also but one Alderman, til ye 17. of Richard the
ſecond. At which time the saide Warde for the
greatnesse therof, was diuided into twaine, & by Parlament ordered
to haue two Aldermen, and so it continueth till this day. The whole
great Warde of Farindon, both Infra and Extra, tooke name of
William Farendon Goldsmith, Alderman of that Warde, and one
of the Sheriffes of London, in the yere 1281. the 9. of Edward the
firſt, he purchased the Aldermanry of this Ward, as by this abstract

Then is the Shambles it selfe. And then Newgate Market. And
so the whole stréete on both sides vp to Newgate, is of this UUarde,
and thus it is wholly bounded.

Monuments in this UUarde, there be these. First the great
Crosse in UUest cheape.

Crosse in
Cheape buil-
ded.

But in the warde of Faringdon, the which
crosse was first erected in that place, in the yeare 1291. in the 19. of
Edward the firſt, vpon this occasion.

Queene Elianor his wife, dyed at Herdeby (a Towne neare
vnto the citie of Lincolne) her bodie was brought from thence to
Westminster. And this King (in memorie of her) caused at euery
place (where the bodie was staied in the way) a stately crosse of
stone to be made and erected, with the Quéenes Image and Armes
vpon it: as at Grantham, Woborne, Northampton, Stony Strat-
foord, Dunstable, S. Albons, Waltham, West Cheape, and at
Charing, from whence she was conueyed to Westminster, and
there buried.

This Crosse in west cheape, being like to those other, which re-
maine till this day, and being by length of time decaied, Iohn Ha-
therley being Maior, procured in the yeare 1441. license of King
Henry the 6. in

and was new burnished against the Coronation of Edward the ſixt.
And gilt againe in the yeare 1554. against the comming in of king
Philip. Since the which time, the said Crosse

hauing bene presented
by diuers Iuries (or Wardmote Inquests) to stand in the highway,
to the let of carriages, &c. In the yeare 1581. the 21. of Iune in the
night, the lowest Images about the said Crosse, were broken and
defaced.

Wherupon proclamation was made, that who so wold bewray the
doers therof, shuld haue fortie crownes: but nothing came to light.
The Image of the blessed virgin at the time robbed of her son, and
her armes broken by which shee staied him on her knées, her whole
bodie also was strained with ropes so as it was readie to fall: But
was in the yeare 1595. againe fastened and repaired. In the yeare
1596. about Bartholomewtide1, a new Sonne mishapen (as borne
out of time) was laide in her armes. The other Images remaining
broken as before.

At the North corner of this stréete, on the same side, was sometime
an Hermitage,

Hermitage of
S. Iames in the
Wall.

(or Chappell of Saint Iames) called in the Wall,
neare Cripplegate: it belonged to the Abbey and Couent of Gara-
don, as appeareth by a record of Edward the firſt in the twentie
ſeuen yeare. And by a record of Edward the third, the ſixtéenth
yeare. William de Lyons was Hermit there, and the Abbot and
Couent of Geredon, founded two Chapleins, cistercian Monkes of
their house: in this Hermitage, one of them was founded there, for
Aymor de Valence, Earle of Pembrooke, and Mary de Saint
Paule, his Countesse.

Of these Monkes, and of a well pertaining to them, the stréete
tooke that name, and is called Monkes-well streete. This Hermi-
tage with the purtenāces, was in the raigne of Edward the ſixt pur-
chased from the said King, by William Lambe one of the gentlemen
of the kings Chappell, Citizen and cloathworker of London: he de-
ceased in the yeare 1577. and then gaue it to the Cloath-workers

Then was there of olde time, a proper Parish Church of Saint

builded in a court with a well, &c.

Then is Stinking lane,

there little cells, wherein they inhabited, but shortly after, the de-

councell had giuen prohibition, that none, Cnglishmen5 or other,

William by the grace of God, King of Englishmen, To all his
welbeloued French and English people, greeting. Know ye that
I do giue vnto God and the Church of S. Paule of London, and to
the Rectors and Seruitors of the same, in all their lands which the
Church hath, or shall haue, within borough and without, sack and
socke, Thole and The, Infangthefe, and Grithbriche, and all
freeshippes by sea and by land, on tyde, and off tyde, and all the
rights that into them. Christendome by rad and more speake and
on buright hamed, and on buright worke, afore all the Bishop-
pricks in mine land: and on each other mans land. For I will that
the Church in all things be as free as I would my soule to be in the

In the yeare 1087. this church of S. Paule

was brent with
fire, and therwith the more part of the citie which fire began at the
entry of the West gate, and consumed to the East gate. Mauricius
then Bishop, began therefore the foundation of a new church of S.
Paule,

a work that men of that time iudged wold neuer haue bin fini-
shed, it was to them so wonderfull for length & breadth, & also ye same
was builded vpon Arches (or Uaultes) of stone, for defence of fire,
which was a manner of woorke before that time vnknowne to the
people of this Nation, and then brought in by the French: and the
stone was fetcht from Cane in Normandy.

