On the north
side of this church and churchyard is one faire and large builded house, sometime
pertaining to the Prior of Tortington since that to the Earles of Oxford, & now to Sir Iohn Hart Alderman: which house hath a faire garden belonging thereunto, lying on the West side thereof. On the backe side of two other faire houses in Walbrook, in the raigne of Henry the seuenth, Sir Rychard Empson
Empson and Dudley.
knight dwelled in the
one of them, & Edmond Dudley Esquire in the other: eyther of them had
a dore of entercourse into this garden, wherein they met & consulted of matters at their pleasures. In this Oxford place Sir Ambrose Nicholas kept his mayoralty, & since him ye said Sir Iohn Hart did likewise.
On the south side of this high street, neare vnto the channell, is pitched vpright
a great stone called London stone
fixed in the ground very deep, fastned with bars of iron, & otherwise so
strong lie set, that if cartes do runne against it through negligence, the Wheeles
be broken, and the stone it selfe vnshaken.
The cause why this stone was there set, the verie time when, or other memory
hereof, is there none, but that the same hath long continued there, is manifest,
namely since (or rather before) the time of the conquest: for in the ende of a
fayre written Gospell booke giuen to Christes church in
Canterburie, by Ethelstane king of the west Saxons, I finde
noted of Landes or Rentes in London belonging to the saide church,
whereof one parcell is de

Lower downe from this parish church bee diuers fayre houses namely one wherein of
late Sir Richard Baker a knight of Kent was lodged, and one
wherein dwelled maister Thomas Gore a marchant famous for Hospitality. On
the West side of this Walbrooke streete, ouer
against the Stockes market, is a parte of the high
streete, called the Poultrie, on the south side
west, till ouer against S. Mildredes Church, and
the Skalding Wike, is of this warde. Then downe
againe Walbrooke stréete some small distance, is
Buckles Bury, a streete so called of
Buckle
that sometime was owner thereof, part of which streete, on
both sides 3. or 4. houses to the course of the Brooke is of this warde, and so
downe Walbrooke streete, to the south corner: from
whence west downe Budge Row, some small distance to
an Alley
barton Skinner, who gaue lands to that church, was there buri

don stone, and Walbrooke corner, is a little lane with a turne
pike in the middest thereof, and in the same a proper parish church called S. Mary Bothaw,
quier 1539. but his monument is defaced. The Erbar is an ancient place so called, but is not of Walbrooke warde, and therefore out of that lane, to Walbrooke corner, and then downe till ouer against the south corner of S. Iohns church vpon Walbrooke. And this is all that I can say of Walbrooke warde. It hath an Alderman, and his Deputy, common Counsellors eleuen, Con
stables, nine, Scauengers six, for the Wardmote inquest, thirteen and a Beadle, it is taxed to the fifeteene in London, to forty pound and in the Exchequer to thirty nine pound.

that Alley south by the west ende of S. Iohns

to Walbrooke corner. This parrish church is called
S. Iohn vpon Walbrooke, because the west
ende thereof is on the verie banke of Walbrooke, by
Horshew Bridge,
a Bridge ouer the
Brooke in Horsebridge lane. This church was also
lately new builded: for aboute the yeare 1412. licence was

enlarging thereof, with a peece of ground on the north part of the Quire, 21.

account, onely William Combarton Skinner, who gaue lands to that church, was there buri
ed, 1410. and Iohn Stone Taylor one of the Sheriffes 1464. was likewise buried there. On the south side of Walbrooke warde from Candlewicke streete, in the mid way betwixt Lon

of neare adioyning to an haw or yarde wherein of old time, boates were made, and
landed from Downgate to be mended, as may be
supposed, for other reason I finde none why it should be so called. Within this
Church, and the small Cloistrie adioyning, diuers noble men and persons of worship
haue beene buried, as appeareth both by Armes in the windowes, by the defaced
Tombes, and printe of plates torne vp and carried away, there remaine onely, of
Iohn West Esquier, buried there in the year 1408. Thomas
Huntley Esquier 1539. but his monument is defaced. The Erbar is an ancient place so called, but is not of Walbrooke warde, and therefore out of that lane, to Walbrooke corner, and then downe till ouer against the south corner of S. Iohns church vpon Walbrooke. And this is all that I can say of Walbrooke warde. It hath an Alderman, and his Deputy, common Counsellors eleuen, Con

Locations
-
Pope’s Head Alley
Pope’s Head Alley ran south from Cornhill to Lombard Street, and was named for the Pope’s Head Tavern that stood at its northern end. Although it does not appear on the Agas Map, its approximate location can be surmised since all three streets still exist. Although Stow himself does not discuss Pope’s Head Alley directly, his book wasImprinted by Iohn Wolfe, Printer to the honorable Citie of London: And are to be sold at his shop within the Popes head Alley in Lombard street. 1598
(Stow 1598). Booksellers proliferated Alley in the early years of the 17th century (Sugden 418).Pope’s Head Alley is mentioned in the following documents:

-
Candlewick Street
Candlewick, or Candlewright Street as it was sometimes called, ran east-west from Walbrook in the west to the beginning of Eastcheap at its eastern terminus. Candlewick became Eastcheap somewhere around St. Clements Lane, and led into a great meat market (Stow 1:217). Together with streets such as Budge Row, Watling Street, and Tower Street, which all joined into each other, Candlewick formed the main east-west road through London between Ludgate and Posterngate.Candlewick Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Budge Row
Budge Row ran east-west through Cordwainer Street ward. It passed through the ward from Soper Lane in the west to Walbrook in the east. Beyond Soper Lane, Budge Row became Watling Street. Before it came to be known as Budge Row, it once formed part of Watling Street, one of the Roman roads (Weinreb and Hibbert 107).Budge Row is mentioned in the following documents:

St. Paul’s Cathedral
St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. The church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again. An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would become the cathedral of St. Paul’s which survived until the Great Fire of 1666.St. Paul’s Cathedral is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Wall
Originally built as a Roman fortification for the provincial city of Londinium in the second century C.E., the London Wall remained a material and spatial boundary for the city throughout the early modern period. Described by Stow ashigh and great,
the London Wall dominated the cityscape and spatial imaginations of Londoners for centuries. Increasingly, the eighteen-foot high wall created a pressurized constraint on the growing city; the various gates functioned as relief valves where development spilled out to occupy spacesoutside the wall.

The Stocks Market was a significant market forfish and flesh
in early modern London, located south of Poultry, north of Bucklersbury, and west of Walbrook Street in Cornhill Ward (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). The building of the Stocks Market was commissioned by lord mayor Henry le Wales in 1283 and, according to the editors of The London Encyclopedia, is named after thethe only fixed pair of stocks in the city
(Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London, rebuilt, and then replaced in 1739 by the Mansion House, which is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London.Stocks Market is mentioned in the following documents:
-
London Bridge
From the time the first wooden bridge in London was built by the Romans in 52 CE until 1729 when Putney Bridge opened, London Bridge was the only bridge across the Thames in London. During this time, several structures were built upon the bridge, though many were either dismantled or fell apart. John Stow’s 1598 A Survey of London claims that the contemporary version of the bridge was already outdated by 994, likely due to the bridge’s wooden construction (Stow 1:21).London Bridge is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Mary Le Bow is mentioned in the following documents:
-
New Fish Street
New Fish Street (also known in the seventeenth century as Bridge Street) ran north-south from London Bridge at the south to the intersection of Eastcheap, Gracechurch Street, and Little Eastcheap in the north (Harben; BHO). At the time, it was the main thoroughfare to London Bridge (Sugden 191). It ran on the boundary between Bridge Within Ward on the west and Billingsgate Ward on the east. It is labelled on the Agas map asNew Fyshe streate.
