BRIDGE WARD
WITHOVT
,
The 26. in number, consisting of the Borough of
Southwarke
, in the County of Surrey.
HAving treated of Wards
in London, on the North
side the Thames (in num
ber five and twenty) I
am now to crosse over
the said River, into the
Borough of Southwarke, which is also
a Ward of London without the walls,
on the South side thereof, as is Portsoken
on the East, and Faringdon extra on the
West.
But before I come to the particular
description of this Ward, it will not be
impertinent to declare, when, and by
what meanes the Borough of Southwark
now called Bridge Ward without, was
made one of the six and twenty Wards,
belonging to the City of London; which
was in this manner:
After the dissolution of the Monaste
ries,
How the Borough of South
warke
be
came at the first to be one of the 26. Wards of London.
Abbeys, Priories, and other religi
ous Houses, in this Realme of England:
The Maior, Communalty, and Citi
zens of this City of London taking into
their considerations, how commodious
and convenient it would be unto the Ci
ty, to have the Borough of Southwarke
annexed thereunto, and that the same
Borough was in the Kings hands whol
ly; they became humble suiters unto
King Henry eighth, and to the Lords of
his Highnesse Privie Councell, for the
obtaining of the same. Which suit not
being granted unto them; after the de
cease of King Henry the eighth, they re
newed their suit unto his Sonne and
next successor, King Edward the sixth,
and to the Lords of his Privie Councell
for the obtaining of the same Borough.
At the length, after long suit, and
much labour, it pleased King Edward
the sixth

tieth day April, in the fourth yeere of
his reigne

Maior of London, and the Aldermen of
the same Citie, in the Guild-Hall of
London
, on Tuesday the eight and twen
tieth of May, in the said fourth yeere of
the raigne of King Edward the sixth
, the
said Towne or Borough was named and
called the Ward of Bridge Ward with

.
The Ward of Bridge Ward without; and Sir Iohn Ayliffe first Alder
man thereof.
And Sir Iohn Ayliffe, Knight, Ci
tizen and Barber-Surgeon of London,
was then also named, elected, and cho
sen by the same Court, to be Alder
man of the same Ward, albeit that be
fore that time there neyther was any
such Ward nor Alderman.
And it was then also ordered, That
the said Sir Iohn Ayliffe, by that name
of Alderman of Bridge Ward without,
and all other that from thenceforth
should be Alderman of the same Ward,
should have the Rule, Survey, and Go
vernment, not onely of the Inhabitants
of the said Towne & Borough of South
warke
, and other the Kings people re
payring to the same, but also of all the
Liberties, Franchises, and Priviledges
within the said Towne and Borough,
then formerly granted by the King and
his Progenitors to the said Maior,
Communaltie, and Citizens of Lon

.
Sir Iohn Ayliffe sworne & admitted in the Ma
ioralitie of Sir Row
land Hill
.
And for the due execution of
which Office, the said Sir Iohn Ayliffe
was then presently sworne and admit