This Mauricius deceased in the yeare 1107. Richard Beamor
succéeded him in the Bishoppricke, who did wonderfully increase
the said church, purchasing of his owne cost, the large stréetes and
Lanes about it, wherin were wont to dwel many laye people, which
ground he began to compasse about, with a strong wall of stone and
gates. King Henry the first gaue to the said Richard, so much of the
Mote (or Wall) of the castle, on the Thames side to the South, as
should be néedfull to make the said wal of the church, and so much as
should suffise to make a wall without the way on the North side, &c.

263

It should séeme that this Richard inclosed but two sides of the
saide church or Semitorie of Saint Paule, to wit, the South and
North sides: for King Edward the second, in the tenth of his raigne,
graunted that the saide church yarde should be inclosed with a wall
where it wanted, for the murthers and robberies that were there
committed. But the cittizens then claimed the East part of the
church yarde to bee the place of assembly to their folkemotes,

calling togi-
ther of the
Citizens to

motes.

and
that the great stéeple there scituate was to that vse, their common
bell, which being there rung, all the inhabitants of the citie might
heare and come togither. They also claimed the West side, that
they might there assemble themselues togither, with the Lorde of
Baynardes castle, for view of their Armour in defence of the citie.
This matter was in the Tower of London referred to Haruius
de Stanton, and his fellow Iustices Itenerantes: but I finde not
the decision or iudgement of that controuersie.

True it is, that Edward the third, in the ſeuentéene of his raigne,
gaue commandement for the finishing of that wall, which was then
performed, and to this day it continueth. Although now on both the
sides (to wit, within and without) it be hidden with dwelling hou-
ses. Richard Beamer deceased in the yeare 1127. and his successors
in processe of time, performed the worke begunne.

The stéeple of this church was builded and finished in

1222. The crosse on the said stéeple fell downe, and a new was set
vp in the yeare 1314. The new worke of Powles (so called) at the

and was there buried, in the yeare 1310. Also Raphe Baldocke

the building of the saide newe worke: and left much by his Testa-
ment, towards the finishing thereof, he deceased in the yeare 1313
and was buried in the Lady chappell.

bray, or dance of death, commonly called the dance of Pauls: the like
wherof, was painted about S. Innocents cloister, at Paris in Frāce:
the metres or poesie of this daunce, were translated out of French
into English, by Iohn Lidgate, the Monke of Bery, & with ye picture
of Death, leading all estates painted about the Cloyster: at the
speciall request and dispence of Iankin Carpenter, in the Raigne of
Henry the 6. In this Cloyster were buried many persons, some of
worship, and others of honour: the monuments of whom, in num-
ber and curious workemanship, passed all other that were in that
church.

Ouer the East Quadrant of this Cloyster, was

Stephen, who was there buried.

Thomas Moore Deane of Pauls before named, reedified
this Chappel, and founded thrée Chaplains there, in the raigne of
Henry the 5.

In the yeare 1549. on the tenth of Aprill, the said Chappell
by commaundement of the Duke of Summerset, was begun to bee
pulled downe, with the whole Cloystrie, the daunce of Death, the
Tombes, and monuments: so that nothing thereof was left, but the
bare plot of ground, which is since conuerted into a garden, for the
Pety Canons. There was also a Chapel at the North dore of Pauls,

founded by the same Walter Sherington, by license of Henry the
sixt, for two, thrée, or foure Chaplains, indowed with fortie pound by

Edward the ſixt, and in place thereof, a faire house builded.

There was furthermore, a faire Chapel of the holy Ghost in Pauls
church, on the North side: founded in the yeare, 1400. by Roger
Holmes, Chauncelor and Prebendary of Pauls, for

Holmes Col-
ledge.

Adam Bery
Alderman, Iohn Wingham and others, for seuen Chaplains, and
called Holmes Colledge. Their common Hall was in Pauls church
yard on the South side. This Colledge also was with others sup-

pressed

266

in the raigne of Edward the ſixt. Then vnder the Quire of
Paules is a large chapel, first dedicated to the name of Iesu, founded
the 37. of Henry the ſixt, as appeareth by his patent thereof, dated
at Crodowne to this effect. Many liege men, and Christian people
hauing begun a fraternitie, and guild, to the honour of the most glo-
rious name of Iesu Christ our Sauiour, in a place called ye crowdes
of the Cathedrall church of Paules in London, which hath continu-
ed long time peaceably, till now of late: whereupon they haue made
request, and we haue taken vpon vs the name and charge of the
foundation, to the laude of Almightie God, the Father, the Sonne
and the holy Ghost, and especially to the honour of Iesu, in whose
honour, the fraternitie was begun, &c.

The King ordained William Say then Deane of Pauls to bee
the Rector, and Richard Ford, (a remembrancer in the Exchequer)
and Henry Bennis (clarke of his priuie Seale) the Gardians of
these brothers and sisters: they and theyr successors to haue a com-
mon seale: license to purchase lands or tenements to the value of 40
pound by the yeare, &c.

