Blackman Street formed the southern portion of the main thoroughfare in Southwark, which is now commonly referred to as the High Street or Borough 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.

(BLAC22.xml) 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).

(STGE4.xml) York House

Located on the northern bank of the Thames, York House was just west of Durham House, on the south side of the Strand. Records of York House date back to the thirteenth century, when the location was owned by the Bishops of Norwich and was referred to as Norwich Place (Gater and Wheeler). In 1536, Henry VIII granted Norwich Place to Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk (Gater and Wheeler). In 1556, the Archbishop of York, Nicholas Heath, purchased the residence, which would thereafter be called York House (Stow 1598, sig. 2B3r).

Suffolk House was located on the west side of Blackman Street near St. George Southwark and was just south of the area depicted on the Agas map (Walford). Stow claims that Suffolk House was built by the Duke of Suffolk, Charles Brandon, during the reign of Henry VIII (Stow 1633, sig. 2Q5v), while Ida Darlington asserts that a residence owned by the Brandon family, known as Southwark Place, existed at this location prior to Henry VIII’s reign (Darlington).

The Julian calendar, in use in the British Empire until September 1752. This calendar is used for dates where the date of the beginning of the year is ambigious.

The Julian calendar with the calendar year regularized to beginning on 1 January.

The Julian calendar with the calendar year beginning on 25 March. This was the calendar used in the British Empire until September 1752.

The Gregorian calendar, used in the British Empire from September 1752. Sometimes referred to as New Style (NS). Years run from January 1 through December 31.

The Anno Mundi (year of the world) calendar is based on the supposed date of the creation of the world, which is calculated from Biblical sources. At least two different creation dates are in common use. See Anno Mundi (Wikipedia).

Regnal dates are given as the number of years into the reign of a particular monarch. Our practice is to tag such dates with calendar=regnal, and provide an equivalent date using a more systematic calendar (usually Julian) in a custom dating attribute.

Most MoEML documents, or significant fragments with xml:id attributes, can be addressed using the mol: prefix and accessed through the web application with their id + .xml.

The molagas prefix points to the shape representation of a location on MoEML’s OpenLayers3-based rendering of the Agas Map.

Links to page-images in the Chadwyck-Healey Early English Books Online (EEBO) repository. Note that this is a subscription service, and may not be accessible to those accessing it from locations outside member institutions.

Links to page-images in the English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA).

The mdt (MoEML Document Type) prefix used on catRef/target points to a central taxonomy in the includes file.

The mdtlist (MoEML Document Type listing) prefix used in linking attributes points to a listings page constructed from a category in the central MDT taxonomy in the includes file. There are two variants, one with the plain xml:id of the category, meaning all documents in the specified category, and one with the suffix _subcategories, meaning all subcategories of the category.

The molgls (MoEML gloss) prefix used on term/corresp points to a a glossary entry in the GLOSS1.xml file.

This molvariant prefix is used on ref/target attributes during automated generation of gazetteer index files. It points to an element in the generated variant spellings listing file which lists all documents which contain a particular spelling variant for a location.

This molajax prefix is used on ref/target attributes during the static build process, to specify links which point to MoEML resources which should not be loaded into the source page during standalone processing; instead, these should be turned into links to the XML source documents, and at HTML page load time, these should be turned into AJAX calls. This is to handle the scenario in which a page such as an A-Z index of the whole site would end up containing virtually the whole site inside itself.

The molstow prefix is used on facs attributes to link to the HCMC verison of the Stow facsimiles. Usually the first group is the year (1633) and then last is the image number (0001).

The molshows prefix is used on facs attributes to link to the copies of page-images from mayoral shows stored in the london account on the HCMC server. The first group is the year (1633), the second is the source repository, and then last is the image file name.

The sb prefix is used on ref/target attributes to link to Stow’s Books URLs at UToronto.

Suffolk House was located on the west side of Blackman Street near St. George Southwark, just south of the area depicted on the Agas map (Walford). Stow claims that Suffolk House was built by the Duke of Suffolk, Charles Brandon, during the reign of Henry VIII (Stow 1633, sig. 2Q5v), while Ida Darlington asserts that a residence owned by the Brandon family, known as Southwark Place, existed at this location prior to Henry VIII’s reign (Darlington).

In 1536, Suffolk House became the property of Henry VIII. Thereafter, the property was occasionally used as a royal residence. In 1545, a Royal Mint was established in the building, but it was closed in 1551 after the discovery of fraud. According to Stow, Mary I granted Suffolk House to the Archbishop of York Nicholas Heath, who sold it soon after and purchased the residence that would then be called York House (Stow 1598, sig. 2B3r). The property continued to be known as Suffolk House and the Mint into the nineteenth century, and was eventually divided to make way for road improvements in the area (Darlington). For more information, see Darlington’s Survey of London.
