descent of this street is such, that in the
yeere 1574. on the fourth of September
in the afternoone, there fell a storme of
raine, where-through the channels sud-
denly arose, and ranne with such a swift
course towards the common shores, that
a Lad of eighteene yeeres old,
to have leapt over the channell, neere
unto the said Conduit, was taken with
the streame, and carried from thence
towards the Thames with such a vio-
lence, that no man, with staves, or o-
therwise, could stay him, till hee came
against a Cart-wheele, that stood in the

a Procession, which passed through the
principall streets of the City, wherein
was borne more than one hundred Tor-

Clerkes and Priests in Surpleffes and
Coapes, singing. After the which,

Then lower downe was a Colledge
of Priests, called Iesus Commons, a house
well furnished with Brasse, Pewter, Na-
pery, Plate, &c. besides a faire Library
well stored with Bookes, all which of
old time were given to a number of
Priests, that should keepe Commons
there, and as one left his place (by death
or otherwise) another should be admit-
ted into this room; but this order with-
in this thirty yeers being discontinued,
the said house was dissolved and turned
to Tenements.
Down lower have ye Elbow-lane, and
at the corner thereof was one great stone
house, called Old-hall: it is now taken
downe, and divers faire houses of Tim-
ber placed there. This was sometime
pertaining to William de pont le Arch,
by him given to the Priory of S. Mary
Overy in Southwarke, in the reigne of
Henry the first. In this Elbow-lane is
the Inholders hall, and other faire hou-
ses: this lane runneth West, and sud-
denly turneth South into Thames street,
and therefore (of that bending) is cal-
led Elbow-lane. On the East side of this
Downegate street, is the great old house
before spoken of, called the Erbar, neere
to the Church of Saint Mary Bothaw; Geffrey Scroope held it by the gift of Ed-
ward the third in the foureteenth of his
reigne. It belonged since to Iohn Nevell,
Lord of Raby, then to Richard Nevell,
Earle of Warwicke; Nevell, Earle of Sa-
lisbury was lodged there, 1457. Then
it came to George Duke of Clarence, and
his heires males, by the gift of Edward
the fourth in the foureteene yeere of his
reigne. It was lately builded by Sir
Thomas Pullison Maior, and was after-
ward inhabited by Sir Francis Drake,
that famous Navigator. Next to this
great house, is a lane turning to Bush-
lane, (of old time called Carter-lane, of
Carts, and Carmen having Stables
there) and now called Chequer-lane, or
Chequer-Alley, of an Inne called the
Chequer.

Cosin, that dwelled there, in the fourth
of Richard the second, as divers his pre-
decessors, Father, Grandfather, &c. had
done before him. William Cosin was one
of the Sheriffes in the yeere 1306. That

Next to this lane, on the East, is the
Steleyard (as they terme it) a place for
Merchants of Almaine, that used to
bring hither, as well Wheat, Rie, and
other graine, as Cables, Ropes, Masts,
Pitch, Tarre, Flaxe, Hempe, Linnen
Cloth, Wainscots, Waxe, Steele, and
other profitable Merchandizes. Vnto
these Merchants, in the yeere, 1259.
Henry the third, at the request of his
Brother Richard, Earle of Cornwall, King
of Almaine, granted, that all and singu-
lar the Merchants, having a house in
the City of London, commonly called
Guilda Aula Theutonicorum, should bee
maintained and upholden through the
whole Realme, by all such freedomes,
and free usages or liberties, as by the
King and his Noble Progenitors time
they had and enjoyed, &c. Edward the
first renued and confirmed that Charter
of Liberties, granted by his Father. And
in the tenth yeere of the same Edward,
Henry Wallis being Maior, a great con-
troversie did arise between the said Ma-
ior, and the Merchants of the Haunce of
Almaine, about the reparations of Bi-
shopsgate, then likely to fall, for that the
said Merchants enjoyed divers priviled-
ges, in respect of maintaining the said
Gate, which they now denyed to re-
paire: for the appeasing of which con-
the King sent his Writ to the
Treasurer, and Barons of his Exchequer
commanding, that they should make
inquisition thereof: Before whom the
Merchants being called, when they were
not able to discharge themselves, sith
they enjoyed the liberties to them gran-
ted for the same; a Precept was sent
to the Maior and Sheriffes, to distraine
the said Merchants to make reparations,
namely, Gerard Marbod, Alderman of
the Haunce; Ralph de Cussarde, a Citi-
zen of Colen, Ludero de Denevar, a Bur-
gesse of Trivar; Iohn of Aras, a Bur-
gesse of Trivon; Bartram of Hamburgh;
Godestalke of Hundondale, a Burgesse of
Trivon; Iohn de Dele, a Burgesse of Mun-
star, then remaining in the said City of
London, for themselves, and all other
Merchants of the Haunce: and so they
granted 210. Markes sterling to the
Maior and Citizens, and undertooke,
that they and their successors should
(from time to time) repaire the said
Gate, and beare the third part of the
charges in mony, and men to defend it,
when need were.

their Graine, which they brought into
this Realme, in Innes, and sell it in their
Garners, by the space of forty dayes af-
ter they had laid it up; except by the

Thus much for their Priviledges:
Whereby it appeareth, that they were
great Merchants of Corne, brought out
of the East parts hither, insomuch, that
the occupiers of husbandry in this Land
were enforced to complaine of them,
for bringing in such aboundance, when
the Corne of this Realme was at an ea-

Of later time, to wit, in the sixth of
Richard the second, they hired one house
next adjoyning to their old Hall, which
sometime belonged to Richard Lions, a
famous Lapidarie, one of the Sheriffes
of Lond. in the 49. of Edward the third,
and in the fourth of Richard the second,

Touching this Cold Harbrough, I find,
that in the 13. of Edward the second,
Sir Iohn Abel, Knight, demised or let
unto Henry Stow, Draper, all that his
capitall Messuage, called the Cold Har-
brough, in the Parish of All Saints ad foe-
num, and all the purtenances within the
Gate, with the Key which Robert Hart-
ford, Citizen, sonne to William Hartford,
had, and ought, and the foresaid Robert
paid for it the rent of 33. shillings the
yeere. This Robert Hartford being own-
er thereof, as also of other lands in Sur-
rey; deceasing without issue male, left
two daughters his Coheires, to wit, I-
donia, married to Sir Ralph Bigot, and
Maude, married to Sir Stephen Cosenton,
Knights, betweene whom the said house
and lands were parted. After the which
Iohn Bigot, Sonne to the said Sir Ralph
and Sir Iohn Cosenton, did sell their moi-
ties of Cold Harbrough unto Iohn Poult-
ney, sonne of Adam Poultney, the eighth
of Edward the third. This Sir Iohn Poult-
ney dwelling in this house, and being 4.
times Maior, the said house tooke the
name of Poultney’s Inne. Notwithstan-
ding, this Sir Iohn Poultney, the 21. of
Edward the third, by his Charter gave
and confirmed to Humfrey de Bohune,
Earle of Hereford and Essex, his whole
tenement, called Cold Harbrough, with
all the Tenements and Key adjoyning,
and appurtenances sometime pertaining
to Robert de Herford, on the way called
Hay-wharfe lane, &c. for one Rose at
Midsummer, to him and his heires, for
all services, if the same were demanded.
This Sir Iohn Poultney deceased 1349.

In the yeere 1397. the 21 of Richard
the second, Iohn Holland, Earle of Hun-
tington, was lodged there, and Richard
the second his Brother dined with him:
it was then counted a right faire and
stately house. But in the next yeere
following, I finde, that Edmond, Earle
of Cambridge, was there lodged: not-
withstanding, the said house still retai-
ned the name of Poultney’s Inne, in the
reigne of Henry the sixth, the 26. of his
reigne. It belonged since to H. Holland
Duke of Excester, and hee was lodged
there in the yeere 1472. In the yeere
1485. Richard the third, by his Letters
Patents granted and gave to Iohn Writh,
alias Garter, principall King of Armes
of English men, and to the rest of the
Kings Heralds and Pursevants of Arms,
all that Messuage with the appurtenan-
ces, called Cold Harber, in the Parish of
All Saints the little in London, and their
successors for ever. Dated at Westmin-
ster the second of March, Anno regni suiprimo,
without fine or see. How the said
Heralds departed, therewith, I have
not read, but in the reigne of Henry the
eighth, the Bishop of Durhams house,
neere Charing Crosse, being taken into
the Kings hand, Cuthbert Tunstal, Bi-
shop of Durham, was lodged in this
Cold Harber, since the which time it
hath belonged to the Earles of Shrews-
bury, by composition (as is supposed)
from the said Cuthbert Tunstall. The
last deceased Earle tooke it downe, and
in place thereof builded a great number
of small Tenements now letten out for
great rents, to people of all sorts.

(Harben Dowgate Hill). According to Stow, the street got its name from the act ofdowne going or descending,
because the street descends to the Thames (Stow 248).Dowgate Street is mentioned in the following documents:

Bethlehem Hospital
Although its name evokes the pandemonium of the archetypal madhouse, Bethlehem (Bethlem, Bedlam) Hospital was not always an asylum. As Stow tells us, Saint Mary of Bethlehem began as aPriorie of Cannons with brethren and sisters,
founded in 1247 by Simon Fitzmary,one of the Sheriffes of London
(Stow 1: 164). We know from Stow’s Survey that the hospital, part of Bishopsgate ward (without), resided on the west side of Bishopsgate Street, just north of St. Botolph’s church (Stow 1: 165).Bethlehem Hospital is mentioned in the following documents:

The Steelyard
The Steelyard was the chief outpost of the Hanseatic League in the city of London. Located on the north side of the River Thames, slightly west of London Bridge, the Steelyard was home to many wealthy German merchants from the 13th century to the end of the 16th century. Although it was a powerful economic force in the 15th and early 16th centuries, by the time of Elizabeth’s reign, piracy and economic sanctions had rendered the once great Steelyard obsolete (Lloyd 344-5).The Steelyard is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Merchants of the Haunce of Almaineʼs Hall
According to Stow, the Merchants of the Haunce of Almaineʼs Hall was located in Thames Street by Cousin Lane and waslarge, builded of Stone, with three arched Gates towards the street

Coldharbour was a mansion dating back to at least the reign of Edward II (Harben). It is not marked on the Agas map, but its location can be discerned from the position of All Hallows the Less. After 1543, the eastern portion of the house was leased to the Watermen’s Company (Harben). It ceased to function as a private residence in 1593 and became a tenemant house (Harben). Nevertheless, it remained a distinctive site and is mentioned in dramatic works well into the 17th century (Sugden). It was destroyed in the Fire, after which a brewery was built on the site (Harben).Coldharbour is mentioned in the following documents:

Candlewick Street
Candlewick, or Candlewright Street as it was sometimes called, ran east-west from Walbrook in the west to the beginning of Eastcheap at its eastern terminus. Candlewick became Eastcheap somewhere around St. Clements Lane, and led into a great meat market (Stow 1 :217). Together with streets such as Budge Row, Watling Street, and Tower Street, which all joined into each other, Candlewick formed the main east-west road through London between Ludgate and Posterngate.Candlewick Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Suffolk Lane
According to Stow, Suffolk Lane ran north-south between Candlewick Street and Thames Street. Our Agas coordinates are based on Stow, who writes that it was positioned between Bush Lane and St. Laurence Lane. Such a lane, though drawn, is not labelled on the Agas map. The Agas map position relative to St. Laurence Poultney Churchyard of this unlabelled lane also accords with Stow’s account of Suffolk Lane. Suffolk Lane is marked on the 1520 map as extending north from Wolsies Lane (Historical Towns Trust). However, its position on that map does not align with Stow’s account of its position with respect to the St. Laurence Poultney Churchyard.We are awaiting further confirmation of this street’s position.Suffolk Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Merchant Taylors’ School
Merchant Taylors’ School was a grammar school founded by The Merchant Taylors’ Company in 1561. According to Stow, The Merchant Taylors’ Company bought Rose Manor on Suffolk Lane to serve as the building for the school (Stow 189). This building was destroyed in the Fire, and a new building was constructed on the same site in 1674–1675.Merchant Taylors’ School is mentioned in the following documents:

We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