Not long after, videlicet, at a Court
of Common Councell
, holden in the
Guild-Hall of London, on the last day of
Iuly, in the said fourth yeere of the
raigne of King Edward the sixth
, and in
the time of the Maioraltie of the said
Sir Rowland Hill, it was enacted, That
besides the then ancient accustomed
number of five and twentie Aldermen,
there should be one Alderman more
elected, to have the Rule, Charge, and
Governance of the said Borough and
Towne. And that foure discreet persons,
or more, being Freemen of London, and
dwelling within the said Cittie, or the
Borough of Southwarke, or in other the
Liberties of the said Citie, sould from
thenceforth, as often as the case should
require, be from time to time nomi
nated, appointed, and chosen by the In
habitants of the said Borough for the
time being, before the Lord Maior of
London for the time being, sitting in the
said Borough for that purpose, in such
sort and order, as the Aldermen of Lon
don
were in those dayes commonly ele
cted.
And that the said Lord Maior for the
time being should (at the next Court of
Aldermen
to be holden at the Guild-Hall
of the said Citie, next after such
election) present the names and sur
names of all such persons as so should
be named before him, and put in the
said election.
Election of an Al¦derman by Scrutiaie.
And that the said Lord
Maior & Aldermen for the time being,
should of those foure persons, or mo, so
presented, elect and chuse one, by way
of Scrutinie, to be an Alderman of the
said Citie, and to have the peculiar Or
dering, Rule and Governance of the said
Borough and Towne of Southwarke, and
of the Inhabitants thereof, and of all o
ther the Kings liege people, repayring
to the same.
And that the said Alderman so espe
cially elect and chosen, and from time
to time, as the cause sould require
thenceforth, to be elect and chosen for
the Survey and Government of the said
Borough, and the Inhabitants and other
remayning in and to the same, should
alwayes be named and called the Alder
man of Bridge Ward without,
The Alder
man of Bridge Ward without.
and by none
other Name, for or concerning that
Office, or Roome, and should have the
Cure and Charge of the good Ordering
and Government of the said Borough
and Towne of Southwarke
, and of the
Inhabitants and People of and in the
same, and of none other Place within
the said Citie, by reason or colour of the
said Roome, as long as he should re
maine and stand Alderman of the said
Ward, but as the residue of the said Al
dermen of the said Citie be commonly
charged: And therein to doe and use
himselfe, as other Aldermen within the
Liberties of the said Citie were accu
stomed and used to doe, in as much as
the Lawes and Statutes of this Realme
would permit and suffer.
Yet neverthelesse it was prouided, &
by the said Cōmon Councell further or
dained and enacted, That the said Sir
Iohn

and Bridge Ward without.
Iohn Ayliffe, Knight, should then be Al
derman of the said Ward: And that as
well the same Sir Iohn Ayliffe, as also all
and every person and persons, that
thenceforth should fortune to be Alder
man of the same Ward, should have
and enjoy like prerogative, liberty, and
benefit, to change and remove from the
same Ward,
The Al
derman to change from that Ward, as occasion served.
and to accept and take at
his and their free will and pleasure any
such other Ward or Wards within the
said City, as it should fortune him, or
them, or any of them, to be thenceforth
duely elect and chosen unto by the In
habitants of the same other VVard, or
VVards, or any of them in like manner
and forme, as the other Aldermen of
the said City lawfully might, and com
monly use to doe: Any thing in the said
recited Act to the contrary in any wise
notwithstanding.
Neverthelesse, at a Court of Alder
men
holden on Tuesday, the second of
September, in the said fourth yeere of
the reigne of king Edward the sixth
, and
in the time of the Maioralty of the said
Sir Rowland Hill, it was ordered, That
the Aldermen of Bridge Ward without,
for the time being,
The Al
derman of Bridge Ward with
out
to con
tinue so for the space of 3 yeeres, without removing.
should stand and re
maine Alderman of the same VVard
three whole yeeres next after his electi
on, before hee should bee permitted to
bee removed to the governance of any
other VVard: Notwithstanding any
former Law, Vsage, or Custome.
But afterwards it seemeth, upon bet
ter advice, that another order should be
taken in the election of the Alderman
of the same Ward: For at a Common
Councell
holden in the Guild-Hall in
London
, on the 16. day of Iune, in the
fourth and fifth yeeres of King Philip
and Queene Mary,and in the time of
the Maioralty of Sir Thomas Curtis,
Knight, the said former Act, made on
the last day of Iuly, in the fourth yeere
of King Edward the sixth
, for so much
thereof as did concerne the forme and
order of the election of the Alderman
of the said VVard of Bridge Ward with
out
,
4. Another order for electing the Alder
man of Bridge Ward with
out
, in the time of K. Philip & Queen Mary.
was utterly repealed. And then it
was enacted, That from thenceforth
the Alderman of the same Ward should
alwaies, at the time of vacation, or lack
of an Alderman thereof, be elected and
chosen by the Lord Maior and Alder
men of London, for the time being, at a
full Court of Aldermen, by them to be
holden in the Inner Chamber of the
Guild-Hall of the same City in this
manner, viz. That the Lord Maior and
Aldermen should at their said full
Court, amongst themselves, nominate
foure discreet and meet Citizens, being
Freemen of London, either resiant with
in the said Borough, or in London, or the
Liberties thereof, to be put in election
of Alderman of that Ward. And of the
said foure persons so nominated, the
said Lord Maior and Aldermen should
by Scrutiny, according to their accusto
med manner, elect one to bee Alder
man of the same VVard: VVhich Al
derman, so by them elected and sworne,
should use and behave himselfe in all
things, as by the residue of the former
Act of Common Councell, made the
last day of Iuly, in the fourth yeere of
King Edward the sixth
was ordained
and appointed.
Thus having declared, by what means
and at what time the said Borough of
Southwarke
was made and named one
of the sixe and twenty VVards, now
belonging to the City of London; I in
tend to proceed to the description of
the severall particular places of the
same VVard, and likewise of such Mo
numents of Antiquity, as are to bee
found therein.
This Borough being in the County
of Surrey, consisteth of divers streetes,
waies, and winding lanes, all full of
buildings inhabited: and first, to begin
at the West part thereof, over-against
the West Suburbe of the City.
On the banke of the River Thames,
there is now a continuall building of
Thenements, about halfe a mile in length
to the Bridge.
Then South a continuall street called
Long Southwarke, builded on both sides
with divers Lanes and Allies up to St.
Georges Church
, and beyond it thorow
Blackman street, towards Newtowne (or
Newington) the liberties of which Bo
rough extend almost to the Parish
Church of Newtowne
aforesaid, distant
one mile from London bridge, and also
Southwest a continuall building, almost
to Lambith, more than one mile from
the said Bridge.
Qq2
Then


