BReadstreet ward beginneth
in the high street of West
Cheape, to wit, on the
South side, from the Stan
dard to the great Crosse.
Then is also a part of Watheling street of
this Ward, to wit, from over against
the Red Lion, on the North side, up al
most to Pauls gate; for it lacketh but one
house of Saint Augustines Church. And
on the South side, from the Red Lion
Gate to the Old Exchange; and downe
the same Exchange, on the East side,
by the West end of Maiden Lane, or
Distar lane, to Knight-Riders street, or,
as they call that part thereof, Old
Fish-street. And all the North side of
the said Old Fish-street, to the South
end of Breadstreet, and by that, still in
Knight-Riders street, till over against
the Trinitie Church, and Trinitie
Lane.

Then is Breadstreet it selfe,
so called,
of Bread in old time there sold: for it
appeareth by Records, that in the yeere
1302. which was the 30. of Edward the
first, the Bakers of London were bounden
to sell no bread in their shops or houses,
but in the Market; and that they
should have foure Hall-motes in the
yeere, at foure severall termes, to deter
mine of enormities belonging to the said
Company.

Monuments to be noted here: first
at Breadstreet corner, the North-east end
1595. of Thomas Tomlinson, causing in
the high street of Cheape a Vault to bee
digged and made, there was found at
fifteene foot deepe, a faire pavement,
like unto that above ground; and at the
further end, at the Chanell, was found
a Tree, sawed into five steppes, which
was to steppe over some Brooke, run
ning out of the West, towards Wal
brooke: and upon the edge of the said
Brooke, as it seemeth, there were found
lying along, the bodies of two great
Trees, the ends whereof were then saw
ed off, and firme Timber, as at the first
when they fell; part of the said Trees
remaine yet in the ground undigged. It
was all forced ground, untill they went
past the Trees aforesaid, which was
about seventeene foot deepe, or better;
thus much hath the ground of this
Citie (in that place) beene raised from
the maine.

Next
Next to be noted, the most beautifull
Frame of faire houses and shops, that
be within the Wals of London, or else
where in England, commonly called
Goldsmiths Rowe, betwixt Breadstreete
end and the Crosse in Cheape, but is
within this Breadstreete Ward; the same
was builded by Thomas Wood, Gold
smith, one of the Sheriffes of London,
in the yeere 1491. It containeth in
number ten faire dwelling houses, and
foureteene shops, all in one Frame, uni
formely builded foure stories high,
beautified towards the streete with the
Goldsmiths Armes, and the likenesse
of Wood-men, in memory of his name,
riding on monstrous Beasts; all which
is cast in Lead, richly painted over, and
gilt: these hee gave to the Goldsmiths,
with stockes of money to bee lent to
young men, having those shops, &c.
This said Front was againe new pain
ted and gilt over in the yeere 1594.
Sir Richard Martin being then Maior,

them; serving out the time of Cutbert
Buckle, from the ſecond of Iuly, till the
28. of October.
Then for Watheling streete,
which Ley
land calleth Atheling or Noble street: but
since hee sheweth no reason why, I ra
ther take it to be so named, of the great
high-way of the same calling. True it
is, that at this present the inhabitants
thereof are wealthy Drapers, retaylers
of Woollen Clothes, both Broad and
Narrow, of all sorts, more than in any
one street of this City.

Of the Old Exchange,
I have noted in
Faringdon Ward: VVherefore I passe
downe to Knight-Riders street, whereof
I have also spoken in Cordwainer streete
Ward. But in this part of the said Knight-
Riders street, is a Fish-Market kept, and
therefore called Old Fishstreet, for a dif
ference from New Fishstreet.

In this Old Fishstreet is one Rowe of
small houses, placed along in the mid
dest of Knight-Riders street, which Rowe
is also of Breadstreet Ward. These hou
ses, now possessed by Fishmongers,
were at the first but moveable Boords
(or Stals) set out on Market daies, to
shew their Fish, there to bee sold: but
procuring licence to set up Sheds, they
grew to Shops, and by little and little,
to tall Houses, of three or foure stories
in height, and now is called Fishstreete.
Walcer Turke, Fishmonger, Maior,
1349. had two Shops in Old Fishstreet,
over-against Saint Nicholas Church, the
one rented five shillings the yeere, the
other foure shillings.

More to bee noted of this Church,
which had sometime a faire spired
Steeple of stone. In the yeere 1559.
the fifth of September, about mid-day,
fell a great Tempest of Lightning, with
a terrible clap of Thunder, which struck
the said spire about 9. or 10. foot beneath
the top; out of the which place fell a
stone, that slew a Dogge, and over
threw a man that was playing with
the Dogge. The same Spire, being but
little damnified thereby, was shortly
after taken downe, for sparing the char

On the South side of this Lane is one
great house, of old time builded upon
arched Vaults, and with arched Gates
of stone brought from Cane in Norman
die. The same is now a common Ostrey
for receit of Travellers, commonly and
corruptly called Gerards Hall, of a Gy
ant said to have dwelled there. In the
high rooffed Hall of this house some
time stood a large Firre-Pole, which
reached to the roofe thereof, and was
said to be one of the staves that Gerard
the Gyant used in the warres to runne
withall. There stood also a Ladder of
the same length, which (as they said)
served to ascend to the top of the staffe.
Of later yeers this Hall is altred in buil
ding, and divers roomes are made in it.
Notwithstanding, the Pole is removed
to one corner of the Hall, and the Lad
der hanged broken, upon a wall in the
yard. The Hosteler of that house said
to mee, the Pole lacked halfe a foote of
forty in length. I measured the com
passe thereof, and found it fifteene in
ches. Reason of the Pole could the Ma
ster of the Hostery give me none, but
bade mee reade the great Chronicles;
for there he heard of it. Which answer
seemed to me insufficient: for he meant
the description of Britaine, for the most

Commentaries, (borrowed of my selfe)

Collection of Histories (as he termeth
it) hath these words:
I the writer hereof, did see the tenth day
of March, in the yeere of our Lord, 1504.
and had the same in my hand, the tooth of a
man, which weighed ten ounces of Troy
weight: and the scull of the same man is ex
tant and to bee seene, which will hold five
peckes of wheate; and the shin-bone of the
same man, is sixe foote in length, and of a
marvellous greatnesse: this saw R. G.3

The errour thereof is thus: he affir

which stone (so proved) having no
shape of a tooth, had neither scull nor
shin-bone. Notwithstanding, it is ad

jecturall symetry of those parts, the
body to be twenty and eight foote long
or more. From this he goeth to another
like matter, of a man with a mouth six

note what my selfe hath observed con

I reade, that Iohn Gisors, Maior of
London, in the yeere 1245. was owner
thereof, and that Sir Iohn Gisors, Knight,
Maior of London, and Constable of the
Tower 1311. and divers others of that
name and family, since that time owed
it. William Gisors was one of the She
riffes, 1329. More, Iohn Gisors had is
sue, Henry and Iohn: which Iohn had is
sue, Thomas: Which Thomas deceasing
in the yeere 1350. left unto his sonne
Thomas his messuage, called Gisors Hall,
in the Parish of Saint Mildred in Bread
street: Iohn Gisors5 made a Feoffment
thereof 1386. &c. So it appeareth, that
this Gisors Hall of late time (by corrup
tion, hath been called Gerards Hall, for
Gisors Hall, as Bosomes Inne, for Blossoms
Inne, Bevis Markes, for Buries Markes,
Marke lane, for Mart lane, Billiter lane,
for Belzetters lane, Gutter lane, for Gu
thuruns lane, Cry Church, for Christs
Church, Saint Michael in the Querne,
for Saint Mihel at Corne, and such o
thers. Out of this Gisors Hall, at the first
building thereof, were made divers ar
ched doores yet to be seen, which seem
not sufficient for any great Monster, or
other than men of common stature to
passe thorow. The Pole in the Hall
might bee used of old time (as then the
custome was in every Parish) to bee set
up in the Summer a May-Pole, before
the principall house in the Parish or
Streete,
the Scrine, decked with Holme and
Ivie, at the Feast of Christmas. The
Ladder served for the decking of the
May-Pole, and Roofe of the Hall. Thus
much for Gisors Hall, and for that side
of Breadstreet may suffice.

Now on the West side of Breadstreet,
amongst divers faire and large houses
for Merchants, and faire Innes for pas

led the Compter in Breadstreet: but in
the yeere 1555. the Prisoners were re
moved from thence, to one other new
Compter in Woodstreet, provided by the
Cities purchase, and builded for that
purpose: the cause of which remove
was this: Richard Husband, Pastelar,
keeper of this Compter in Breadstreete,
being a wilfull and head-strong man,
dealt (for his owne advantage) hard
with the prisoners under his charge, ha
ving also servants, such as himselfe li
ked best for their bad usage, and would
not for any complaint bee reformed:
whereupon, in the yeere 1550. Sir Row

-
Cheapside Market
In the middle ages, Westcheap was the main market west of Walbrook, so called to distinguish it from Eastcheap, the market in the east. By Stow’s time, the term Westcheap had fallen out of use in place of Cheapside Market. Stow himself, however, continued to use the term to distinguish the western end of Cheapside Street.Cheapside Market is mentioned in the following documents:

Cheapside Cross (Eleanor Cross)
Cheapside Cross (Eleanor Cross), pictured but not labelled on the Agas map, stood on Cheapside Street between Friday Street and Wood Street. St. Peter, Westcheap lay to its west, on the north side of Cheapside Street. The prestigious shops of Goldsmiths’ Row were located to the east of the Cross, on the south side of Cheapside Street.

Stow records that the street is also commonly known asNoble Street
(Stow 1598, sig. O4v). This should not lead to confusion with Noble Street in Aldersgate Ward. There is an etymological explanation for this crossover of names. According to Ekwall, the nameWatling
ultimately derives from an Old English word meaningking’s son
(Ekwall 81-82). Watling Street remains distinct from the Noble Street in Aldersgate Ward.Watling Street is mentioned in the following documents:

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:

) appears to run south off Great Distaff Street, labelledMaidenhed lane,
terminating before it reaches Knightrider Street. Stow tells us, in his delineation of the bounds of Bread Street Ward, that Distaff Lanerunneth downe to Knightriders street, or olde Fishstreete
(Stow 1:345). Our map truncates Distaff Lane before Knightrider Street.Distaff Lane is mentioned in the following documents:

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.

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:
