory232). It was the ninth richest priory in all of England (Bull).

The Theatre
The first purpose-built playhouse in England, the Theatre, located in Shoreditch, was constructed in 1576 by actor James Burbage. While direct evidence of plays performed at the Theatre is rare, scholars have inferred that the playhouse was used by the Queen Elizabeth’s Men, Earl of Leicester’s Men, Earl of Warwick’s Men, Lord Strange’s Men, Admiral’s Men, Chamberlain’s Men, and Earl of Pembroke’s Men. In 1598, the Theatre was dismantled after a land dispute and was relocated to Bankside were it was erected as theGlobe.
