Blackfriars Stairs

According to Carlin and Belcher, these stairs were possibly constructed [in] 1294 (66). Henry A. Harben elaborates: In 1294 a quay was in course of construction at the house of the Friars Preachers, and in the description of the house and precinct as it stood at the death of Thomas Cawardine, Gap in transcription. Reason: Editorial omission for reasons of length or relevance. Use only in quotations in born-digital documents.[…] mention is made of the lane which led to the ’comon Staires of the Thames’ as one of the boundaries (79). The aforementioned lane is Water Lane.
