Touching the chappell
there, I finde that in the yeare 1466. by

raigne, a Fraternitie of the Trinity, of 60. priestes, (besides o
ther Brethren, and Sisters) in the same Chappell was foun
ded by William Rouse, Iohn Risbie, and Thomas Ashby,
priestes, some of the which 60 priestes, euery market day, in the
fore noone, did celebrate diuine seruice there, to such market
together, and had solemne seruice, with procession of all the bre
thren and sisters. This foundation was in the yere, 1512. by a
common counsaile confirmed to the 60. Trinity Priestes, and to
their successors at the will of the Maior and Comminaltie. Now
it did befall that in the yeare, 1484. a greate fire happened
this Leaden hal, by what casualty I know not, but much howsing
was there destroyed with all the stockes for Guns, and other pro
uision belonging to the Citie, which was a greate losse, and no lesse
charge to be repaired by them. In the yere 1503. the eighteenth
of Henry the seuenth, a request was made by the Cōmons of the
Citie, concerning the vsage of the saide Leaden hall, in forme as

Leaden Hall no more to be spoken of concerning this
matter.The vse of Leaden Hall in my youth was thus: In a part
of
the North quadrant on the East side of the North gate, was the
common beames for weighing of wooll, and other wares, as had
béene accustomed: on the west side the gate was the scales to way
meale: the other thrée sides were reserued for the most part to the
making and resting of the pageants shewed at midsommer in the
watch: the remnant of the sides and quadrantes were imployed
for the stowage of wooll sackes, but not closed vp: the lofts aboue
were partly vsed by the painters in working for the decking of pa
geants and other deuises, for beautifying of the watch and watch
men, the residue of the loftes were letten out to marchantes, the
wooll winders and packers therein to wind and pack their wools :
And thus much for Leaden Hall may suffice.

diuers faire houses for marchants, and proper tenements for ar
tificers, with an alley also called Shaft Alley, of the shaft or May
pole sometime resting ouer the gale thereof, as I haue declared
in Aldegate warde. In the yeare 1576 partly at the charges of
the parish of S. Andrew, and partly at the charges of the chamber
of London, a water pumpe was raised in this high stréet of Lime

In S. Mary
streete had ye of old time parish Church
of S.
Mary the virgine, S. Vrsula, and the 11000. virgines, which
Church was commonly called S. Mary at the Axe, of the signe of
an Axe, ouer against the East end thereof, or S. Marie Pellipar
of a plot of ground lying on the North side thereof, pertayning to
the Skinners in London. This parrish about the yeare 1565.
was vnited to the parish Church of S. Andrew Vndershaft,
warehouse for a Marchant. Also against the North end of this S.
Mary stréete was
stine, called S. Augustine in the wall, for that if stood adioyning to
the wall of the Citie: and otherwise called S. Augustines Papey,
for that about the yeare 1430. in the raigne of Henry the sixt, the
same Church was allowed to the brethren of the Papey, the house
of poore priestes, whereof I haue spoken in Aldgate warde. The
parishioners of this Church were appointed to the parish Church
of Alhallowes in the wall, which is in Breadstreet ward,8 this
brotherhood (called Papey) being suppressed, the church of S. Au
gustine was pulled downe, and in place thereof one Grey a Po
thecarie builded a stable, and a heyloft: it is now a dwelling house,
reseruing the Church yarde for a garden plot. Those two parish
Churches both lying in the Warde of Limestréet, being thus sup
pressed, there is not any one parish church or place for diuine seruice
in that warde, but the inhabitants thereof repayre to Churches,
out of their Ward, namely to S. Peter vpon Cornehill in Corne
hill warde, S. Andrew in Aldegate warde, Alhallowes in the
wall in Breadstréete warde,9 and some to S. Denis in Langborne
warde. Now because of late there hath beene some question, to
what ward this Church or chappel of S. Augustine Papie should
of right belong, for the same hath béen challenged by them of Ald
gate warde, and without reason taken into Bishopsgate warde,
from Limestréete warde, I am somewhat to touch it. About 30.
yeares since the chamber of London granted a lease of ground (in
these words) lying néere London wall in the ward of Limestréet,
from the West of the said church or chappell of S. Augustine, Pa
pey, towardes Bishopsgate &c. On the which plat of grounde the
lease, builded thrée faire tenements, and placed tennantes there:
these were charged to beare scot and lot, and some of them to beare
office in Limestréete warde: all which they willingly did without
grudging. And when any suspected or disordered persons were by
the Landlord placed there, the officers of Limestréete warde fetch
ed them out of their houses, committed them to the warde, procu
red their due punishments, and banished them from thence: where
by in short time that place was reformed & brought into good or
moued their Alderman Sir Thomas Offley to call in those hou
ses to be of his warde: but I my selfe shewing a faire ledgier booke
sometime pertaining to the late dissolued Priorie of the holy Tri
nitie within Aldegate, wherein were set downe the iust bounds of
Aldegate ward, before Sir Thomas Offley, Sir Rowland Hey
ward, the common counsell and Wardemote inquest of the saide
Limestréete ward, Sir Thomas Offley gaue ouer his challenge:
and so that matter rested in good quiet, vntill the yeare 1579. that
Sir Rychard Pype being Mayor, and Alderman of Bishopsgate
warde challenged those houses, to be of his Warde, whereunto
(without reason shewed) Sir Rowland Heyward yeelded: and
thus is that side of the stréete from the North corner of S. Mary
stréete, almost to Bishopsgate, (wherein is one plot of ground let
ten by the Chamberlaine of London to the parish of S. Martins
Otoswich, to be a churchyard, or burying place for the dead of that
parish &c.) vniustly drawne from the warde of Limestreet. Di

