¶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).
CAndlewicke ſtreete, or Candlewright ſtreete warde, beginneth at the Eaſt end of great Eaſtcheape, it paſſeth weſt through Eaſtcheape to Candlewright
ſtreete, and through the ſame downe to the north ende of Suffolke lane, on the ſouth ſide, and downe that
lane by the weſt ende of ſaint Laurence
Churchyard, which is the fartheſt weſt part of that ward. The ſtreete of
great Eaſtcheape is ſo called of the Market there
kept, in the Eaſt part of the Citie, as Weſt
Cheape is a Market ſo called of being in the Weſt.
¶Note on Ward boundaries on Agas Map
