Release Notes for MoEML v.7.0
¶Fifth Static Release: Codename MAPS1
v.7.0 is the fifth release of a static version of our site. Older versions of MoEML
are still available and may be browsed via the links at https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/old.
This release has the codename
MAPS1because we are formally publishing the Mapography of Early Modern London.
¶Major Content Release
The Mapography of Early Modern London is our major content release in v.7.0. This finding aid for maps of early modern
London has an extended preface about early modern maps, the scope of the finding aid,
the data model employed in the finding aid, and recommendations for use. We list 135
maps of London, with links to digital surrogates and/or bibliographical details for
print surrogates.
We are also publishing our encoded transcription of the 1598 A Survey of London. The entity tagging has been checked and corrected where necessary by the team currently
encoding the 1633 edition. The 1598 text is undergoing peer review. For more information,
see the Stow landing page. We will say more about the work and the contributors when the edition has gone through
peer review.
The ward pages have been reworked. We have added images of the Blome maps in the Crace Collection
(thanks to the British Library), links to the relevant sections of the 1598 and 1633
texts of the Survey of London, and a clarifying note about the ward boundaries drawn on our edition of the Agas
map. RAs Jamie Zabel and Amogha Lakshmi Halepuram Sridhar wrote abstracts for the ward pages.

¶Addition of Blome’s Ward Maps
Thanks to the generosity of the British Library, which kindly waived permission fees,
we have added Blome’s maps of the London wards to our ward pages. These maps were published in John Strype’s 1720 Survey of London. Even though they are post-fire, they are the earliest ward maps we have and represent
the general footprint of the wards as they would have been in Stow’s day.
¶Updates to Praxis
Since the v.6.6 release, we have updated our documentation on how to encode interpolations
and supplied characters (Encode a Primary Source Transcription).
¶Progress on the MoEML Anthology of Mayoral Shows
Most of the modern editions are now under contract. Our team of experts on mayoral
pageantry are checking over the old-spelling transcriptions, which are published on the MoEML site. The modern editions will be published in
the MoEML Mayoral Shows anthology (MoMS) on the LEMDO platform.
The Chapin Library provided us with images of Dekker’s Troia Nova Triumphans. These images are now embedded in the edition. We thank the Chapin Library and especially
recently retired Director Wayne Hammond for their generosity. They make it possible for our viewers to click on open-access
images while they are reading our transcription.
¶Progress on Stow’s Survey
With this release, we are formally publishing the encoded text of our edition of the
1598 A Survey of London. The text and encoding will soon be undergoing peer review.
We are nearing the end of our work on the 1633 text of Stow, Munday, and Dyson’s The Survey of London.
We are working with Alexandra Gillespie’s Old Books, New Science lab at the University of Toronto Mississauga to identify and encode all the sources
Stow mentions in his prose and marginal notes.

