WARDS ON THE
VVEST SIDE OF
WALBROOKE:
AND FIRST,
OF VINTRIE VVARD.
NOw I am to speak of
the other Wards,
Wards on the VVest side of Walbrooke, and first, of Vintrie VVard.
12.
in number, all lying on
the West side of the
course of Walbrook: and
first of the Vintry ward,
so called of Vintners, and of the Vin
trie, a part of the banke of the River of
Thames, where the Merchants of Burde
aux, craned their Wines out of Ligh
ters, and other Vessels, and there lan
ded and made sale of them, within for
ty dayes after, untill the twenty eighth
of Edward the first, at which time the
said Merchants complained, that they
could not sell their wines, paying poun
dage, neither hire houses or cellars to
lay them in: and it was redressed by
vertue of the Kings Writ, directed to
the Maior and Sheriffes of London, da
ted at Carlaveroke, or Carlile. Since the
which time, many faire and large hou
ses (with Vaults and Cellars for stow
age of VVines, and lodging of Bur
deaux Merchants) have beene builded,
in place where before time were Cooks
houses: for Fitzstephen, in the reigne of
Henry the second, writeth, that upon
the Rivers side, betweene the VVine in
Ships, and the VVine to be sold in Ta
vernes, was a common Cookes Row,
&c. as in another place I have set down.
wherby it apeares, that in those daies,
(and till of late time) every man lived
according to his owne professed Trade,
Every man lived by his se
verall pro
fessed trade.

not any one interrupting another. The
Cookes dressed meat, and sold no wine;
and the Taverner sold wine, but dres
sed no meat for sale, &c.
This VVard beginneth in the East,
at the West end of Downegate Ward, at
the water-course of Walbrooke, which
parteth them, to wit, at Granthams lane ,
on the Thames side, and at Elbow lane,
on the Land side: it runneth along in
Thames street, West, some three hou
ses beyond the Old Swan, a Brewhouse,
and on the Land side, some three hou
ses West, beyond Saint Iames at Gar
licke hithe.
In breadth, this VVard stretcheth
from the Vintrie North, to the wall of
the West gate of the Tower Royall: the
other North part is of Cordwainer street
Ward.
Out of this Royall street by the South
gate of Tower-Royall, runneth a small
street, East to Saint Iohns upon Wal
brooke,
Horshoo-bridge street
which street is called Horse
shoo-bridge, of such a bridge sometime
over the brooke there, which is now
vaulted over.
Then from the South gate West,
runneth one other street,
Knight-ri
ders street.
called Knight-riders
street, by Saint Thomas Apostles
Church, on the North side, and Wring
wren lane, by the said Church, at the
West end thereof, and to the East end
of the Trinity Church in the said Knight-riders
street, where this Ward endeth
on that South side the street: but on the
North side, it runneth no farther than
the corner against the new builded Ta
verne, and other houses, in a plot of
ground where sometime stood Or
mond place. Yet have yee one other
lane lower downe in Royall streete,

Saint Michaels Church, to and by the
North side of Saint Iames Church by
Garlicke hith,
Kerion lane.
this is called Kerion lane:
And thus much for the bounds of the
Vintrie Ward. Now on the Thames side
west from Granthams lane, have ye Her
bert lane,
Brickles lane.
or Brickles lane, so called of
Iohn Brikles, sometimes owner there
of.
Then is Simpsons lane,

