A significant landmark on Basing Lane
was the hostelry called Gerrard’s Hall of a Gyant sayd to haue dwelled
there
(Stow). In the hall of the
building, partly subdivided by vsed in the warres to runne withall
,
but then points out that the name is likely a corruption of Gysors Hall,
from John Gisors (Mayor in 1245) and his descendants who owned the hall.
Out of this Gisors hall, at the first
building thereof, were made diuers arched doors, yet to be seene, which
seeme not sufficient for any great monster, or other then men of common
stature to passe through
(Stow). Of
the pole and ladder, he suggests that the pole in the hall might be vsed of
old time (as then the custome was in euery parish) to be set vp in the
Summer as May-Pole, before the principall house in the Parrish or Streete,
and to stand in the hall before the scrine, decked with holme & Iuy, all
the feast of Christmas. The ladder serued for the decking of the may-pole,
and roofe of the hall
(Stow).