Bankside
Described by Weinreb asredolent of squalor and vice
(Weinreb 39), London’s Bankside district in Southwark was known for its taverns, brothels and playhouses in the early modern period. However, in approximately 50 BCE its strategic location on the south bank of the Thames enticed the Roman army to use it as a military base for its conquering of Britain. From Bankside, the Romans built a bridge to the north side of the river and established the ancient town of Londinium. The Bankside district is mentioned in a variety of early modern texts, mostly in reference to the bawdy reputation of its citizens. Today, London’s Bankside is known as an arts district and is considered essential to the culture of the city.Bankside is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Boss Alley (Queenhithe) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cannon Row
Cannon Row, a humble street running alongside the Thames, was the home of prominent individuals in the early modern period. It was a commonly-used street, and appeared in texts from the period often as the home of some of those illustrious persons. The street began as the home of the Cannons for Saint Stephen’s church.Cannon Row is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Falcon Stairs
Sharing a name with the nearby Falcon Inn, the Falcon Stairs provided river access for the area of Southwark known to early modern Londoners as thebank side
(and later, Bankside). Being outside of London’s city limits, Southwark offered the early modern citizen a collection of entertainments of questionable virtue that were more difficult to come by in London proper. In Southwark, Londoners could attend plays at the Rose and Globe theatres, watch bear- and bull-baiting, and even visit one of the many brothels (called stews) that made Bankside infamous in the early modern period.Falcon Stairs is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Fish Wharf
In early modern London, Fish Wharf was an incredibly active area of commercial industry on the north bank of the River Thames in Bridge Ward Within. John Stow indicates that the wharf wasOn that south side of Thames stréete Gap in transcription. Reason: ()[…] in the parish of S. Magnus
(Stow 1598, sig. M5r). Additionally according to Henry Harben’s A Dictionary of London, the location of wharf was specifically selected tobe adjacent, on the west, to the present London Bridge Wharf, and between that wharf and Fresh Wharf east
(Harben).Fish Wharf is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Horse Ferry
Horse Ferry, according to early accounts, was established specifically to carry clergymen from their residence at Lambeth Palace to Westminster Palace across the river.Horse Ferry is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Lyon Key
Lyon Quay was located between Broken Wharf to the west and Brook’s Wharf to the east (Harben). Although not on the original list ofLegal Quays
drawn up in the sixteenth century, Lyon Quay did make the list after the port was reassessed following the Great Fire of 1666 (Forrow 9, 11). In 1668, the Quay’s dimensions were measured at thirty-six feet wide along the Thames and running north forty feet to Thames Street (Child). -
Molestrand Dock
The Molestrand Dock was a pier in Southwark located close to the Falcon Inn and was used primarily for passenger ferries. A row of tenement buildings stood near the dock.Molestrand Dock is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Privy Stairs
The Privy Stairs were the rivermen’s stairs on the Thames attached to the king and queen’s apartments at Whitehall for use by the monarchs when they still resided at the palace; river access was necessary as the palace faced the Thames rather than the street (Ivimey 163). The stairs was used primarily by visiting foreign dignitaries and courtiers in order to gain access to the palace without needing to negotiate the streets of London, while a second dock, the Whitehall Stairs, was located downstream and was accessible to the public (Pepys).Privy Stairs is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Botolph (Billingsgate)
St. Botolph’s Billingsgate Church was located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Botolph Lane and Thames Street in Billingsgate Ward. It is not labelled on the Agas map. It was one of the four London churches named after the seventh-century Anglo-Saxon monk, St. Botolph, who was the abbot of Iken, Suffolk. Over fifty churches in England were named after Botolph. According to Stow, the church of St. Botolph’s once contained many beautiful monuments, but, even by his time, the monuments were gone, destroyed, or defaced (Stow 1598, sig. M1v).St. Botolph (Billingsgate) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Mary Overie Stairs
St. Mary Overie Stairs and its adjoining dock functioned asa large wharfe and landing place
on the southern bank of Thames, which provided river access to Winchester House and the Priory of St. Mary Overies (Stow 1598, sig. Y7v). While the stairs were commonly known as either Winchester Stairs or St. Mary Overie Stairs, they were sometimes referred to as St. Saviour Stairs after the Dissolution of the Monasteries (Rendle 203; Cave 225). This location is visible on the Agas map, though it is not labelled.St. Mary Overie Stairs is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Fleet
The Fleet, known asFleet River,
Fleet Ditch,
Fleet Dike,
and theRiver of Wells
due to the numerous wells along its banks, was London’s largest subterranean river (Stow 1598, sig. C4r). It flowed down from Hampstead and Kenwood ponds in the north, bisecting the Ward of Farringdon Without, as it wended southward into the Thames (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 298).Fleet is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Ironmonger Lane
Ironmonger Lane, located directly north of Eastcheap in Cheap Ward, ran north-south between Cateaton Street and Cheapside Street. The lane’s name has undergone a number of spelling changes over the years—on the Agas map, it is labelled asIremonger lane,
but it has also been written asIsmonger Lane,
Ismongeres Lane,
orYsmongeres Lane,
with records of the last spelling dating back to 1213 (Harben).Ironmonger Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Newgate
The gaol at Newgate, a western gate in the Roman Wall of London, was constructed in the twelfth century specifically to detainfellons and trespassors
awaiting trial by royal judges (Durston 470; O’Donnell 25; Stow 1598, sig. C8r). The gradual centralisation of the English criminal justice system meant that by the reign of Elizabeth I, Newgate had become London’s most populated gaol. In the early modern period, incarceration was rarely conceived of as a punishment in itself; rather, gaols like Newgate were more like holding cells, where inmates spent time until their trials or punishments were effected, or their debts were paid off.Newgate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Globe
The Globe was the open-air, public theatre in which William Shakespeare was a shareholder. It was one of the theatres at which the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later the King’s Men, regularly performed. Most of Shakespeare’s plays were performed at the Globe, along with the works of many other playwrights. It was an open-air, polygonal theatre with standing room around a thrust stage and three levels of gallery seating. It was built in 1599, burnt down in 1613, rebuilt in 1614 and closed in 1642. A modern reconstruction now stands a short distance from the site of the original in Bankside.The Globe is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Greenwich
Greenwich Palace was a popular royal residence among the Tudors, specifically during the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Built in 1447 for Humphrey of Lancaster, Greenwich was the first visible sign as the traveller came from the mouth of the Thames in the east towards London (Bold 38). The land was originally the site of an Abbey until 1414 when it reverted back to the crown. In 1426, it was passed to Humphrey of Lancaster, who built the early palace and enclosed the land as a park. The house passed to Henry VI, whose wife, Margaret of Anjou, renamed it the Palace of Placentia orpleasant place.
The nameGreenwich Palace
dates from Elizabeth’s reign. This location was east of the area depicted on the Agas map.Greenwich is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Haberdashers’ Hall
Located at the junction of Ingen Lane (otherwise known as Maiden Lane, and now forming part of Gresham Street) and Staining Lane, the Haberdashers’s Hall was the meeting place for the Habdashers’ Company. The Company aquired this location in 1458. The Hall was completely destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666.Haberdashers’ Hall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Hampton Court
The history of Hampton Court illustrates, in many ways, the history of England itself. Hampton Court was originally owned by Thomas Wolsey and later gifted to Henry VIII, remaining the property of the crown or state in a nearly unbroken line since the sixteenth century. As such, the palace is also the subject and site of many important early modern English artistic, literary and dramatic works. The palace was also a landmark for iconic historical moments such as the birth of Edward VI, the death of Jane Seymour, Elizabeth I’s reconciliation with Mary I, James I’s plan for the Authorized Bible, and Charles I’s escape from Parliamentary imprisonment. Hampton Court is not located inside the area depicted on the Agas map.Hampton Court is mentioned in the following documents:
-
New Exchange
The construction of the New Exchange in 1608–1609 demonstrated the efficiency of London development under the supervision of Lord Treasurer Sir Robert Cecil, established a significant competitor to John Gresham’s Royal Exchange, and expanded London fashion westward. Nicknamed Britain’s Burse by King James I during a christening entertainment staged by Ben Jonson, the New Exchange became a symbol of commercial strength in a consolidated British kingdom, as well as a new indoor model of shopping that invited more women into the sphere of luxury sales and consumption throughout the seventeenth century.New Exchange is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Paul’s Cross
The Paul’s Cross outdoor preaching station is located in Paul’s Cross Churchyard on the northeast side of St. Paul’s Cathedral. During the early modern period, Paul’s Cross was a site of drama, since the interfaith conflicts of the time were addressed from the pulpit. These sermons were presented by prominent Reformation figures including Stephen Gardiner, Miles Coverdale, Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley, Hugh Latimer, Gilbert Bourne, Edmund Grindal, Matthew Parker, John Jewel, John Foxe, Edwin Sandys, and John Donne.St. Paul’s Cross is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Three Cups Inn (Bread Street)
The Three Cups Inn was located in Bread Street Ward at the southwest intersection of Bread Street and Watling Street. The Inn provided food, drink, and shelter for employees, guests, carriers and their horses. It was a hub for public transportation and shipping into and out of the capital and was a home to the inn holder, servants, and their families. It provided employment and a community meeting place. It acted as a landmark in the city for at least four hundred years.Three Cups Inn (Bread Street) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Whitehall
Whitehall Palace, the Palace of Whitehall or simply Whitehall, was one of the most complex and sizeable locations in the entirety of early modern Europe. As the primary place of residence for monarchs from 1529 to 1698, Whitehall was an architectural testament to the shifting sociopolitical, religious, and aesthetic currents of Renaissance England. Sugden describes the geospatial location of Whitehall in noting that[i]t lay on the left bank of the Thames, and extended from nearly the point where Westminster Bdge. now crosses the river to Scotland Yard, and from the river back to St. James’s Park
(Sugden 564-565).Whitehall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Addle Hill
Addle Hill or Athelyngstrete ran north from Knightrider Street up to Carter Lane (Stow 1633, sig. 2M4v). Stow records it running from Carter Lane to Knightrider Street but, as Carlin and Belcher note, it was extended south of Thames Street by 1250 (Stow 1633, sig. 2M4v; Carlin and Belcher Athelyngstrete). Stow may have recorded Addle Hill this way to distinguish between the raised and level portions of the street (Stow 1633, sig. 2M4v). It is labelledAddle Hill
on the Agas Map. Carlin and Belcher’s 1520 map labels the streetAthelyngstrete
(Carlin and Belcher Athelyngstrete). The southern portion of the street was destroyed to allow the formation of Queen Victoria Street in the nineteenth century (Harben). There is still anAddle Hill
in London at the same location though it has been significantly reduced in length.Addle Hill is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Antelope (Southwark)
The Antelope (Southwark) and Suffolk House were the two messuages that King Edward VI kept in Bridge Without Ward after he resigned his right as lord of the manor in 1550 (Cunningham 72). John Stow notes that after 1550, King Edward VI continued to own his park in Southwark, which included the grounds called the Antelope (Stow 1633, sig. 2P5v).Antelope (Southwark) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Battle Bridge (Tooley Street)
Battle Bridge connected St. Olave Street with the road to Bermondsey and Horsleydown (Nichols 252). John Stow states that Battle Bridge was named after the Abbots of Battle Abbey, who built and repaired the bridge (Stow 1633, sig. 2R2r). The Abbots of Battle Abbey owned the Abbot of Battle’s Inn, which included the land surrounding Battle Bridge (Nichols 252). The site of the Abbot of Battle’s Inn and Battle Bridge is now marked by Battle Bridge Lane and Battle Bridge Stairs (Malden). Battle Bridge appears on Hogenberg and Braun’s 1572 map (Londinum Feracissimi Angliæ Regni Metropolis).Battle Bridge (Tooley Street) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bermondsey Street
Branching off from the south side of Tooley Street, Bermondsey Street (sometimes referred to as Barnaby Street) ran north-south towards Bermondsey Abbey (Stow 1598, sig. Z3v-Z4r). Bermondsey Street is depicted just east of Battle Bridge on the Agas map, although it is mislabeledKent Str.
Bermondsey Street also appears on Rocque and Pine’s 1746 map (A Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster, and Borough of Southwark with Contiguous Buildings), where it is labelledBarnaby or Bermondsey Street.
Bermondsey Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Black Loft
Stow locates The Black Loft of silver melting on Sermon Lane in Castle Baynard Ward (Stow 1633, sig. 2N1v). Agas map coordinates are based on this information. The precise function of the location remains unclear.The Black Loft is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Blackman Street
Blackman Street formed the southern portion of the main thoroughfare in Southwark, which is now commonly referred to as theHigh Street
orBorough High Street
(Malden). Stow notes that Blackman Street began at the southern end of Long Southwark near St. George Southwark and moved south towards the Parish of St. Mary (Newington) (Stow 1633, sig. 2Q2r). Blackman Street is south of the area depicted on the Agas map.Blackman Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Boar’s Head (Southwark)
The Boar’s Head was one of the twelve licensed brothels in Southwark. In his 1598 Survey of London, Stow mistakenly refers to this location as theBeares heade
(Stow 1598, sig. Y6v). This error is corrrected in the 1633 edition of the Survey, which lists the names of the brothels in Southwark as theBoares heade, the Crosse keyes, the Gunne, the Castle, the Crane, the Cardinals Hat, the Bel, the Swanne &c
(Stow 1633, sig. 2Q3r).Boar’s Head (Southwark) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Boss (Billingsgate)
According to John Stow, the Boss of Billingsgate was a fountainof spring water continually running,
which was set into the wall of Boss Alley (Stow 1598, sig. M2v). This boss was the subject of an early modern poem, which personified both the Boss of Billingsgate and the London Stone. In this poem, the Boss is described as a fallen woman, who the London Stone marries (Bosse of Byllyngesgate sig. A5v). While the Boss of Billingsgate was located on the north side of Billingsgate Ward, its exact coordinates remain unknown and it is not labelled on the Agas map.Boss (Billingsgate) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bowyer Row
Bowyer Row, according to Harben, ran east-west from Creed Lane to Ludgate (Harben). It was the unofficial yet descriptive name given to a section of Ludgate Street by early modern Londoners,so called of bowiers dwelling there in old time
(Stow 1598, sig. T1v).Bowyer Row is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bridge House
The Bridge House was located on the south bank of the Thames, near St. Olave, Southwark and is labelled on the Agas map (Noorthouck). Stow describes the Bridge House as a storehouse for the materials used to build and repair London Bridge (Stow 1598, sig. Z3v). Edward Walford notes that the Bridge House also stored provisions for the navy and the public (Walford). The Bridge House was used as a banqueting hall on special occasions, including when the Lord Mayor came to visit Southwark (Walford).Bridge House is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bulwark Gate
Bulwark Gate was one of the outer defences of the Tower of London, located near Tower Hill (Harben Tower of London, Bulwark Gate). While Stow describes a number ofbulwarks
around the Tower, it is likely that his description ofthe Bulwarke,
a piece of Tower Hill west from Lion Tower that was fortified by Edward IV, is referring to Bulwark Gate (Stow 1633, sig. E3v).Bulwark Gate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Chapel at the North Door of St. Paul’s
The Chapel at the North Door of St. Paul’s was founded by Walter Sherington according to a license issued by Henry VI (Stow 1598, sig. S5r). It was pulled down during the reign of Edward VI and replaced witha faire house
(Stow 1598, sig. S5r). Persons of note buried in this chapel include John Neville (Stow 1598, sig. T1r).Chapel at the North Door of St. Paul’s is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Chapel of Jesus
The Chapel of Jesus was located under the choir in St. Paul’s Cathedral. It was founded in the thirty-seventh year of Henry VI’s reign for afraternitie, and guild, to the honour of the most glorious name of Iesu Christ our Sauiour
(Stow 1598, sig. S5v). The entrance of the chapel was decorated with an image of Jesus and of Margaret Beauchamp who was buried within (Stow 1633, sig. 2I5r). Other people of note buried in the chapel include William Lamb (Stow 1633, sig. 2I5r).Chapel of Jesus is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Chapel of St. John (Southwark)
The Chapel of St. John (Southwark) was located on the north side of St. Mary Magdalen (Southwark). According to John Stow, John Gower founded a chantry in the chapel and was later buried there (Stow 1633, sig. 2Q3v).Chapel of St. John (Southwark) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Chapel of St. Thomas on the Bridge
Located on London Bridge, the Chapel of St. Thomas on the Bridge was a chapel dedicated to St. Thomas Becket that was founded by Peter of Colechurch sometime before 1205 (Page).Chapel of St. Thomas on the Bridge is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Colechurch Street
Colechurch Street was located in the Parish of St. Olave (Old Jewry) and ran north-south from Lothbury to Poultry (Harben). Harben mentions the possibility ofColechurchstrete
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:
-
Conduit in Colemanstreet
According to Harben, the conduit in Colemanstreet was located in Coleman Street by the west end of St. Margaret, Lothbury in Coleman Street Ward. The conduit was built by the city of London in 1546 (Harben; Stow 1598, sig. B8v). It was not rebuilt after the Fire (Harben).Conduit in Colemanstreet is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Golden Lion
The Golden Lion was a victualling house located on Paternoster Row, right on the boundary between Castle Baynard Ward and Farringdon Within Ward. Agas coordinates are based on Stow’s description of the Golden Lion’s location (Stow 1633, sig. 2M4v, sig. 2G1r).Golden Lion is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Golding’s Brewhouse
Golding’s Brewhouse was located in Southwark next to the Bridge House. According to John Stow, Golding’s Brewhouse was given to the City of London by George Monoux (Stow 1598, sig. Z3v). During Sir John Mundy’s time as mayor, the location of Golding’s Brewhouse was incorporated into the Bridge House property (Rendle 268).Golding’s Brewhouse is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Great Distaff Street
Great Distaff Street ran east-west from Friday Street to Old Change and was located in Bread Street Ward. The main structure of note along the street was Cordwainers’ Hall. It was also known asMayden lane
and is labelledMaidenhed lane
on the Agas map (Stow 1633, sig. 2L6r). According to Stow, the nameDistaff
was a corruption ofDistar Lane
but Harben and others have found this to be an error as the earliest form wasDistaue, not Distar
(Stow 1633, sig. 2L6r; Harben). Great Distaff Street is not to be confused with Distaff Lane, the lane which ran south out of Great Distaff Street toward Knightrider Street.Great Distaff Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Herber
The Herber wasa mansion on the east side of Dowgate Street, near to the church of St. Mary Bothaw
(Harben). The derivation of the name is uncertain but Prideaux suggests it is derived fromArbour
while Lappenburg suggests the Frencherbois
orGrasplatz
which means garden (qtd. in Harben). Richard Neville, the Fifth Earl of Salisbury, was lodged there at the beginning of the War of the Roses in 1457 (Harben; Stow 1598, sig. F1v). According to Stow, the Herber was later inhabited by Sir Francis Drake (Stow 1633, sig. Y5r). In modern London, a portion of Canon Street Station stands on the original site (Harben).The Herber is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Holmes College
Holmes College, also known as the Chapel of the Holy Ghost and the Chapel of St. Mary Magdalen, was located on the north side of St. Paul’s Cathedral (Stow 1598, sig. S5r, S8v). It was founded by Roger Holmes in 1400 and is also where Holmes was buried (Stow 1598, sig. S5r, S8v). Other persons of note buried in Holmes College include sheriff and mayor Adam de Bury (Stow 1598, sig. S8v). The chapel is labelledHolmes College
on the 1520 map (A Map of Tudor London, 1520).Holmes College is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Holy Well
James Bird’s Volume 8 of the Survey of London, Shoreditch, indicates that there were two wells on the property of Holywell Priory, one in the orchard and onein the middle of the inner court
(Bird 153-187). In a footnote, Bird indicates that the well in the orchard is most likely the one from which the priory and the district took its name (Bird 153-187n204). This is because Stow, in 1598, identifies Holy Well as beingmuch decayed and marred with filthinesse, purposely layd there, for the heighthening of the ground, for garden plots