of one Simpson;
or Emperours-head lane, of such a signe:
then the Three Cranes lane, so called, not
onely of a signe of three Cranes at a Ta
verne doore, but rather of three strong
Cranes of Timber, placed on the Vin
trie wharfe by the Thames side, to crane
up Wines there, as is afore shewed:
this Lane was of old time, to wit, the 9.
of Richard the second,
Painted Ta
verne,1 or three Cranes lane.
called the Pain
ted Taverne lane, of the Taverne being
painted.
Then next over against Saint Mar
tins Church, is a large house builded of
stone and timber, with vaults for the
stowage of wines,
The Vintry Record.
and is called the Vin
trie. There dwelled Iohn Gisers, Vint
ner, Maior of London, and Constable of
the Tower, and then was Henry Picard,
Vintner, Maior. In this house Henry
Picard feasted foure Kings in one day; as
in my Summary I have shewed.
Then next is Vannars lane,
Vanners Lane.
so called of
one Vannar that was owner thereof, it is
now called Church lane, of the comming
up from S. Martins Church.
Next is Broad lane, for that the same is
broader for the passage of Carts from
the Vintrie Wharfe,
Broad lane.
than be the other
lanes. At the North-west corner of this
lane is the Parish-Clerks Hall,
Parish Clerks Hall.
lately by
them purchased, since they lost their old
Hall in Bishopsgate street. Next is Spit
tle lane, of old time so called; since, Sto
dies lane,
Stodies lane
of the owner thereof, named
Stodie. Sir Iohn Stodie, Vintner, Mai
or in the yeere 1357. gave it, with all
the Quadrant wherein Vintners Hall
now standeth,
Vintners Hall.
with the Tenements
round about, unto the Vintners: the
Vintners builded for themselves a faire
Hall,
Almes-houses of the Vint
ners.
and also 13. Almes-houses there,
for 13. poore people, which are kept of
charity, rent-free.
The Vintners in London were (of old
time) called Merchants Vintners of
Gascoyne, and so I reade them in the
records of Edward the 2. the 11. yeere,
and Edward the 3. the ninth yeere, they
were as well Englishmen, as strangers
borne beyond the Seas, but then subjects
to the King of England, great Burdeaux
Merchants of Gascoyne and French wines;
divers of them were Maiors of this Ci
tie; namely, Ioh. Adrian, Vintner, Reig
nold at Conduit, Iohn Oxenford, Henry
Picard, that feasted the Kings of Eng
land, France, Scotland, and Cypres: Ioh
Stodie, that gave Stodies lane to the Vint
ners: which foure last named, were
Maiors in the reign of Edward the third,
and yet Gascoyne Wines were then to
be sold at London, not above 4. pence,
nor Rhenish Wines above 6. pence the
Gallon.
I reade of sweet Wines, that in the
50. of Edward the third, Iohn Peachie,
Fishmonger, was accused, for that hee
procured a Licence for the onely sale of
them in London: which notwithstan
ding he justified by Law, he was impri
soned and fined.
More I read, that in the 6. of Hen. 6.
the Lombards corrupting their sweet
Wines, when knowledge thereof came
to Iohn Rainwell, Maior of London, hee
(in divers places of the Citie) comman
ded the heads of the Buts and other ves
sels, in the open streets, to be broken, to
the number of one hundred and fifty, so
that the liquor running forth, passed
thorow the Citie like a streame of raine
water, in the sight of all the people;
from whence there issued a most loath
some savour.
I read in the reigne of Henry the 7.
that no sweet VVines were brought in
to this Realme, but Malmsies, by the
Longobards, paying to the King for his
Licence, 6. s. 8. d. of every But, besides
12. d. for Bottell-large. I remember,
within these 54. yeeres, Malmsey not
to be sold above 1. d. ob. the pint. For
proofe whereof, it appeareth in the
Church-Booke of S. Andrew Vndershaft,
that in the yeere 1547. I. G. and S. K.
then Church-wardens, for 80. pints of
Malmsey, spent in the Church, after 1. d.
halfepenny the pint, paid at the yeeres
end for the same tenne shillings.
More I remember, that no Sackes
were sold, but Rumney, and that for Me
dicine more than for drinke: but now

many kindes of Sackes are knowne and
used. And so much for Wines.
For the Vintrie,
The Kings sonnes supped in the Vintrie
to end therewith, I
read, that in the reigne of Henry the 4.
the yong Prince Henry, T. Duke of Cla
rence, I. Duke of Bedford, and Humfrey
Duke of Glocester, the Kings sonnes, be
ing at supper amongst the Merchants
of London in the Vintrie, in the house of
Lewes Iohn,
Hen. Scogan
Henry Scogan sent to them
a Ballad, beginning thus:
My Noble Sonnes,
and oke my Lords deare,
I your Father
called unworthily,

this Ballad following here,
Written with mine
owne hand full rudely:
Although it be,
that I not reverently

For Gods sake,
and hearken what I say.
Then follow in like Meeter, 23. staves,
containing a perswasion from losing of

Then is the Old Swan,

And this is all, on the Thames
side, that I can note in this Ward.
On the Land side, is the Royall street,
and Pater noster Lane,
Pater noster Lane,
I thinke of old
time called Arches: for I read, that Ro
bert de Suffolke gave to Walter Darford,
L. S. Mary Overie.

