Blanch Appleton

Blanch Appleton was a manor on Fenchurch Street next to St. Katherine Coleman in Aldgate Ward. It is marked on the Agas map as Blanch chapelton. Stow records that it was a market during the reign of Edward IV, but the market by Stow’s time was discontinued, and therefore forgotten, so as no-thing remaineth for memorie, but the name of Mart Lane (Stow 113). The site was claimed by the Mayor and Commonality of the City in 1637, and its name continued in the 18th-century Blanch Appleton Court (Harben).
