Seething Lane

Agas Map

Seething Lane ran north-south from the junction of Hart Street and Crutch Fryers through to Tower Street. The lane, in Tower Street Ward, was marked by a church at each end; on the northwest corner stood St. Olave, Hart Street and on the southeast corner was All Hallows Barking. Stow describes the lane as one with diuers fayre and large houses (Stow).

Seething Lane was also known as Sydon Lane and Sything Lane (Stow). It is featured on the Agas map, running southeast-northwest in between the labels for Herte Str. and Barkyng. The street itself is marked Sethinge la. It is also featured on Benjamin Cole’s 1754 engraving of Tower Street Ward, labelled with its modern name (Cole).

Locations

Hart Street

Hart Street ran east-west from Crutched Fryers and the north end of Seething Lane to Mark Lane. In Stow’s time, the street began much further east, running from the north end of Woodroffe Lane to Mark Lane (Harben; Stow).
Hart Street is mentioned in the following documents:
Crutched Friars Priory

Crutched Friars Priory was a religious house on the southeast corner of Hart Street (later called Crutched Friars) near the northwest corner of Woodroffe Lane. It was in Aldgate Ward and was founded by Raph Hosiar, and William Sabernes, about the yeare 1298 (Stow). The priory stood for nearly 250 years before it was dissolved on 12 November 1539 (Stow).
Crutched Friars Priory is mentioned in the following documents:
Tower Street

Tower Street ran east-west from Tower Hill in the east to St. Andrew Hubbard church. It was the principal street of Tower Street Ward. That the ward is named after the street indicates the cultural significance of Tower Street, which was a key part of the processional route through London and home to many wealthy merchants who traded in the goods that were unloaded at the docks and quays immediately south of Tower Street (for example, Billingsgate, Wool Key, and Galley Key).
Tower Street is mentioned in the following documents:
Tower Street Ward

MoEML is aware that the ward boundaries are inaccurate for a number of wards. We are working on redrawing the boundaries. This page offers a diplomatic transcription of the opening section of John Stow’s description of this ward from his Survey of London.
Tower Street Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
St. Olave (Hart Street)

The church of St. Olave, Hart Street is found on the south side of Hart Street and the northwest corner of Seething Lane in Tower Street Ward. It has been suggested that the church was founded and built before the Norman conquest of 1066 (Harben). Aside from mentioning the nobility buried in St. Olave’s, Stow is kind enough to describe the church as a proper [i.e. appropriate] parrish (Stow). Samuel Pepys is buried in this church.
St. Olave (Hart Street) is mentioned in the following documents:
All Hallows Barking

The church of All Hallows Barking is in Tower Street Ward on the southeast corner of Seething Lane and on the north side of Tower Street. Stow describes it as a fayre parish Church.
All Hallows Barking is mentioned in the following documents:
