NOw I am to speake of the other wards, twelue in number, all lying on the west
side of the course of Walbrooke: and first of the
Vintry ward,
so called of
Uintners, and of the Uintrie, a part of
the banke of the Riuer of Thames, where the
merchantes of Burdeaux craned their wines, out of Lighters,
and other vesselles, and there landed and made sale of them within fortie daies
after, vntill the 28. of Edward the
first, at which time the saide merchantes com
plained that they could not sell their wines, paying poundage, nei

Iames at Garlicke Hith. In breadth this ward stretcheth from the Uintrie North to the wall of the West gate of the Tower Royall: the other North part is of Cordwayner stréete Warde. Out of this Roy

Iohns vpon Walbrooke, which stréete is called Horshewbridge, of such a bridge sometime ouer the brooke there, which is now vaulted ouer. Then from the said south gate west, runneth one other stréete, called Knightriders stréete, by S. Tho

so called not onely of a signe of 3. Cranes, at a Tauerne
dore, but rather of 3. strong Cranes of timber, placed on the Uintrie wharfe by the Thames side, to crane vp wines there, as is afore shewed: this lane was

There dwelled Iohn Gisers Uintner, Mayor of London and

about two yeares since or more I repayred to the common hall of that company, and
there shewed, and read it in a court of Assistance, requiring them as being one of
the principall companies in this cittie (of whome I meant therfore to write the
more at large) if they knew any more which might sound to their worship or
commendation, at their leysure to send it me, and I wold ioyne it to my former
collection: at which time I was answered by some that tooke vpon them the speech,
that they were none of the principall, but of the inferiour companies, and so
willing me to leaue them I departed, and neuer since heard from them, which hath
somewhat discouraged me any farther to trauail amongst the companies to learne
ought at their hands. Next is Palmers lane nowe
called Anchor lane:
the plummers haue their hal
there, but are tennants to the Uintners. Then is Worcester house,
sometimes belonging to the Earles of Worcester, nowe diuided into many
tenementes. Then is the Old swanne,

Brewhouse: And this is all on the Thames side, that
I can note in this ward.
On the land side in the royall stréete is Pater noster lane,

was new builded and made a colledge of S. Spirit, and S. Mary,

At the vpper end of this streete, is the Tower
Royall,
where
of that streete taketh name, this Tower and great place was so called of pertayning to the kinges of this Realme, but by whome the same was first builded, or of what antiquity the same hath con
tinued, I haue not read more then that in the raigne of Edwarde the first, the 2. 4. and 7. yeares, it was the Tenement of Symon Beawmes, also that in the 36. of Edwarde the 3. the same was called the Royall in the parish of S. Michæll de pater noster, & that in the 43. of his raigne, he gaue it by the name of his Inne,
ding in the raigne of Richarde the 2. it was called the Queenes Wardrope, as appeareth by this that followeth: king Richarde hauing in Smithfielde ouercome and dispersed his Rebels, hee, his Lordes and all his Companie, entred the Citie of London, with great ioy, and went to the Lady Princesse his mother, who was then lodged in the Tower Royall, called the Queenes Wardrope where shee had remained three daies, and two nightes, right sore abashed: but when shee saw the king her sonne, shee was greatlie reioyced and saide. Ah sonne, what greate sorrow haue I suffe

This Tower seemeth to haue beene at that time of good de
fence, for when the Rebels had beset the Tower of Loudon 4, and got possession thereof, taking from thence whome they listed, as
ned safe as yee haue heard: and it may bee also supposed that the king himselfe was at that time lodged there. I read that in the yeare 1386. Lyon king of Armonie, being chased out of his Realme, by the Tartarians, receiued innumerable giftes of the King,
sand poundes by yeare during his life, this for proofe may suffice, that kinges of England haue beene lodged in this Tower, though the same of later time hath beene neglected, and turned into sta
bling, for the kinges horses, and now letten out to diuers men, and deuided into Tenementes. In Horsebridge streete, is the Cutlers hall, which sometime belonged to Simon Dolesley Gro

I haue shewed, the princesse being forced to flye came to this Tower Royall, where shee was lodged and remained safe as yee haue heard: and it may bee also supposed that the king himselfe was at that time lodged there. I read that in the yeare 1386. Lyon king of Armonie, being chased out of his Realme, by the Tartarians, receiued innumerable giftes of the King,
King Richard lodged in the Tower

and of his Nobles, the king then lying in the Royall: where hee also granted to the said king of
Armonie, a Charter of a thousand poundes by yeare during his life, this for proofe may suffice, that kinges of England haue beene lodged in this Tower, though the same of later time hath beene neglected, and turned into sta

Then is Knight ridars streete,

west, to Creede lane, and so out at Ludgate, towardes Smithfield, when they were there to tur

Then west from the saide Church on the same side, was one great messuage, sometime called Ipris Inne, so called of William of Ipres a Flemming the first builder thereof. This William was called out of Flanders, with a number of Flemminges to the aide of king Stephen, against Maude the Empresse, in the yeare 1138. and grew in fauour with the saide king, for his seruice, so farre that he builded this his house, neare vnto Towre royal,
