As
As for the Kings Armes imbroidred
upon the said Pulpit Cloth; it was
made, set on and freely given by Hum
frey Swan of this parish, Imbroiderer, in
remembrance of Gods great mercy ex
tended towards him, in the yeere of the
great visitation, 1625. for in that yeere
he had buried his wife, with divers of
his family; himselfe also, lying a long
while under the Lords heavy hand,
without all hope of recovery; by Gods
gracious providence hee was at the last
restored to his former health. In regard
whereof, and to expresse his further
thankefulnesse to Almighty God, hee
adorned the said Pulpit Cloth as now
it is.

of Saint Buttolph, among other benevo
lences given thereto, may not be omit

Hobby, Citizen and Ale-brewer of Lon

Hobby, which hee caused to bee foun
ded at his owne cost and charges:
And afterwards to bee re-cast two se
verall times, onely to make it tunable
with the other Bells in the Steeple;
which was performed accordingly, and
they are now as perfect and pleasing a
ring of Bels, as can be wished.

When hee gave this Bell to the Pa

that had borne any place of eminence
and office in the Parish, and afterward
hapned (by any crosse or misadventure)
to fall in decay: That yet hee should
have the benefit of this Bels service free

paying any costs or duties therefore to
the Church. No doubt but this man
had an honest meaning, and most cha

(which was in merriment, and when he
expected not place of degree or office to
fall on him) and likewise in the perfor

could bee. Let his worthy example in

Church.

Saint Marie Spittle, founded by Walter
Brune, and Rosia his wife, for Canons
regular; Walter, Archdeacon of London,
laid the first stone in the yeere 1197.
William of Saint Mary Church, then
Bishop of London, dedicated it to the
honour
honour of Iesus Christ, and his Mother
the perpetuall Virgin Mary by the
name of Domus Dei, and Beatae Mariae, ex
tra Bishopsgate, in the parish of S Buttolph,
the bounds whereof, as appeareth by
composition betwixt the Parson & Prior
of the said Hospitall, concerning tithes,
beginneth at Berwards lane toward the
south & extendeth in breadth to the Pa
rish of S. Leonard of Sores ditch towards
the North,
Soreditch so called more than 400. yeers since.
and in length, from the
Kings streete on the West to the Bi
shops of Londons field, called Lollesworth
on the East. The Prior of this Saint Ma
ry Spittle, for the emortising and pro
priation of the Priory of Bikenacar in
Essex, to his said house of S. Mary Spit
tle, gave to Henry the seventh 400. l.
in the two and twentieth of his reigne.
This Hospitall surrendred to Henry the
eighth, was valued to dispend 478. l.
wherein was found, besides ornaments
of the Church, and other goods pertai
ning to the Hospitall, 180. beds well
furnished, for receipt of the poore: for
it was an Hospitall of great reliefe. Sir
Henry Plesington, Knight, was buried
there, 1452.
In place of this Hospitall,
and neere
adjoyning, are now many faire houses
builded, for receipt and lodging of wor
shipfull persons. A part of the large
Church-yard pertaining to this Hospi
tall, and severed from the rest with a
Brick wall, yet remaineth as of old time,
with a Pulpit Crosse therein, somewhat
like to that in Pauls Church-yard. And
against the said Pulpit on the South side
before the Charnell and Chappell of
Saint Edmond the Bishop, and Mary
Magdalen, which Chappell was foun
ded about the yeere 1391. by W. Eue
sham, Citizen and Peperer of London,
who was there buried; remaineth also
one faire builded house of two stories in
height for the Maior, and other hono
rable persons, with the Aldermen and
Sheriffes to sit in, there to heare the
Sermons preached in the Easter holy
dayes. In the Loft over them stood the
Bishop of London, and other Prelates;
but now the Ladies, and Aldermens
Wives doe there stand at a faire Win
dow, or sit at their pleasure.

And here is to bee noted, that time
out of minde, it hath beene a laudable
custome, that on good Fryday in the af
ter-noone, some especiall learned man,
by appointment of the Prelates, hath
preached a Sermon at Pauls Crosse,
treating of Christs passion: and upon
the three next Easter Holydayes, Mun
day, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the like
learned men, by the like appointment,
have used to preach on the forenoones
at the said Spittle, to perswade the Ar
ticle of Christs resurection: and then
on Low Sunday, one other learned man
at Pauls Crosse, to make rehearsall of
those foure former Sermons, either
commending or reproouing them, as to
him (by iudgement of the learned Di
vines) was thought convenient. And
that done, he was to make a Sermon of
his owne studie, which in all were fiue
Sermons in one. At these Sermons so
severally preached, the Maior with his
Brethren the Aldermen were accusto
med to bee present in their Violets at
Pauls on good Fryday, and in their