his tenement with the appurtenance, in
the Lane called Les Arches, in the parish
of S. Michael de Pater noster Church, be
tweene the wall of the Field called Win
chester field, on the East, and the same
Lane on the West, &c. More I reade
of a stone House, called Stoda de Win
ton, juxta Stodum bridge, which in that
Lane was over Walbrooke water.
Then is the faire Parish Church of
S. Michael,
Parish Church of S. Miihael de Pater no
ster, a Col
ledge, one Almes
house or Hospitall.
called Pater noster Church
in the Royall. This Church was new
builded, and made a Colledge of S.
Spirit, and S. Mary, founded by Richard
Whittington, Mercer, foure times Maior,
for a Master, foure Fellowes, Masters of
Art, Clerkes, Conducts, Chorists, &c.
and an Almes-house, called Gods house
or Hospitall, for thirteene poore men,
one of them to be Tutor, and to have 16
pence the weeke, the other twelve, each
of them to have 14. pence the weeke
for ever, with other necessary provisi
on, an Hutch with three lockes, a com
mon scale, &c.
These were bound to pray for the
good estate of Richard Whittington, and
Alice his wife; their Founders; and for
Sir William VVhittington,
R. VVhit
ttington, tington, son to Sir VV. VVhitting
ton, Knight.
Knight, and
Dame Ioan his wife; and for Hugh Fitz
warren, and Dame Molde his wife, the
Fathers and Mothers of the said Richard
VVhittington, and Alice his wife; for
King Richard the second, and Thomas of
Woodslocke, Duke of Glocester, speciall
Lords and Promoters of the said Richard
VVhittington, &c.
The Licence for this foundation was
granted by King Henry the fourth, the
eleventh of his reign: and in the twelfth
of the same Kings reigne, the Maior
and Communalty of London, granted to
Richard VVhittington a vacant peece of
ground, thereon to build his Colledge
in the Royall: all which was confirmed
by Henry the 6. the third of his reigne,
to Iohn Coventry, Ienkin Carpenter, and
VVilliam Grove, Executors to Richard
VVhittington.
This foundation was againe confir
med by Parliament, the tenth of Henry
the sixth, and was suppressed by the
Statute of Edward the sixth. The Almes
houses, with the poore men, doe re

first, by
his Executors, under a faire Monument:
then, in the reigne of Edward the sixth,
the Parson of that Church, thinking
some great riches (as he said) to be bu
ried with him, caused his Monument
to be broken, his body to be spoiled of
his Leaden sheet, and againe the se
cond time to be buried. And in the
reigne of Queene Mary, the Parishio
ners were forced to take him up, to lap
him in Lead, as afore, to bury him the
third time, and to place his Monument,
or the like, over him againe, which re
maineth, and so he resteth.

At the upper end of this Street,
Tower-Roy
all builded about Hen
ry the 1. as may bee supposed.
is
the Tower Royall, whereof that street ta
keth name. This Tower and great place
was so called, of pertaining to the Kings
of this Realme:
King Ste
phen was lodged there.
but by whom the same
was first builded, or of what Antiquity
continued, I have not read more, than
that in the reigne of King Edward 1. se
cond, fourth, and seventh yeeres, it was
the tenement of Simon Beawmes. Also,
that in the 36. of Edward the third, the
same was called the Royall, in the Parish
of S. Michael de Pater noster,
Frosard.
and that
in the three and fortieth of his Reigne,
he gave it by the name of his Inne, cal
led the Royall,2 in his Citie of London, in
value twenty pounds by yeere, unto his
Colledge of S. Stephen at Westminster.
Notwithstanding, in the reigne of Ri
chard the second, it was called The
Queene Wardrobe, as appeareth by this
that followeth:
King Richard, having in Smithfield o
vercome and dispersed the Rebels, hee,

entered the
City of London, with great joy, and went
to the Lady Princesse his Mother, who was
then lodged in the Tower-Royall, called
the Queenes Wardrope, where shee had
remained three dayes and two nights, right
sore abashed. But when shee saw the King
her Sonne, she was greatly rejoyced and said,
Ah Sonne, what great sorrow have I suffe
red for you this day! The King answered
and said; Certainely, Madame, I know it
well, but now rejoyce, and thanke God, for
I have this day recovered mine heritage,
and the Realme of England, which I had
neere-hand lost.
This Tower seemeth to have beene
(at that time) of good defence, for when
the Rebels had beset the Tower of Lon
don and got possession thereof, taking
from thence whom they listed, as in my
Annales I have shewed; the Princesse
being force to flye, came to this Tow
er Royall▪ where shee was lodged, and
remained safe as yee have heard, and it
may bee also supposed, that the King
himselfe was at that time lodged there.
I reade, that in the yeere 1386. Lyon
King of Armony, being chased out of
his Realme by the Tartarians, received
innumerable gifts of the King and of his
Nobles,
King Ri
chard lod
ged in the Tower-Royall.
the King then lying in the Roy
all, where hee also granted to the said
King of Armony, a Charter of a thou
sand pounds by yeere during his life.
This for proofe may suffice, that Kings
of England have beene lodged in this
Tower, though the same (of later time)
hath been neglected, and turned into
stabling for the Kings, horses, and now
letten out to divers men, and divided
into Tenements.
In Horse-bridge street is the Cutlers
Hall,
Culters Hall.

