The
Broad Street Ward is west of Bishopsgate Ward. It is named after its principle street, Broad Street.
All Hallows, London Wall is a church built east of
Bishopsgate, near or on the City Wall. The church is visible on the Agas map
northwest of Broad Street and up against the south
side of the City Wall. The label All Haloues in y Wall
is west of the church. In
his description of Broad Street Ward,
Moorgate was one of the major gates in the Wall of London (Sugden). It was situated in the northern part of the Wall, flanked by Cripplegate and Bishopsgate. Clearly labelled as More Gate
on the Agas map, it stood near the intersection of London Wall street and Coleman Street (Sugden; Stow 1598, sig. C6v). It adjoined Bethlehem Hospital, and the road through it led into Finsbury Field (Rocque) and Mallow Field.
Broad Street ran north-south from All Hallows, London Wall to Threadneedle Street and to a Pumpe ouer against Saint Bennets church
(Stow). Broad Street, labelled Brode Streat
on the Agas map, was entirely in
Broad Street Ward. The street’s name was a
reference to its width and importance (Harben).
PLACEHOLDER LOCATION ITEM. The purpose of this item is to allow encoders to link to a location item when they cannot add a new location file for some reason. MoEML may still be seeking information regarding this entry. If you have information to contribute, please contact the MoEML team.
St. Peter le Poor was a parish church on the west
side of Broad Street. It is visible on the Agas
map south of Austin Friars, bearing the number 24.
That it was sometime peraduenture a poore Parish
gave it the name le Poor
(Stow). Its name distinguished it
from the other London churches dedicated to St. Peter. at
this present there be many fayre houses, possessed by rich marchants and other
near the church, suggesting
that the parish was no longer impoverished (Stow).
Austin Friars was a church on the west side of Broad Street in Broad
Street Ward. It was formerly part of the Priory of Augustine Friars, established in 1253. At the dissolution
of the monastery in 1539, the West end [of the church] thereof inclosed from
the steeple, and Quier, was in the yeare 1550. graunted to the Dutch Nation in
London [by
(Stow). The Quier
and side Isles to the Quier adioyning, he reserued to housholde vses, as for
stowage of corne, coale, and other things
(Stow). The church, completely rebuilt in the nineteenth century and
then again mid-way through the twentieth century, still belongs to Dutch
Protestants to this day.
Throgmorton Street was in Broad Street Ward and ran east-west from Broad Street to Lothbury and Bartholomew Lane. Throgmorton Street appears unlabelled on the Agas map running west
from Broad Street, under the Drapers’ Hall.
Draper’s Hall was a livery company hall on the
north side of Throgmorton Street in Broad Street Ward. On the Agas map, Drapers’ Hall appears as a large house with three
round towers, thus resembling the architecture of Hampton Court Palace and some
of the college gates at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
Bartholomew Lane was in Broad Street Ward and ran north-south from the junction of Throgmorton Street and Lothbury to Threadneedle Street. Bartholomew Lane is visible on the Agas map running
southeast on the west side of St. Bartholomew by the
Exchange. It is labelled bar eelmew
la
.
Located in Broad Street Ward and Cornhill Ward, the Royal Exchange was opened in
Threadneedle Street ran east-west from Bishopsgate Street to Cornhill and the Stocks Market. It
passed the north end of the Royal Exchange and was
entirely in Broad Street Ward. Threadneedle Street, also called
Finch Lane (labelled Finke la.
on the Agas map) was a small north-south lane that ran between Threadneedle Street and Cornhill. The north half of the lane was in Broadstreet Ward and the latter half was in Cornhill Ward. It is likely that the lane is named after
The Stocks Market was a significant market for fish and flesh
in early modern London, located south of Poultry, north of Bucklersbury, and west of Walbrook Street in Cornhill Ward (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). The building of the Stocks Market was commissioned by
the only fixed pair of stocks in the city(Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). It was destroyed in the Great Fire, rebuilt, and then replaced in
According to
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 high 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 spaces
The city of London, not to be confused with the allegorical character (
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 performed before
(Weinreb and Hibbert
67).
St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In
St. Anthony’s Hospital was associated with the
parish of St. Benet Fink and was on the opposite side of Threadneedle Street from the church of the parish, St. Benet Fink.
According to the christians obtayned of the king that it should be
dedicated to our blessed Lady, and since an Hospital being there builded, was called S. Anthonies in
London
(Stow 1598, sig. K8v). The hospital
consisted of a church, almsnouse, and school.
Cornhill Ward is west of Bishopsgate Ward and south of Broad Street Ward. According to corne 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 was a significant thoroughfare and was part of the cityʼs main major east-west thoroughfare that divided the northern half of London from the southern half. The part of this thoroughfare named Cornhill extended from St. Andrew Undershaft to the three-way intersection of Threadneedle, Poultry, and Cornhill where the Royal Exchange was built. The name Cornhill
preserves a memory both of the cornmarket that took place in this street, and of the topography of the site upon
which the Roman city of Londinium was built.

The Little Conduit (Cheapside), also known as the Pissing Conduit, stood at the western end of Cheapside Street outside the north corner of Paul’s Churchyard. On the Agas map, one can see two water cans on the ground just to the right of the conduit.
St. Christopher le Stocks was originally built on Threadneedle Street on the banks of Walbrook before was dedicated to the patron saint of watermen
(Weinreb and Hibbert 751). The church has been known by many names, which include St. Christopher upon Cornhull
, St. Christopher in Bradestrete
, and St. Christopher near le Shambles
(Harben; BHO). Since the 14th century, the church has been known as some variant of St. Christopher le Stocks, which derives from its proximity to the Stocks Market. The church is not labelled, but is identifiable, on the Agas map.
The Great Conduit in Westcheap, which began construction in in triumphall manner
(Stow 1633, sig. C1r).
Gracechurch Street ran north-south from Cornhill Street near Leadenhall Market to the bridge. At the southern end, it was called
New Fish Street
. North of Cornhill, Gracechurch
continued as Bishopsgate Street, leading through
Bishop’s Gate out of the walled city into the
suburb of Shoreditch.
Cheap Ward is west of Bassinghall Ward and Coleman Street Ward. Both the ward and its main street, Cheapside, are named after West Cheap (the market).
