NExt vnto Bredstréet Warde, on the South side
therof, is Quéen Hithe Ward, so called of a wa-
ter gate, or harborow for Boates, Lighters and
Barges, and was of olde time for shippes, at
what time, the timber bridge of London was
drawne vp, for the passage of them to the saide
Hithe, as to a principall strand for landing and
vnlading against the middest and hart of the
Citie. This Warde beginneth in the East, in Knightriders stréete,
on the South side thereof, at the East ende of the Parish church cal-
led the holy Trinitie, and runneth West on the South side to a lane
called Lambert hill, which is the length of the Warde in Knightri-
ders stréete, out of the which stréet are diuers Lanes, running South
to Thames stréete, and are of this Warde: the first is Trinitie
Lane, which runneth downe by the West end of Trinitie Church.
Then is Spuren Lane, 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 to-
wards Thames stréete 25. foote &c.

First, in Knightriders stréete, is the
small Parish
Church of
the holy Trinitie, very olde and in daunger of downe falling: col-
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, somewhat auncient, as appeareth by the
wayes raised thereabout: it hath béene called of many, Golden
Abbey, of some Colde Abbey, and so hath the most auncien-
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. Also

North side, at the South ende of Saint Mary Mounthaunt Lane,
is the parish church of Saint Mary Summerset, 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,

a Lane called Saint Peters hill, but two houses vp that lane, on the

After
this, the Bayliffes of the saide Hithe complained, that sincethe 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 with Fish, should in forme aforesaid, arriue elsewhere
then at this Hithe, it 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 the owners would ap-
point them.
After this, the saide Henry the third, confirmed the graunt of
Richard Earle of Cornwell, for the Farme of the Quéene Hithe,

Former Student Contributors
We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
