or
Sporners Lane, now called Huggen Lane. Then Bredstréet hill. Then
S. Mary Mounthaunt: out of the which
Lane, on the East side thereof, is one other Lane, turning East, through S. Nicholas Olaues Church yard, to Bredstréete hill. This Lane is called Finimore Lane or fiue foote
Lane, because it is but fiue foote in breadth at the West ende:
In the middest of this lane,
runneth downe one other lane broader, South to Thames
stréete, I thinke the same to be called Desboorne
Lane,
for I reade, of such a Lane to haue bin in the parish of Mary Summerset, in the two and twentieth yeare of
Edward the 3. where there is saide to lye betwéene the
Tenement of Edward de Mountaoute Knight, on the East part, and the
tenement sometime pertaining to William Gladwine on the West, one plot of
ground, containing in length towards Thames stréete 25. foote &c.
Last of all, haue you Lambart hill
Lane, so called of one Lambart an owner thereof: and this is the furthest
West part of this Warde. On the North side comming downe from Knightriders stréete, the
gainst Saint Peters Church in the West, neare vnto Powles Wharffe. And on the land side from a Cookes house called the blew Boore, to the West ende of Saint Peters Church, and vp Saint Peters Hill, two houses North aboue the saide Church. And these bee the boundes of this Warde: in which, are Parish Churches seuen, Halles of Companies two, and other Orna

East side
of Lambards hill, is wholely of this Warde: and the
west side, from the North end of the Black-smithes
Hall (which is about the middest of this Lane) vnto Thames Stréete. Then part of Thames stréete, is also of this Warde, to wit, from a Cookes house
called the signe of King Dauid, thrée houses

Huntington house, ouer against Saint Peters Church in the West, neare vnto Powles Wharffe.

First, in Knightriders stréete, is the small Parish
Church of the holy Trinitie,
lections haue béene made for the repairing thereof, but they will not stretch to farre, and therefore it leaneth vpon proppes or stilts. Monuments are therein none. Towards the West ende of Knightriders stréete, is the Parish Church of S. Nicholas Colde Abbey, a comely Church,
test writing: but I could neuer learne the cause why it should bee so called, and therefore I will let it passe. There bee monuments in this Church, of Andrew Awbery Grocer, Mayor, and Thomas Fryar Fishmoonger, in the yeare 1351. who gaue to this Church and parish one plot of ground, containing fiftie six foote in length, and fortie thrée foote in breadth, at both endes to be a buriall place for the dead of the said Parish, the twentie sixt of Edward the third.

ouer against the broken
Wharffe: it is a proper church, but the Monuments are
all defaced. I thinke the same to bee of olde time called Summers Hithe,
of some mans name that was owner of the ground
neare adioyning, as Edreds Hithe was, so called of
Edred owner thereof, and Sythence called Quéene Hithe, as pertaining to the Quéene, &c.
Then is a small Parish church of S. Peter,
called Parua or Little, vpon the Thames, neare vnto Powles wharffe: In this church no Monuments do
remaine. At the UUest ende thereof, is a Lane called Saint
Peters hill, but two houses vp that lane, on the East side,
is of this UUarde, and the rest is of Castle Baynarde
UUarde.
On the South side of Thames stréete, beginning
againe in the East, among the Cookes: The first in
this Warde, is the signe of Dauid the King:
then is Townes end lane,
turning downe to the Thames. Then is Quéene Hithe, a large receptackle for ships, lighters,
barges, and such other vesselles.
Touching the Antiquitie and vse of this gate and Hithe, first I finde, that of
olde time the same belonged to one named Edred, and was then called Edreds Hithe,
which since
falling to the hands of King Stephen, it was by his Charter confirmed to
William Dey
pre: the firme whereof in Fée and in heritage, William Deypre gaue it vnto the Prior and Couent of the holy Trinitie within Ald

After
this, the Bayliffes of the saide Hithe complained, that since the saide
Recognision, fourtéene forraine shippes laden with Fish, arriued at Bilnings Gate, which shippes should haue arriued at
the saide Hithe: And therefore it was ordered, that if any forraine shippe laden

should bee at the Kings pleasure to amerce them at 40. shillings. Notwithstanding,
the shippes of the citizens of London were at libertie to arriue where
