Notes
- I.e., London Bridge. (MR)↑
- This appears to be a mistake. Bermondsey Abbey and St. Saviour (Southwark) are separate places in Southwark. (LS)↑
- This appears to be a mistake. Stow corrects the name of this brothel to the Boar’s Head in the 1633 Survey (Stow 1633, sig. 2Q3r). (MR)↑
- I.e., Anthony Browne, first Viscount Montague. (MR)↑
- Likely Walter Fitzwalter, third Baron Fitzwalter based on the years he lived. (JB)↑
- Kingston corrects this name to
Sir Richard Imworth
in Kingston 1908. (JB)↑ - Possibly referring to Geoffery de Say, second Lord de Say. (MR)↑
- I.e., Charles Brandon. (MR)↑

The Thames
Perhaps more than any other geophysical feature, the Thames river has directly affected London’s growth and rise to prominence; historically, the city’s economic, political, and military importance was dependent on its riverine location. As a tidal river, connected to the North Sea, the Thames allowed for transportation to and from the outside world; and, as the longest river in England, bordering on nine counties, it linked London to the country’s interior. Indeed, without the Thames, London would not exist as one of Europe’s most influential cities. The Thames, however, is notable for its dichotomous nature: it is both a natural phenomenon and a cultural construct; it lives in geological time but has been the measure of human history; and the city was built around the river, but the river has been reshaped by the city and its inhabitants.The Thames 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:
-
Farringdon Without Ward
Farringdon Without Ward is west of Farringdon Within Ward and Aldersgate Ward and is located outside the Wall. This ward is calledWithout
orExtra
because the ward is locatedwithout
Newgate and Ludgate and to differentiate it from Farringdon Within Ward. Farringdon Without Ward and its counterpart within the Wall are both named after William Faringdon, principle owner of Farringdon Ward, the greater ward that was separated into Farringdon Within Ward and Farringdon Without Ward in the 17 of Richard II.Farringdon Without Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
London Bridge
As the only bridge in London crossing the Thames until 1729, London Bridge was a focal point of the city. After its conversion from wood to stone, completed in 1209, the bridge housed a variety of structures, including a chapel and a growing number of shops. The bridge was famous for the cityʼs grisly practice of displaying traitorsʼ heads on poles above its gatehouses. Despite burning down multiple times, London Bridge was one of the few structures not entirely destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666.London Bridge is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Long Southwark
Long Southwark ran southwards from London Bridge to St. George Southwark, where it attached to Blackman Street (Stow 1633, sig. 2Q2r). The street is labelledSouthwarke
on the Agas map. Stow notes that Long Southwark wasbuilded on both sides with divers Lanes and Allies
(Stow 1633, sig. 2Q2r). The five prisons found in Southwark were also located on this street (Stow 1633, sig. 2Q2v). Long Southwark formed the northern portion of the main thoroughfare in Southwark, which is now commonly referred to as theHigh Steet
orBorough High Street
(Malden).Long Southwark is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. George Southwark
St. George Southwark was located adjacent to Suffolk House, just south of the area depicted on the Agas map (Stow 1598, sig. Y8r). While there is no mention of the church in the 1086 Domesday Book, Stow notes that St. George Southwark was gifted to the Bermondsey Abbey by Thomas Arden and his son in 1122 (Stow 1598, sig. Y8v). As a result, St. George Southwark was probably constructed at the beginning of the twelfth century (Darlington).St. George Southwark 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:
-
Parish of St. Mary (Newington)
The Parish of St. Mary (Newington) began approximately a mile south of London Bridge and is south of the area depicted on the Agas map (Stow 1598, sig. Y5r). St. Mary (Newington) was also referred to asNewington Butts,
a name that is believed to originate from the ancient archery butts that were set up on the fields of the parish (Malden; Lysons). One of the notable sites in the Parish of St. Mary (Newington) was Newington Butts, which was among the earliest playhouses to exist during the golden age of Elizabethan theatre (Johnson 26). While Stow discusses the Parish of St. Mary (Newington) in his Survey of London, it was technically adistant parish,
which lay outside the Corporation of London’s jurisdiction (Boulton 12). As a result, the Parish of St. Mary (Newington) fell under the control of Surrey authorities (Boulton 9).Parish of St. Mary (Newington) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Mary (Newington)
St. Mary (Newington) was a church dedicated to The Virgin Mary located on the west side of the Parish of St. Mary (Newington), just south of the area depicted on the Agas map (Noorthouck). Ida Darlington notes that the earliest mention of St. Mary (Newington) occurs in the Liber Feodorum orBook of Fees,
which mentions thatRoger de Susexx held the church of Niwetun of the gift of the Archbishop
in 1212. While very little is known about St. Mary (Newington) prior to the thirteenth century, a comprehensive record of the church’s rectors exists from 1212 onwards (Darlington).St. Mary (Newington) 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:
-
St. Olave Street
A street near the bank of the Thames near to St. Thomas Hospital.St. Olave Street is mentioned in the following documents:

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).

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:

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:

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.