Citizen and Merchant-Taylor of
London, who departed this life 1. De
cemb. 1625. and left issue 4. Sonnes,
(viz.) John, George, Henry and Ri
chard:
Hee lived and dyed in the true
faith of Christ Iesus, which he hath amply
expressed, in a worthy annuall contribu
tion towards the poore of this Parish.
Then West from the said Church on
the same side,
Ipres Inne.
was one great Messuage,
sometime called Ipres Inne, of William of
Ipres a Flemming, the first builder there
of. This William was called out of Flan
ders,
King Ste
phen lod
ged in the Tower-Royall.
with a number of Flemmings to the
aide of King Stephen, against Maude the
Empresse, in the yeere 1138. and grew
in favour with the said King for his ser
vice, so farre, that he builded this house
neere unto Tower-Royall, in the which
Tower it seemeth the King was then
lodged, as in the heart of the City, for
his more safety.
Robert Earle of Glocester, Brother to
the Empresse, being taken, was com
mitted to the custody of this William, to
be kept in the Castle of Rochester, till
King Stephen was also taken, and then
the one was delivered in exchange for
the other, and both set free: This Wil
liam of Ipres gave Edredes Hith, now
called Queenes Hith, to the Prior and
Canons of the holy Trinity in London:
he founded the Abbey of Borley in Kent,
&c. In the first of Henry the second, the
said William, with all the other Flem
mings (fearing the indignation of the
new King) departed the Land, but it
seemeth that the said William was short
ly called back againe, and restored both
to the Kings favour, and to his old pos
sessions here, so that the name and fami
ly continued long after in this Realme,
as may appeare by this which follow
eth.
In the yeere 1377. the 51. of Edward
the third, the Citizens of London min
ding to have destroyed Iohn of Gaunt,
Duke of Lancaster, and Henry Percy
Marshall, (for causes shewed in my Annals)
sought up and downe, and could not finde
them, for they were that day to dine with
Iohn of Ipres at his Inne, which the Lon
doners wist not of, but thought the Duke
and Marshall had beene at the Savoy, and
therefore poasted thither. But one of the
Dukes Knights seeing these things, came in
great haste to the place where the Duke was,
and after that hee had knocked, and could
not be let in, he said to Haveland the Por
ter, If thou love my Lord and thy life, open
the Gate: with which words hee gat entry,
and with great feare he tels the Duke, that
without the gate were infinite numbers of
armed men, and unlesse he tooke great heed,
that day would bee his last. With which
words the Duke leapt so hastily from his Oy
sters, that he hurt both his legs against the
forme: VVine was offered, but hee could
not drinke for haste, and so fled with his fel
low Henry Percy out at a backe gate, and
entring upon the Thames, never stayed
rowing, untill they came to a house neere

Brewer,
A comely Monumēt in the wall of the South Ile.
and sometime chosen Sheriffe of
London. The Founder of a free School,
and sixe Almes-houses, in Aldenham,
in the County of Hertford. Hee dyed
the 28. of November, 1600. having ta
ken to wife Alice Birtles, the daughter
of John Birtles, Esquire, and having is
sue foure sons and one daughter.
Here Edmund Chapman,
In the same wall a comely Monumēt.
clos’d in clay,
undoubtedly doth rest,
Who to his Neighbours (while he liv’d)
the fruits of love exprest:
Fine Pewes within this Church he made,
and with his Armes support,
The Table, and the Seats in Quire,
hee set in comely sort.
To Prisoners, and to Hospitals,
hee living, was a friend,
And ever sought, the innocent
from danger to defend.
Esquier-Ioyner to our Queene,
hee in his life time was,
And Yeoman of her Armory
at Greenwitch, in like case:
VVherein hee like a servant just,
for duty duly done,
Vnto himselfe of Prince and Peeres
the love and favour wonne.
Threescore seven yeeres hee lived here,
in worship and good name,
And left this life, to live with Christ,
to his eternall fame.
His Soule, the fourteenth day of May,
did from his body fleet,
Which he with cheerefull voyce did yeeld
to Christ his Saviour sweet:
And on the eighteenth of that moneth,
by computation just,
A thousand five hundred eighty eight,
his body was laid in dust.
But body and soule at last, be sure,
through Gods abundant grace,
Shall rise, and knit againe in one,
and stand before his face:
Where, with his Saints elect (we hope)
hee shall receive a Crowne,
And live for ever with sweet Christ,
in glory and renowne.
Thus, friends (by this deare friend of ours)
let’s learne to live and dye,
That after death wee may have life
above the starry skie.
And thus an end of Vintrie Ward, which
