orColechurch Lane
being the former name of a joined together Coleman Street and Old Jewry in the thirteenth century (Harben). However, Stow identifies Colechurch Street with Old Jewry only, saying,Cole-church street, or Old Iewrie
and Carlin and Belcher’s 1270 map has aColechurchstrete
in place of Old Jewry withColemanstrete
labelled separately above it (Carlin and Belcher; Stow 1633, sig. 2B6r). Our Agas coordinates are based on the resulting assumption that Colechurch Street only covered the area of modern Old Jewry.Colechurch Street is mentioned in the following documents:

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.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.
