¶1603 Description of Ward Boundaries
The following diplomatic transcription of the opening paragraph(s) of the 1603 chapter
on this ward will eventually be subsumed into the MoEML edition of the 1603 Survey.1 Each ward chapter opens with a narrative circumnavigation of the ward—a verbal
beating of the boundsthat MoEML first transcribed in 2004 and later used to facilitate the drawing of approximate ward boundaries on our edition of the Agas map. Source: John Stow, A Survey of London (London, 1603; STC #23343).
THe next adioyning to Colemanſtreete
ward on the weſt ſide thereof is Baſſings hall warde, a ſmall thing, and conſiſteth of one ſtreete
called Baſſings hall ſtreete, of
Baſſings hall, the moſt principall houſe, whereof the ward taketh name. It
beginneth in the South by the late ſpoken Market houſe called the Bay hall,
which is the laſt of Colemanſtreete
warde. This ſtreete runneth from thence north downe to London wall, and ſome little diſtance
both Eaſt and Weſt, againſt the ſaid hall, and this is the bounds of Baſſings hall warde.