suffice. The Mayor and Aldermen of London made a graunt to
the fraternitie of Papie, in these wordes: Bee it remembred

Saint Augustine called Papie Chappell, scituate in the parish
of All-saintes in the wall, in the Warde of Limestreet of the
citie of London: from the southeast corner of the which bricke
wall, is a scutcheon of xxi.foote of assise from the said corner East

Notes
- Stow appears to be mistaken here. Sir Peter Mewtas was John Mewtas’ grandson. (MR)↑
- This must be incorrect. The Earldom for Hereford ended with Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Early of Hereford in 1373. (JT)↑
- The two dates do not correspond here. The third of Edward IV was not 1464, but 1462-1463. (NAP)↑
- Letter missing; context obvious. (SM)↑
- A poem written by William Langland. (ML)↑
- Unclear. (SM)↑
- I.e., the Chamber of London. (MR)↑
- Identified as incorrect in Errata; Stow means Broad Street Ward. This error is corrected in subsequent editions. (The MoEML Team)↑

Locations
-
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:
-
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:
-
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:
-
Langbourn Ward
Langbourn Ward is west of Aldgate Ward. According to Stow, the ward is named aftera long borne of ſweete water
which once broke out of the ground in Fenchurch Street, a street running through the middle of Langbourn Ward (Stow 1603). Thelong borne of ſweete water
no longer existed at the time of Stow’s writing (Stow 1603).Langbourn Ward 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:
-
Leadenhall 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:
-
The Wrestlers (Lime Street Ward)
The Wrestlers was a house in Bishopsgate Ward located on the north side of Camomile Street, near the Wall and Bishopsgate (Stow). The house predates the Wrestlers Court located on the opposite (south) side of Camomile Street.The Wrestlers (Lime Street Ward) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bishopsgate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
King’s Artirce
Stow reports of having read a record ofa mansion house of the kings
calledKing’s Artice
on Lime Street (Stow 1598, sig. I1v). The record Stow cites dates back to the fourteenth year of Edward I’s reign and, by Stow’s time, the mansion had apparentlygrown out of knowledge
(Stow 1598, sig. I1v).King’s Artirce is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Benbridges Inn
Benbridges Inn was a large house on the northwest corner of Lime Street. The Inn appears to be named after Ricardus de Pembrugge, a Knight and owner of a large piece of land in Lime Street Ward in 1376 (Harben; BHO). In 1454 the draper Ralph Holland bestowed the large messuage to the Master and Wardens of the Fraternity of Tailors and Linen Armourers of St John the Baptist (Harben; BHO). Soon thereafter they set upa fayre large frame of timber
for a large house and built three other tenement buildings adjoining it (Stow).Benbridges Inn is mentioned in the following documents:
-
London is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Green Gate
The Green Gate was a house on the south side of Leadenhall Street, east of Leadenhall in Lime Street Ward. Stow’s interest went beyond the building itself and its location; he was confounded by the misdemeanours that occurred within it. The Green Gate was the site of not one but two robberies.The Green Gate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Parish of St. Andrew (Undershaft) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Leaden Porch 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:
-
Cheapside Street
Cheapside Street, one of the most important streets in early modern London, ran east-west between the Great Conduit at the foot of Old Jewry to the Little Conduit by St. Paul’s churchyard. The terminus of all the northbound streets from the river, the broad expanse of Cheapside Street separated the northern wards from the southern wards. It was lined with buildings three, four, and even five stories tall, whose shopfronts were open to the light and set out with attractive displays of luxury commodities (Weinreb and Hibbert 148). Cheapside Street was the centre of London’s wealth, with many mercers’ and goldsmiths’ shops located there. It was also the most sacred stretch of the processional route, being traced both by the linear east-west route of a royal entry and by the circular route of the annual mayoral procession.Cheapside Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Gutter Lane
Gutter Lane ran north-south from Cheapside to Maiden Lane (Wood Street). It is to the west of Wood Street and to the east of Foster Lane, lying within the north-eastern most area of Farringdon Ward Within and serving as a boundary to Aldersgate ward. It is labelled asGoutter Lane
on the Agas map.Gutter Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Foster Lane
Foster Lane ran north-south between Cheapside in the south and Oat Lane in the north. It crossed Lily Pot Lane, St. Anne’s Lane, Maiden Lane (Wood Street), and Carey Lane.

