Colechurch Street
Colechurch Street was located in the Parish of St. Olave, Old Jewry and ran north-south from Lothbury to Poultry (Harben). Harben mentions the possibility of
Colechurchstreteor
Colechurch Lanebeing the former name of a joined together Coleman Street and Old Jewry in the 13th century (Harben). However, Stow identifies Colechurch Street with Old Jewry only, saying,
Cole-church street, or Old Iewrieand Carlin and Belcher’s 1270 map has a
Colechurchstretein place of Old Jewry with
Colemanstretelabelled separately above it (Carlin and Belcher; Stow 1633, sig. 2B6r). Our Agas coordinates are based on the resulting assumption that Colechurch Street only covered the area of modern Old Jewry.
