In this
Fryday stréete on the West side thereof, is a
Lane, commonly called Mayden Lane, or Distaffe Lane, corruptly for Distar
Lane, which runneth West into the olde Exchange: and in this lane
is also one other Lane, on the South side thereof, likewise called Di
star Lane, which runneth downe to Knightriders Stréete, or olde
Fishstréete: and so be the boundes of this whole Warde. The Mo
numents to bee noted here, are first, the most bewtifull frame and
front of faire houses and shops, that be within all the walles of Lon
don, or elsewhere in England, commonly called Godsmithes rowe,
betwixt Breadstréet end, and the Crosse in Cheape, but is within
this Breadstréete Warde: the same was builded by Thomas Wood
Goldsmith, one of the Sheriffes, in the yeare 1491. It continueth
in number, tenne faire dwelling houses, and fouretéene shops, all in
one frame vniformely builded, foure stories high, bewtified towards
the stréete, with the Goldsmithes Armes, and the likenesse of wood
men (in memorie of his name) riding on monstrous beasts, all which
is cast in Leade, richly painted ouer, and guilt: these hee gaue to the
Goldsmithes, with stockes of money to be lent to young men, ha
uing those shops &c.
This said Front was againe new painted and guilt ouer, in
the yeare 1594. Sir Richard Martin being then Maior, and kéeping

Noble stréet: but since he sheweth no reason why it was so called, I
rather take it so named of the great high way of the same calling.
True it is, that at this present as of olde time also, the inhabitants
thereof were and are, wealthy Drapers, retailors of woollen cloathes
both broad and narrowe, of all sortes, more then in any one stréete of
this Citie. Of the olde Exchange, heere I haue noted in Faring

Locations
-
Bread Street Ward
MoEML is aware that the ward boundaries are inaccurate for a number of wards. We are working on redrawing the boundaries.

-
Westcheap is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Standard (Cheapside) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cheapside Cross (Eleanor Cross)
If monuments could speak, the Cheapside Cross would have told a tale of kingly love, civic pride, and sectarian violence. The Cross, pictured but not labelled on the Agas map, stood in Cheapside between Friday Street and Wood Street. St. Peter Westcheap lay to its west, on the north side of Cheapside. The prestigious shops of Goldsmiths’ Row were located to the east of the Cross, on the south side of Cheapside. The Standard in Cheapside (also known as the Cheap Standard), a square pillar/conduit that was also a ceremonial site, lay further to the east (Brissenden xi).Cheapside Cross (Eleanor Cross) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Watling Street
Watling Street ran east-west between St. Sythes Lane in Cordwainer Street Ward and Old Change in Bread Street Ward. It is visible on the Agas map under the labelWatlinge ſtreat.
Stow records that the street is also commonly known asNoble Street
(Stow 200). This should not lead to confusion with Noble Street in Aldersgate Ward. There is an etymological explanation for this crossover of names. According to Ekwall, the nameWatling
ultimately derives from an Old English word meaningking’s son
(Ekwall 81-82). Watling Street remains distinct from the Noble Street in Aldersgate Ward.Watling Street is mentioned in the following documents:

(Stow).Basing Lane is mentioned in the following documents:

Distaff Lane was in Bread Street Ward. There is some discrepancy between the Agas Map and the information in Stow. On the Agas Map, Distaff Lane (labelledDiſtaf la.
) appears to run south off Maiden Lane, terminating before it reaches Knightrider Street. Stow tells us, in his delineation of the bounds of Bread Street Ward, that Distaff Lanerunneth downe to Knightriders street, or olde Fishstreete
(1.345). Our map truncates Distaff Lane before Knightrider Street.Distaff Lane is mentioned in the following documents:

It was lined with buildings three, four, and even five stories tall, whose shopfronts were open to the light and set out with attractive displays of luxury commodities (Weinreb and Hibbert 148). Cheapside was the centre of London’s wealth, with many mercers’ and goldsmiths’ shops located there.

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.