Foster Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Conduit (Cornhill)
Not labelled on the Agas map, the Conduit upon Cornhill is thought to have been located in the middle of Cornhill Ward andopposite the north end of Change Alley and the eastern side of the Royal Exchange
(Harben 167; BHO). Formerly a prison, it was built to bring fresh water from Tyburn to Cornhill.Conduit (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:
-
St. Mary Axe
The church of St. Mary Axe was a church on the west side of St. Mary Axe Street in Lime Street Ward. Stow asserts the church’s full name and dedication wasS. Marie the virgine, Saint Vrsula, and the 11000. Virgins
and believed that its common name, St. Mary Axe, derived from a sign near the church’s east side (Stow). However, a document written during the reign of Henry VIII suggests a different history of its name. The church, dedicated to 11,000 martyred virgins, supposedly contained the three axes that were used in their executions (Harben).St. Mary Axe 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:

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:
-
All Hallows (London Wall)
All Hallows, London Wall is a church built east of Bishopsgate, near or on the City Wall. The church is visible on the Agas map northwest of Broad Street and up against the south side of the City Wall. The labelAll Haloues in y Wall
is west of the church. In his description of Broad Street Ward, Stow notes only the location of the church and the three distinguished people interred therein by 1601.All Hallows (London Wall) is mentioned in the following documents:

-
St. Dionis Backchurch
St. Dionis Backchurch was located on the southwest side of Lime Street on the border between Langbourn Ward and Billingsgate Ward (Stow 1633, sig. V1r-V1v). The church is dedicated to the patron saint of France, St. Denys or Dionysius, which, as Harben notes,is the only church in the City with this dedication, and suggests the French influence which prevailed in England during the 11th and 12th centuries
(Harben). The church was built in the reign of Henry VI and rebuilt following its destruction in the Great Fire (Harben).St. Dionis Backchurch is mentioned in the following documents:
-

Standing at London Stone, the site of Oxford House was associated with the temporal governance of the city and the livery from the twelfth until the twentieth century. Originally the dwelling place of London’s first lord mayor, Henry Fitz-Alwine, by Stow’s time this house was known asOxford House
orOxford place by London Stone,
after the Earls of Oxford who dwelt there. The site subsequently housed lord mayors Sir Ambrose Nicholas and Sir John Hart and was eventually purchased by the Salters’ Company to serve as their company hall.Oxford House is mentioned in the following documents:

A History of the Country of London contends that the fraternity was founded at the request of Elizabeth Woodville and must have been already in existence in 1422, prior to its association with Leadenhall. From 1466, the Fraternity of the Trinity was in order in Leadenhall until the brief reign of King Edward VI when, under the counsel of Thomas Cranmer, the King signed the Abolition of the Chantries Act in 1547 (Colleges: Fraternity of the Holy Trinity).This organization 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.