except Wednesday, in Violet, and the
Maior with his Brethren on Low Sun

Touching the Antiquity of this
Custome, I find that in the yeere 1398.
King Richard having procured from
Rome, confirmation of such statutes, and
ordinances, as were made in the Parlia
ment, begun at Westminster, and ended
at Shrewsbury, he caused the same con
firmation to be read and pronounced at
Pauls Crosse and at Saint Mary Spittle,
in the Sermons before all the people.
Philip Malpas one of the Sheriffes in
the yeere 1439. gave 20. shillings by the
yeere to the three Preachers at the Spit
le.
1594. gave forty pounds to the Prea
chers of Pauls Crosse and Spittle. I
finde also, that the aforesaid house,
wherein the Maior and Aldermen doe
sit at the Spittle, was builded (for that
purpose) or the goods, and by the exe
cutors of Rich. Rawson Alderman, and
Isabel his wife, in the yeere 1488. In the
yeere 1594. this Pulpit being old, was
taken downe, and a new one set up, the
Preachers face turned towards the
South, which was before toward the
West. Also a large house (on the East
side of the said Pulpit) was then buil
ded, for the Governours and Children
of Christs Hospitall to sit in: and this
was done of the goods of William Elkin
Alderman, late deceased. But within the
first yeere, the same house decaying,
and like to have fallen, was againe (with
great cost) repaired at the Cities charge.

Here I may not omit an especiall mat

On the East side of this Churchyard ly

the Emperour then reigning: some of

some of Nere, of Antoninus Pius, of Tra

many other pots were found in the same

to be buried full of some liquid matter,

(being of great timber) were consumed.
Divers great Nayles of Iron were there
found, such as are used in the Wheeles
of shod Carts, being each of them as
big as a mans finger, and a quarter of a

Those Nayles were more wondred at
than the rest of the things there sound,
and many opinions of men were there
uttered of them, namely, that the men
there buried, were murthered by dri

But to set downe what I have obser
ved concerning this matter, I there be
held the bones of a man lying (as I no

head, along both his sides, and thwart
his feet) such Nayles were found. Wher
fore I conjectured them to be the nayles
of his Coffin, which had been a trough,
cut out of some great tree, and the same
covered with a planke of a great thick
nesse, fastened with such Nayles, and
therfore I caused some of the Nayles to
be reached up to me; and found under
the broad heads of them, the old wood,
skant turned into earth, but still retai
ning both the graine and proper colour.
Of these Nayles (with the wood under
the head thereof) I reserved one, as al
so the nether jaw-bone of the man, the
teeth being great, sound, and fixed,
which (amongst many other Monu
ments there found) I have yet to shew;
but the Nayle lying dry, is by scaling
greatly wasted. And thus much for this
part of Bishopsgate Ward, without the

And first to begin on the left hand of
Bishopsgate street,
certaine Tenements of old time pertai
ning to a brotherhood of St. Nicholas,
granted to the Parish Clarkes of London
for two Chaplens to bee kept in the
Chappell of St. Mary Magdalen, neere
unto the Guild hall of London, in the 27.
of Henry the sixth. The first of these
house towards the North, and against
the Wall of the City, was sometime a
large Inne or Court, called the Wrastlers
of such a signe, and the last in the high
street towards the South, was sometime
also a faire Inne called the Angel, of such
a signe. Amongst these said Tenements
was (on the same street side) a faire En
try or Court to the common Hall of the
said Parish Clarks, with proper Almes-houses,
seven in number, adjoyning, for
Parish Clarkes, and their Wives, their
Widdowes, such as were in great yeeres
not able to labour. One of these, by the
said Brotherhood of Parish Clarkes,
was allowed sixteene pence the weeke,
the other sixe had each of them nine
pence the weeke, according to the Pa
tent thereof granted. This Brotherhood
(amongst other) being suppressed: In
the reigne of Edward the sixth, the said
Hall with the other buildings there, was
given to Sir Robert Chester, a Knight of
Cambridge-shire, against whom the Pa
rish Clarkes commencing sute, in the
reigne of Queen Mary, and being like to
have prevailed, the said Sir Robert Che

ber, stone and lead, and thereupon the
sute was ended. The Almes-houses re

make best friends. Some of them ta

Running southeast from Bishopsgate Street to Aldgate Street outside the city wall, Houndsditch Street passed through Bishopsgate Ward and Portsoken Ward. It was first paved in 1603 (Harben 311). Houndsditch Street took its name from nearby Houndsditch. Stow refers to the neighbourhood surrounding Houndsditch Street asHoundsditch
:(within the limits of Hounds-ditch) dwell many a good and honest Citizen
(Stow 1633, sig. M1v).Houndsditch Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bishopsgate Street
Bishopsgate Street ran north from Cornhill Street to the southern end of Shoreditch Street at the city boundary. South of Cornhill, the road became Gracechurch Street, and the two streets formed a major north-south artery in the eastern end of the walled city of London, from London Bridge to Shoreditch. Important sites included: Bethlehem Hospital, a mental hospital, and Bull Inn, a place where plays were performedbefore Shakespeare’s time
(Weinreb and Hibbert 67).Bishopsgate Street 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. Paul’s Cathedral
St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. The church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again. An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would become the cathedral of St. Paul’s which survived until the Great Fire of London.St. Paul’s Cathedral is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Christ Church is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cornhill Ward
Cornhill Ward is west of Bishopsgate Ward and south of Broad Street Ward. According to Stow, the ward and its principle street, Cornhill, are named after acorne Market
once held there.Note: Cornhill and Cornhill Ward are nearly synonymous in terms of location and nomenclature - thus, it can be a challenge to tell one from the other. Topographical decisions have been made to the best of our knowledge and ability.Cornhill Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Fisher’s Folly
Fisher’s Folly was a large house on the east side of Bishopsgate Street, within the boundary of Bishopsgate Ward and a few houses away from the Dolphin Inn. Fisher’s Folly is not marked on the Agas map. By 1620, the house was occupied by the Earls of Devonshire and was renamedDevonshire House
(Harben 196).Fisher’s Folly is mentioned in the following documents:

Moorfields
A low-lying marshy area just northeast of Moorgate and on the way to the Curtain, Moorfields was home to a surprising range of activities and accompanying cultural associations in early modern London. Beggars and the mentally ill patients of neighbouring Bethlehem Hospital often frequented the area. Some used the public space to bleach and dry linen, and the Honorable Artillery Company also used it as an official training ground. Moorfields was even a popular suburban destination for ice skating when its water froze during the winter. Moorfields was generallyfull of noysome waters
(Stow 2:77) until 1605–1607, when it was successfully drained, levelled, and beautified with tree-lined pedestrian pathways. At this point, it transformed into a fashionable place for the genteel to see and to be seen. The history of Moorfields provides insight into social, political, environmental, and medical issues in early modern London.Moorfields is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bethlehem Hospital
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:
-
Hog Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Mary Spital
St. Mary Spital was an Augustinian Priory and Hospital on the east side of Bishopsgate Street. The Priory dates from 1197. The old precinct of St. Mary Spital is visible on the Agas map. The church itself was demolished after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539. By the time the Agas map was drawn, many of the priory buildings had been removed and the area appears sparse.St. Mary Spital is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Gravel Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Wall
Originally built as a Roman fortification for the provincial city of Londinium in the second century C.E., the London Wall remained a material and spatial boundary for the city throughout the early modern period. Described by Stow ashigh and great
(Stow 1:8), the London Wall dominated the cityscape and spatial imaginations of Londoners for centuries. Increasingly, the eighteen-foot high wall created a pressurized constraint on the growing city; the various gates functioned as relief valves where development spilled out to occupy spacesoutside the wall.
The Wall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Deep Ditch
Running north-to-south, Deep Ditch was the boundary between the Moorfields and Bethlehem Hospital. Henry Harben describes the history of the site as follows:In Agas’ map a stream is shown here flowing into the City Ditch, which may be the remains of the Walbrook, the bed of which has been found under Blomfield Street, and might be referred to by Stow at that time as a ditch Gap in transcription. Reason: Editorial omission for reasons of length or relevance. Use only in quotations in born-digital documents. ()[…] It had been filled up in this part of its course, and had disappeared by 1658 Gap in transcription. Reason: Editorial omission for reasons of length or relevance. Use only in quotations in born-digital documents. ()[…] (Harben 195)
Deep Ditch is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Christ’s Hospital
Located in Farringdon Within Ward, Christ’s Hospital was a opened in 1552 as a home for London’s needy children. Inspired by the preaching of Dr. Nicholas Ridley, Edward VI decided to charter the hospital days before his death in 1553 (Manzione 33). Although it began as a hospital, Christ’s Hospital eventually became known for its respected school (Pearce 206).Christ’s Hospital is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Dolphin Inn (Bishopsgate) is mentioned in the following documents:

Greyfriars
Enduring for over three centuries, longer than any other London friary, Greyfriars garnered support from both England’s landed elite and common Londoners. Founded in 1225 on a tenament donated by London Mercer John Iwyn, Greyfriars housed London’s Franciscan Friars (known in England as the Grey Friars). The friary expanded from its original pittance of land on the west side of Stinking Lane to over four-and-a-half acres by 1354. With the patronage of Queens Margaret, Isabella, and Philippa throughout the fourteenth century, the Franciscans constructed a formidable church, London’s third largest after St. Paul’s and Westminster Abbey. After the friary’s closure in 1538 pursuant to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the church became the centre of the newly established Christ Church parish, and the cloisters housed Christ’s Hospital (Holder 66–96).Greyfriars 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:

Former Student Contributors
We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