This foundation was confirmed by Henry the seuenth, the
two and twentie of his reigne, to Doctor Collet, then Deane of
Powles, Rector there, &c. And by Henry the eight, the ſeuen
and twentieth of his raigne, to Richard Pace, then Deane of
Pauls, &c.

At the West ende of this Iesus chapell, vnder the Quire
of Pauls, also was a Parish church of Saint Fayth,

Fayths church were remooued into the same Iesus chapell, as to a
place more sufficient for largenesse and lightsomenesse, then
their former church was, and so it still remaineth to that
vse.

signe to God, and to the church of Saint Paul, ten markes of rent
by the yeare for euer, towards the new building of a chapell of the
blessed Uirgin Mary, and also to assigne fiue markes of yearly rent
to a Chaplaine to celebrate there.

Moreouer in the yeare 1430. the eight of Henry the ſixt,

Whittington) to establish vpon the said Charnell, a Chaplaine,
to haue eight markes by the yeare: Then was also in this chapel,
two brotherhoods. In this chapell were buried Robert Barton,
and Henry Barton Maior, and Thomas Mirfin Maior, all Skin-
ners, and were entombed with their Images of Alablaster ouer
them, grated about with Iron: all which, was pulled downe in the

know not by whose gift: the same had a great speare of timber, co-
uered with Lead, with the image of Saint Paul on the top, but was
pulled downe by sir Miles Partredge knight, in the raigne of Henry
the eight.

The common spéech then was, that he did set an hundred poūd
vpon a cast at dice against it, and so wonne the saide Clocheard
and belles of the King: and then causing the belles to be broken as
they hoong, the rest was pulled downe and broken also. This man
was afterward executed on the Tower hill, for matters concerning
the Duke of Summerset, in the yeare 1551. the fift of Edward the

Also in the yeare 1262. the same King caused to bee read at

Six citizens of London, and two Pettie Canons of Powles
church, hadde charge to further and ouersée the woorke, wherein
such expedition was vsed, that within one moneth next following the
burning thereof, the church was couered with boordes and lead, in
manner of a false Roofe against the weather, and before the ende of
the said yeare, all the said Iles of the church were framed out of new
timber, couered with leade, and fully finished. The same yeare also,
the great Roofes of the West and East endes were framed out of
great timber in Yorkeshiere, brought thence to London by sea, and
set vp, and couered with leade. But concerning the stéeple, litle was
done, through whose default God knoweth: it was said, that the mo-

Deane of Powles, and to the chapter there, that in consideration of
twentie two Akers of ground or land, by them granted within their
manor of Westley in Essex, to be inclosed into his park of Curing-
ham, he would for euer vpon the feast day of the conuersion of Saint
Paul in winter, giue vnto them a good Doe, seasonable and swéete,
and vpon the feast of the commemoration of Saint Paul in summer,
a good Bucke, and offer the same at the high Alter, the same to bee

spent amongst the Canons residents: the Doe to bee brought by
one man at the houre of Procession, and through the Procession to
the high Alter: and the bringer to haue nothing: the Bucke to
be brought by all his meyney in like manner, and they to haue payd
vnto them by the Chamberlaine of the church, 12. pence onely, and
no more to be required. This graunt he made, and for performance,
bound the lands of him and his heires to bee distrained on: and
if the landes shoulde bee euicted, that yet hee and his heires
shoulde accomplishe the gift. Witnesses Richard Tilbery,
William de Vockendon, Richard de Harlowe, Knights,
Peter of Stanforde, Thomas of Waldon, and some o-
thers.

Syr Walter Baude Knight, son10ne to William, confir-
med this gift, in the thirtieth of the ſaid King, and the witnesses
thereunto, were Nicholas de Wokendon, Richard de Rokeley,
Thomas de Mandeuile, Iohn de Rocheford, Knights, Richard
de Broniforde; William de Markes, William de Fulham, and
other. Thus much for the grant.

Now what I haue heard by report, and haue partly séene, it
followeth. On the feast day of the Cōmemoration of Saint Paul, the
bucke beeing brought vp to the steps of the high Alter in Powles
church, at the houre of Procession, the Deane and chapter
being apparelled in Coapes and Uestments, with garlands of
Roses on their heads, they sent the body of the Bucke to baking,
and had the head fixed on a powle, boorne before the Crosse in
in their procession, vntill they issued out of the West doore,
where the kéeper that brought it, blowed the death of the
Bucke, and then the Horners that were about the Cittie,
presentlie aunswered him in like manner: for the which paines,
they had each one, of the Deane and Chapter, foure pence in
money, and their dinner: and the kéeper that brought it, was
allowed during his aboade there, for that seruice, meate,
drinke and lodging, at the Deane and Chapters charges,
and fiue shillings in money at his going away, togither with
a loafe of bread, hauing the picture of Saint Paule vppon
it, &c.
