        The hospital of early modern London was a fast-evolving platial concept. Many religious hospitals were dissolved in or shortly after 1536 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. These religious hospitals covered a wide range of hospitality-related functions, including medical and spiritual care, almsgiving, education, and pilgrim lodging. After the Dissolution, new and reendowed hospitals played a central role in the City of London’s developing poor relief program. Our categorization covers the wider range of pre- and post-Reformation hospitals that existed within our temporal scope or are remembered in our primary sources. Many of these are also indiscernible from their associated churches and therefore fall under both categories. See our Hospitals topic page for more information.

        The Inns of Courts were the law schools of early modern London.

        Monuments, shrines, and tombs in early modern London or remembered by early modern Londoners and represented in MoEML’s sources.
      • Neighbourhoods (mdt:mdtEncyclopediaLocationNeighbourhood)
        London’s official political jurisdictions are parishes, wards, and liberties. Early modern texts also talk about areas that we might call neighbourhoods. They do not lend themselves to being mapped on the Agas map platform underlying The Map of Early Modern London because they do not have clear boundaries; however, they were significant to the early modern imagination and are mentioned throughout the texts we cite. These areas encompass many features of the streetscape and landscape, and often cross jurisdictional boundaries. The following list will be expanded as MoEML’s other pages make reference to neighbourhoods.
      • Parishes (mdt:mdtEncyclopediaLocationParish)
        Parishes in early modern London or remembered by early modern Londoners and represented in MoEML’s sources. Authority names come from the Worshipful Company of Parish Clerks. For the geo-located parish boundaries, we are indebted to the work of Locating London’s Past.

        Establishments in early modern London such as Inns, Alehouses, and Taverns where sustenance was served, or such places as remembered by early modern Londoners and represented in MoEML’s sources. We include all such establishments in a single category. For the generic places, see Inn, Alehouse, Tavern, Ordinary, Bakehouse, Cook-shop, and Tobacco Shop.
      • Topographical features (mdt:mdtEncyclopediaLocationTopographical)
        By the early modern period, the natural topography of the site upon which London was built had been largely overwritten by urban development. The names of streets, sites, and churches attest to the springs and rivers that were once visible. For example, the Walbrook had been bricked over, but it was still the imaginary boundary between east and west London. We list here a few topographical features to which we intend to devote pages in the future.
