the inhabitants of the Townes about London, as Iseldone, Hox

hedges, and diches, that neither the young men of the citie might
shoote, nor the auncient persons walke for their pleasures in those
fieldes, but that eyther their Bowes and Arrowes were taken a
way or broken, or the honest persons arested or indighted: Saying,
that no Londoner ought to goe out of the Cittie, but in the high
wayes. This saying so greeued the Londoners, that suddainly this
yeare, a great number of the Citie, assembled themselues in a mor

Beyond the Barres had ye in olde time a Temple builded by
the Templers, whose order first began in the yeare of Christ
1118. in the 19. of Henry the first. This temple was left and fel
to ruine since the yeare 1184. when the Templers had builded
them a new Temple in Fléetstréet, neere to the riuer of Thames.
A great part of this olde Temple was pulled downe but of late in
the yeare 1595. The same was after the Bishoppe of Lincolnes
Inne, where he lodged when he repaired to the Cittie, and Iohn
Russell Bishop in Lincolne, Lord Chauncelor in the raigne of
Richard the 3. was lodged there. It hath of late yeares belonged
to the Earles of Southampton, and is therefore calledua Southam

- I.e., Bars by St. Mary Spital. (CH)↑
- Since Stow’s mention of St. Bartholomew’s Priory here is a part of his delineation of boundaries current to 1598, it is most likely that he means St. Bartholomew the Great but has referred to it as the late Priory because the dissolution of the monasteries was within living memory of the time in which Stow was writing. As such, we have tagged this toponym as St. Bartholomew the Great. (JZ)↑

Holy Well
James Bird’s Volume 8 of the Survey of London, Shoreditch, indicates that there were two wells on the property of Holywell Priory, one in the orchard and onein the middle of the inner court
(Bird 153-187). In a footnote, Bird indicates that the well in the orchard is most likely the one from which the priory and the district took its name (Bird 153-187n204). This is because Stow, in 1598, identifies Holy Well as beingmuch decayed and marred with filthinesse, purposely layd there, for the heighthening of the ground, for garden plots
and while it is possible that the orchard land was used for gardening plots, the inner court was never put to that purpose (Bird 153-187n204; Stow 1598, sig. B7v). By this reasoning, we assume that the well in the orchard of Holywell Priory is the one that bears the name Holy Well.Holy Well is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Clerkenwell is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Clement’s Well is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Tower of London is mentioned in the following documents:

St. Katherine’s Hospital
St. Katherine’s Hospital was a religious hospital founded in 1148. According to Stow, the hospital was founded by Queen Matilda. The hospital, the grounds of which contained a church, gardens, orchards, and residences, was at the southern end of St. Katherine’s Lane and north of the St. Katherine Steps, all of which is east of the Tower of London. Stow praised the choir of the hospital, noting how itwas not much inferior to that of [St.] Paules [Cathedral]
(Stow).St. Katherine’s Hospital is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Portsoken Ward
Portsoken Ward is east of Tower Street Ward and Aldgate Ward and is located outside the Wall. This ward was once called Knighten Guild, so named because the land which it encompasses was originally given to thirteen knights or soldiers who were the first members of the Knighten Guild, an order of chivalry founded by Edgar the Peaceful for valuable knights in his service. As the OED notes,portsoken
refers tothe district outside a city or borough, over which its jurisdiction extends
(OED portsoken, 1). It follows that this ward, one of the twenty-six wards of London and located outside of the Wall, was later known as Portsoken Ward.Portsoken Ward is mentioned in the following documents:

Ratcliffe is mentioned in the following documents:

East Smithfield
East Smithfield is a district located east of the City of London and northeast of the Tower of London. Its name derives fromsmoothfield ,
with the prefixeast
helping to differentiate it from the Smithfield northwest of Cripplegate (Harben). As time progressed, it transformed from what Stow describes as aplot of ground
with very few houses into a densely populated area by the mid-seventeenth century (Stow; Harben).East Smithfield is mentioned in the following documents:
-

Abbey of St. Clare
Founded in 1293 by Edmund, earl of Lancaster, the Abbey of St. Clare is also referred to in Stow’s Survey asthe Minories
(Stow 1633, sig. M2v), a name derived from the toponymthe Abbey of the Minoresses of St. Mary of the Order of St. Clare
(Harben 416). It occupied five acres of land. After the Abbey was surrendered to Henry VIII by Dame Elizabeth Salvage, the abbess, the site was occupied by the Parish Church of Holy Trinity, Minories until 1899 (Harben 151).Abbey of St. Clare is mentioned in the following documents:
-
City Ditch
The city ditch was part of London’s medieval defence system that ran along the outside of the wall from the Tower to Fleet River. According to Stow, the ditch was referred to as Houndsditch becausemuch filth (conveyed forth of the Citie) especially dead dogs, were there laid or cast
(Stow 1633, sig. M1v). The ditch was filled in and covered with garden plots by the time of Stow’s 1598 Survey.City Ditch is mentioned in the following documents:

St. George Southwark was located adjacent to Suffolk House, just south of the area depicted on the Agas map (Stow 1598, sig. Y8r). While there is no mention of the church in the 1086 Domesday Book, Stow notes that St. George Southwark was gifted to the Bermondsey Abbey by Thomas Arden and his son in 1122 (Stow 1598, sig. Y8v). As a result, St. George Southwark was probably constructed at the beginning of the twelfth century (Darlington).St. George Southwark is mentioned in the following documents:

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 without Bishopsgate (Stow 1:165).Bethlehem Hospital is mentioned in the following documents:

Shoreditch
A suburban neighbourhood located just north of Moorfields and outside Londonʼs City Wall, Shoreditch was a focal point of early modern theatrical culture. Following a boom in Londonʼs population from 1550 to 1600, the neighbourhood became a prime target for development. The building of the Theatre in 1576 and the Curtain in the following year established Shoreditchʼs reputation as Londonʼs premier entertainment district, and the neigbourhood also featured a growing number of taverns, alehouses, and brothels. These latter establishments were often frequented by local players, of whom many prominent members were buried on the grounds of nearby St. Leonardʼs Church. Today, Shoreditch faces the potential revival of its early modern theatrical culture through the efforts of the Museum of London Archaeology and the Tower Hamlets Theatre Company.Shoreditch is mentioned in the following documents:
