NExt unto Breadstreete
VVard on the South
side thereof, is Queene
Hith Ward, so called
of a Water-gate, or
Harborow for Boates,
Lighters, and Barges, and was (of old
time) for Ships, at what time, the Tim
ber Bridge of London was drawne up,
for the passage of them to the said Hith,
as to a principall strand for landing and
unlading against the middest and heart
of the City. This VVard beginneth in
the East, in Knight-Riders street, on the
South side thereof, at the East end of
the Parish Church called the Holy Tri
nity, and runneth VVest on the South
side, to a Lane called Lambart hill,
which is the length of the VVard in
Knight-Riders street. Out of the which
street are divers Lanes, running South
to Thames street, and are of this VVard.
The first is Trinity lane, which runneth
downe by the VVest end of Trinitie
Church. Then is Spuren lane, or Spoo
ners lane, now called Huggen lane. Then
Breadstreet hill. Then St. Mary Mount
haunt: out of the which Lane, on the
East side thereof, is one other Lane,
turning East through S. Nicholas Olaves
Church-yard,to Breadstreet hill. This
Lane is called Finimore lane, or Five foot
lane, because it is but five foot in breadth
at the VVest end. In the middest of this
Lane, runneth downe one other Lane
broader, South to Thames street, I think
the same to be called Desborne lane, for
I reade of such a Lane to have beene in
the Parish of S. Mary Summerset, in the
22.of Edward the third, where there is
said to lye betweene the Tenement of
Edward de Mountacute, Knight, on the
East part, and the Tenement sometime
pertaining to William Gladwine, on the
VVest, one plot of ground, containing
in length towards Thames street twenty
five foot, &c.

-
Huggin Lane (Upper Thames Street)
Huggin Lane ran north-south between Thame Street and Knightrider Street. Although Stow mentions them separately, Stow’s descriptions of the positions of Huggin Lane and Pyellane suggest that they are the same street (Stow 1598, sig. T7v, U1v). Harben also lists Pyellane as a probable variant (Harben).Huggin Lane (Upper Thames Street) is mentioned in the following documents:
-

Distaff Lane
Distaff Lane was in Bread Street Ward. It is not to be confused with Great Distaff Street, the street which crossed the northernmost end of Distaff Lane. There is some discrepancy in the exact length of Distaff Lane between the Agas Map and the information in Survey of London. On the Agas Map, Distaff Lane (labelledDiſtaf la.
) 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:

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:

The Dominicans’ aquisition of the site, overseen by Robert Kilwardby, began in 1275. Once completed, the precinct was second in size only to St. Paul’s Churchyard, spanning eight acres from the Fleet to St. Andrew’s Hill and from Ludgate to the Thames.

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.

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.
