Thus much for the bounds: now for monuments, or places
most ancient and notable: I am first to beginne with the late
dissolued Priorie of the Holy Trinitie called Christes Church,
on the right hand within Ealdgate. This Priorie was founded by
Matilde the Queene,
where Siredus sometime began to erect a Church in honor of the
Crosse, and of S. Marie Magdalen, of which the Deane and
Chapter of Waltham were wont to receiue 30.SMALL LATIN LETTER S WITH TILDE ABOVE; ABBREVIATION FOR SHILLINGss̃. The Queene
was to acquite her Church thereof, and in Exchange gaue vnto
them a mill. King Henry her husband confirmed her gift : This
Church was giuen to Norman, the first Cannon regular in all
England. The said Queene also gaue vnto the same Church and
those that serued God therein the port of Ealdgate, & the Soke ther
unto belonging, with al customes so frée as she had held the same,
& 25.£, Blanks, which she had of the Citie of Excester: as appea
reth by her deed, wherein she nameth the house Christs Church,
and reporteth Aldegate to be of her demaines, which she granteth
with 2. parts of the rent of the citie of Excester. Norman tooke v
pon him to bee Prior of Christes Church, in the yere of Christ
1108 in the Parishes of S. Marie Magdalen, S. Michael. S. Ka
therine, and the Blessed Trinitie, which now was made
but one Parish of the Holy Trinitie, and was in olde time of
the Holy Crosse, or Holy Roode Parish. The Priorie was
builded on a peece of ground in the Parish of S. Katherine,
towards Ealdgate, which lieth in length betwixt the Kinges
streete, by the which men go towardes Ealdgate: neare to the
Chappell of S. Michaell towardes the North, and conteyneth in

the honorable man Geffery de Glinton was a great helper ther
in and obtayned that the Canons might inclose the way betwixt
their church and the wal of the citie &c. This Priorie in processe of
time became a very fayre and large church, rich in lands and or
naments and passed all the Priories in the citie of London or
London, to wit, of Portsoken warde. I reade that Eustacius the
8. Prior, about the yeare 1264. because hee would not deale with
temporall matters instituted Theobald Fitz Iuonis Alderman of
Portsoken Warde vnder him. And that William Rysing, Prior
of Christes Church was sworne Alderman of the said Portsoken
Warde, in the first of Richard the second. These Priors haue
fitten and ridden amongst the Aldermen of London, in liuery like
vnto them, sauing that his habite was in shape of a spirituall per

Earle of Millen, and many other. But to conclude my speach of
this Priorie, king Henry the eyght minding to reward Sir Tho
mas Audley speaker of the Parliament, against Cardinall Wol
sey (as ye may reade in Hall) sent for the Prior commending him
for his hospitalitie, promised him (as a man worthy of a far grea
ter dignitie, (which promise surely he performed, and compounded
with him (though in what sorte I neuer heard) so that the Prior
surrendred all that Priory with the apurtenances to the king, in
raigne. The Canons were sent to other houses of the same or
der, and the Priory with the apurtenances King Henry gaue vn
to Sir Thomas Audley newly knighted, and after made Lorde
Chauncelor. This Sir Thomas Audeley offered the great
Church of this Priorie, with a ring of nine bels well tuned (wher
of foure the greatest are now at Stebunhith, and the fiue lesser at
S. Stephens in Colemans stréete) to the parishioners of Saint
Katherine Christ church, in exchaunge for their small parrish
Church, minding to haue pulled it downe, & to haue builded there
towardes the stréete: But the parishioners hauing doubtes in
their heades of afterclappes, refused the offer. Then was the Pri
orie Church and stéeple, proffered to whomsoeuer that would take
it downe, and carry it from the ground, but no man would vnder
take the offer, whereupon Sir Thomas Audley was fayne to
bee at more charges to take it downe, then could bee made of the
stone, timber, leade, yron &c. For the workemen with great labor
beginning at the toppe, loased stone from stone, and threwe them
downe, whereby the most part of them were broken, and few re
mayned whole, and those were solde very cheape, for all build
inges then made, were of bricke and timber. At that time any
man in the Cittie, might haue a carte loade of hard stone for pa
uing brought to his dore for vj. ď. or vij. ď. with the carriage. The
said Thomas Lord Audley builded and dwelt on this Priorie du
ring his life,
the said Priory came by marriage of the Lord Audleyes daughter
and heyre vnto Thomas late Duke of Norfolke, and was then
called the Dukes place. The parish Church of S. Katherine
standeth in the Cemitory of the late dissolued Priorie of the holy
Trinitie, and is therefore called S. Katherine Christ Church.
This Church séemeth to bee a very olde thing, since the buil
ding whereof the high streete hath béene so often raysed by paue
mentes, that now men are faine to descende into the saide Church
by diuers steppes. But the stéeple, or Bell Tower thereof hath

Iohn Perciuall Marchant Taylor then deceasing gaue mony to

Locations
-
Aldgate Ward
Aldgate Ward is located within the London Wall and east of Lime Street Ward. Both the ward and its main street, Aldgate Street, are named after Aldgate, the eastern gate into the walled city (Stow 1633, sig. N6v).Aldgate Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Aldgate
Aldgate was the easternmost gate into the walled city. The nameAldgate
is thought to come from one of four sources: Æst geat meaningEastern gate
(Ekwall 36), Alegate from the Old English ealu meaningale,
Aelgate from the Saxon meaningpublic gate
oropen to all,
or Aeldgate meaningold gate
(Bebbington 20–21).Aldgate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Aldgate Street
Aldgate Street ran slightly south-west from Aldgate until it reached a pump, formerly a sweet well. At that point, the street forked into two streets. The northern branch, called Aldgate Street, ran west until it ran into Cornhill at Lime Street. At an earlier point in history, Cornhill seems to have extended east past Lime Street because the church of St. Andrew Undershaft was called St. Andrew upon Cornhill (Harben 10).Aldgate Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Lime Street
Lime Street is a street that ran north-south from Leadenhall Street in the north to Fenchurch Street in the south. It was west of St. Andrew Undershaft and east of Leadenhall. It appears that the street was so named because people made or sold Lime there (Stow). This claim has some historical merit; in the 1150s one Ailnoth the limeburner lived in the area (Harben; BHO).Lime Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Harp Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Fenchurch Street
Fenchurch Street (often called Fennieabout) ran east-west from the pump on Aldgate High Street to Gracechurch Street in Langbourne Ward, crossing Mark Lane, Mincing Lane, and Rodd Lane along the way. Fenchurch Street was home to several famous landmarks, including the King’s Head Tavern, where the then-Princess Elizabeth is said to have partaken inpork and peas
after her sister, Mary I, released her from the Tower of London in May of 1554 (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 288). Fenchurch Street was on the royal processional route through the city, toured by monarchs on the day before their coronations.Fenchurch Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bricklayers’ Hall
The Bricklayers’ Hall was east of Billiter Lane and stood on the south side of the street running west from the water pump near Aldgate. This street was named Leadenhall Street in the seventeenth century but was considered part of Aldgate Street when Stow was writing. Stow mentions the hall only in passing in his survey, so he neglects the hall’s appearance and history (Stow). The hall was incorporated in 1568 but by the eighteenth century the Bricklayers had abandoned it. Thereafter, it was used as a synagogue by Dutch Jews (Harben).Bricklayers’ Hall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Northumberland House (Crutched Friars Lane)
Northumberland House was a stately home in Crutched Friars Lane, south of Aldgate. It was built by and named after Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, in 1455 (Harben). Stow records that by 1598, the house had been abandoned and that the gardens had been turned into one of the first bowling alleys, where all and sundry could bowl and gamble.Northumberland House (Crutched Friars Lane) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Sugarloaf Alley
Sugarloaf Alley ran north-south from Leadenhall Street to Fenchurch Street, on the west side of Bricklayers’ Hall. Stow indicates that it was calledSprinckle allie
but had been renamed Sugarloaf Alley after a shop sign.Sugarloaf Alley is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Billiter Lane
Billiter Lane ran north-west from Fenchurch to Leadenhall, entirely in Aldgate Ward. Nearby landmarks included Blanch Appleton facing the opening of Billiter Lane on the south side of Fenchurch and Ironmongers’ Hall to the west of Billiter Lane on the north side of Fenchurch. Nearby churches were St. Catherine Cree on Leadenhall and All Hallows Staining adjacent to the Clothworkers’ Hall) and St. Katharine Coleman on Fenchurch. On the Agas map, Billiter Lane is labelledBylleter la.
Billiter Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
London Stone
London Stone was, literally, a stone that stood on the south side of what is now Cannon Street (formerly Candlewick Street). Probably Roman in origin, it is one of London’s oldest relics. On the Agas map, it is visible as a small rectangle between Saint Swithin’s Lane and Walbrook Street, just below thend
consonant cluster in the labelLondonſton.
London Stone is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Mary Axe Street
St. Mary Axe ran north-south from the church of St. Augustine Papey to Leadenhall Street. Stow remarks that the east side of the street belonged to Aldgate Ward, while the west side lay within the boundary of Lime Street Ward (Stow). It was named after the church of St. Mary Axe, located near the northwest corner of the street.St. Mary Axe Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Andrew Undershaft
St. Andrew Undershaft stands at the southeast corner of St. Mary Axe Street in Aldgate Ward.The church of St. Andrew Undershaft is the final resting place of John Stow.St. Andrew Undershaft is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Augustine Papey
St Augustine Papey was a church on the south side of the city wall and opposite the north end of St. Mary Axe Street. The church dated from the twelfth century and in 1442 a fraternity of brothers was installed (Harben). The church and brotherhood were suppressed during the Reformation and Stow tells us the church was pulled down and houses built on the site (Stow).St. Augustine Papey is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bevis Marks (Street)
Bevis Marks was a street south of the City Wall that ran east-west from Shoemaker Row to the north end of St. Mary Axe Street. It was in Aldgate Ward. Bevis Marks was continued by Duke’s Place.Bevis Marks (Street) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Culver Alley is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Ironmongers’ Hall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Tower Hill
Tower Hill was a large area of open ground north and west of the Tower of London. It is most famous as a place of execution; there was a permanent scaffold and gallows on the hillfor the execution of such Traytors or Transgressors, as are deliuered out of the Tower, or otherwise to the Shiriffes of London
(Stow).Tower Hill is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Hart Street
Hart Street ran east-west from Crutched Fryers and the north end of Seething Lane to Mark Lane. In Stow’s time, the street began much further east, running from the north end of Woodroffe Lane to Mark Lane (Harben; Stow).Hart Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Seething Lane
Seething Lane ran north-south from the junction of Hart Street and Crutch Fryers through to Tower Street. The lane, in Tower Street Ward, was marked by a church at each end; on the northwest corner stood St. Olave, Hart Street and on the southeast corner was All Hallows Barking. Stow describes the lane as one withdiuers fayre and large houses
(Stow).Seething Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Olave (Hart Street)
The church of St. Olave, Hart Street is found on the south side of Hart Street and the northwest corner of Seething Lane in Tower Street Ward. It has been suggested that the church was founded and built before the Norman conquest of 1066 (Harben). Aside from mentioning the nobility buried in St. Olave’s, Stow is kind enough to describe the church asa proper parrish
(Stow). Samuel Pepys is buried in this church.St. Olave (Hart Street) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Crutched Friars
Crutched Friars was a street that ran east-west from Poor Jewry Lane to the east end of Hart Street above Seething Lane. When Stow wrote, most of Crutched Friars was known as Hart Street, so Stow only uses the name Crutched Friars to refer to Crutched Friars Priory (Harben). Since Stow does not name the street that ran from Aldgate to Woodroffe Lane, it could have been known as Hart Street, Crutched Friars, or something different.Crutched Friars is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Mark Lane
Mark Lane ran north-south from Fenchurch Street to Tower Street. It wasfor the most parte of this Towerstreet warde
(Stow). The north end of the street, from Fenchurch Street to Hart Street was divided between Aldgate Ward and Landbourn Ward. Stow says Mark Lane wasso called of a Priuiledge sometime enjoyed to keepe a mart there, long since discontinued, and therefore forgotten, so as nothing remaineth for memorie
(Stow). Modern scholars have suggested that it was instead named after the mart, where oxen were fattened for slaughter (Harben).Mark Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Blanch Appleton
Blanch Appleton was a manor on Fenchurch Street next to St. Katherine Coleman in Aldgate Ward. It is marked on the Agas map asBlanch chapelton.
Stow records that it was a market during the reign of Edward IV, but the market by Stow’s time wasdiscontinued, and therefore forgotten, so as no-thing remaineth for memorie, but the name of Mart Lane
(Stow 1598, sig. I1r). The site was claimed by the Mayor and Commonality of the City in 1637, and its name continued in the eighteenth centuryBlanch Appleton Court
(Harben).Blanch Appleton is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Holy Trinity Priory
Holy Trinity Priory, located west of Aldgate and north of Leadenhall Street, was an Augustinian Priory. Stow notes that Queen Matilda established the Priory in 1108in the parishes of Saint Marie Magdalen, S. Michael, S. Katherine, and the blessed Trinitie, which now was made but one Parish of the holy Trinitie
(Stow). Before Matilda united these parishes under the name Holy Trinity Priory, they were collectively known as the Holy Cross or Holy Roode parish (Stow; Harben).Holy Trinity Priory is mentioned in the following documents:

Portsoken Ward
Portsoken Ward is east of Tower Street Ward and Aldgate Ward and is located outside the Wall. This ward was once called Knighten Guild, so named because the land which it encompasses was originally given to thirteen knights or soldiers who were the first members of the Knighten Guild, an order of chivalry founded by Edgar the Peaceful for valuable knights in his service. As the OED notes,portsoken
refers tothe district outside a city or borough, over which its jurisdiction extends
(OED portsoken, 1). It follows that this ward, one of the twenty-six wards of London and located outside of the Wall, was later known as Portsoken Ward.Portsoken Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Christ Church is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Stephen (Coleman Street) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Katherine Cree
Not to be confused with St. Katherine Church, St. Katherine Cree was an old parish church in Aldgate Ward located on the north side of Leadenhall Street between Aldgate and St. Mary Axe. Stow reports that the church was so old that one had to descend seven steps to enter it. He also adds that the church’s steeple and bell tower, built in 1504, were the most recent additions (Stow). St. Katherine Cree is also known by the names St. Katherine and the Blessed Trinity and St. Katherine Christ Church. The Church is drawn on the Agas map on the north side of Leadenhall Street, south of Holy Trinity Priory and east of the well in Aldgate Street. It has no label accompanying it.St. Katherine Cree is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Duke’s Place
According to Stow, Duke’s Place was converted from the Holy Trinity Priory after the priory’s dissolution in 1531. Duke’s Place was the residence of Sir Thomas Audley, to whom it was given by Herny VIII after the priory’s dissolution (Stow 1598, sig. H5v). A church, St. James Duke’s Place, was later added to the site during the reign of James I. The buildings on the site were destroyed in the Great Fire and then rebuilt (Sugden 281).Duke’s Place is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cornhill
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 nameCornhill
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. Topographical decisions have been made to the best of our knowledge and ability.Cornhill is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Shaft Alley
Shaft Alley was near the northwest corner of Leadenhall Street and St. Mary Axe Street in Lime Street Ward. During the eighteenth century, the alley was directly opposite East India House. Stow says that the name for the alley came from a maypolelaid [on iron hooks] along ouer the doores, and vnder the Pentises of one rowe of houses, and Alley gate, called of the shaft
(Stow). As an eyewitness, Stow recounts that the alley retained its name long after the maypole was sawn into pieces and burnt following a particularly powerful sermon given at St. Paul’s Cross by Stephen, curate of St. Katherine Cree.Shaft Alley is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Lime Street Ward
Lime Street Ward is west of Aldgate Ward. The ward is named after its principle street, Lime Street, which takes its name from themaking or ſelling of Lime there,
according to Stow (Stow 1603).Lime Street Ward 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:
-
Greyfriars
Enduring for over three centuries, longer than any other London friary, Greyfriars garnered support from both England’s landed elite and common Londoners. Founded in 1225 on a tenament donated by London Mercer John Iwyn, Greyfriars housed London’s Franciscan Friars (known in England as the Grey Friars). The friary expanded from its original pittance of land on the west side of Stinking Lane to over four-and-a-half acres by 1354. With the patronage of Queens Margaret, Isabella, and Philippa throughout the fourteenth century, the Franciscans constructed a formidable church, London’s third largest after St. Paul’s and Westminster Abbey. After the friary’s closure in 1538 pursuant to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the church became the centre of the newly established Christ Church parish, and the cloisters housed Christ’s Hospital (Holder 66–96).Greyfriars is mentioned in the following documents:
-

The modern London Wall street is a major traffic thoroughfare now. It follows roughly the route of the former wall, from Old Broad Street to the Museum of London (whose address is 150 London Wall).London Wall (street) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. John the Evangelist is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Crossed Friars
One of the smallest London friaries, Crossed Friars (also known as Crouched Friars or Crutched Friars) housed the Bretheren of the Holy Cross. Despite John Stow’s assertion that the friary was founded in 1298 (Stow 1:147), it is first mentioned by Henry III in 1269, which suggests that Raph Hosiar and William Sabernes gave their founding bequest some time in that decade. Over the next three (or possibly four) centuries, the friars added a dozen more tenaments to the precinct. By the early fourteenth century, the friary occupied over two acres of land south of Hart Street (later dubbed Crutched Friars) that ran along the west side of Woodroffe Lane to Tower Hill. Compared to friaries such as Blackfriars and Greyfriars, Crossed Friars was humble, and the friars’ plan to expand their church was interrupted in 1538 by the Dissolution of the Monasteries (Holder 142–159).Crossed Friars is mentioned in the following documents:

during the reign of Henry VIII (Stow). For Stow, the house was an important boundary marker for Aldgate Ward; it was the most southern point. However, he did not record anything about the house itself.Lumley House is mentioned in the following documents:

Former Student Contributors
We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