and while it is possible that the orchard land was used for gardening plots, the inner court was never put to that purpose (Bird 153-187n204; Stow 1598, sig. B7v). By this reasoning, we assume that the well in the orchard of Holywell Priory is the one that bears the name Holy Well.Holy Well is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Horsleydown
Originally referred to asHorseydown
orHorsedown,
Horsleydown (sometimes spelled Horselydown) was located on the southern bank of the Thames, just east of Tooley Street (Surrey Archaeological Society 156, 167). Horsleydown’s name appears to derive from its original function as a large grazing field for cattle and horses (Walford). While Horsleydown remained a pastural setting in Stow’s time, by the nineteenth century the area had becomecrowded with wharfs and warehouses, granaries and factories, mills, breweries, and places of business of all kinds
(Noorthouck; Surrey Archaeological Society 156). Horsleydown is labelledHorſsey downe
on the Agas map,Horſy Downe
on the 1661 edition of Newcourt and Faithorne’s map (London), andHorsley Down
on Rocque and Pine’s 1746 map (A Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster, and Borough of Southwark with Contiguous Buildings). All three maps similarly depict a large open field near the Horsleydown label.Horsleydown is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Iron Gate
Iron Gate was an entry gate into the Tower of London on its eastern side near the Thames. According to Stow, the gate wasgreat and strong
but not often opened (Stow 1633, sig. E4r). It was built in the late fourteenth century on a plot of land that once contained mills belonging to St. Katherine’s Hospital (Carlin and Belcher Tower of London; Stow 1598, sig. D4r). The gate is labelledIron Gate
on the 1520 map (A Map of Tudor London, 1520).Iron Gate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Kent Street
Originally called Kentish Street, Kent Street began at the north end of Blackman Street and ran eastward from the church of St. George Southwark (Walford). Kent Street was a long and narrow road that connected Southwark to the County of Kent (Stow 1633, sig. 2Q2v). Edward Walford notes that Kent Streetwas part of the great way from Dover and the Continent to the metropolis
until the early nineteenth century (Walford). Kent Street is now commonly referred to as Old Kent Road and is not to be confused with New Kent Road (Darlington). Kent Street is south of the area depicted on the Agas map.Kent Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Kerion Lane
Kerion Lane ran east-west from College Hill to St. James Garlickhithe and was located in Vintry Ward (Harben, Maiden Lane). It was also known as Maiden Lane (Harben, Maiden Lane).Kerion Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Lady Chapel (Christ Church)
Lady Chapel (Christ Church) was a chapel in Christ Church located by the organs (Kingsford). Those of note buried within the chapel include Sir John de Gisors (Thornbury).Lady Chapel (Christ Church) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Lady Chapel (St. Paul’s)
Lady Chapel (St. Paul’s) was at the east end of St. Paul’s Cathedral. It was built by Ralph Baldock, former dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral, and is also where Baldock was buried (Stow 1598, sig. 2D1v-2D2r). Other persons of note buried in the chapel include John Stokesley (Stow 1598, sig. T1r). Lady Chapel (St. Paul’s) is also where Catherine of Aragon and Arthur Tudor were married in 1501 (Thornbury).Lady Chapel (St. Paul’s) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Lambeth
Lambeth was a neighbourhood located on the southern bank of the Thames, directly opposite to Westminster (Lysons). Jeremy Boulton notes that Lambeth lay outside the Corporation of London’s jurisdiction and was instead controlled by Surrey authorities (Boulton 9). Lambeth is depicted on the Agas map, though it is partially covered by a descriptive cartouche. While the Agas map labels the area near Lambeth’s coordinates asThe lambeht,
this label appears to refer to Lambeth Palace rather than the neighbourhood as a whole. For a more detailed look at Lambeth, see Richard Blome’s 1720 map (Blome).Lambeth is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Lambeth Palace
Lambeth Palace, also known as Lambeth House and the Palace of the Archbishop, was and continues to be the London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury (Stow 1633, sig.