Then from the Bridge along by the
Thames Eastward, is S. Olaves street, ha
ving continuall building on both the
sides, with lanes and Alleyes up to Bat
tle bridge
, to Horse-downe, and towards
Rother-hith: also some good halfe mile
in length from London bridge.
So that I account the whole continu
all buildings on the Banke of the said
River, from the West towards the East,
to be more than a large mile in length.
Then have yee from the entring to
wards the said Horsedowne, one other
continuall street, called Barmondes eye
strees
, which stretcheth South, likewise
furnished with buildings on both sides,
almost halfe a mile in length, up to the
late dissolved Monastery of S. Saviour,
called Bermondsey.
And from thence is one long lane (so
called of the length) turning West to
Saint Georges Church afore-named.
Out of the which lane mentioned Long
lane
, breaketh one other street towards
the South and by East, and this is called
Kentish street, for that it is the way lea
ding into that Country: and so have
you the bounds of this Borough.
The Antiquities most notable in this
Borough are these: first, for Ecclesiasti
call, there was Bermondsey, an Abbey of
blacke Monkes, Saint Mary Overies, a
Priory of Canons Regular, Saint Thomas
a Colledge or Hospitall for the poore,
and the Loke, a Lazar-house in Kent
street
. Parish Churches there have been
sixe, whereof five doe remaine, (viz.)
Saint Mary Magdalen, in the Priory of
Saint Mary Overy
: now the same Saint
Mary Overy
is the Parish Church for
the said Mary Magdalen, and for Saint
Margaret on the Hill
, and is called St.
Saviour
.
Saint Margaret on the Hill being put
downe, is now a Court for Iustice. S.
Thomas in the Hospitall

Houses most notable, be these.
The Abbot of Hyde his House.
The Abbot of Battaile his House.
The Stewes on the Banke of Thames.
And the Beare-Gardens there.
Now to returne to the West Banke:
there were two Beare-Gardens, the Old
and New, Places wherein were kept
Beares, Buls, and other Beasts, to be bay
ted: As also Mastives, in severall kenels,
nourished to baite them. These Beares,
and other Beasts are there baited in
plots of ground, scaffolded about, for
the beholders to stand safe.
Next, on this Banke,

was sometime
the Bordello or Stewes, a place so called,
of certaine Stew-houses priviledged
there,
The Stewes on the Bank-side.
for the repaire of incontinent
men to the like women; of the which
Priviledge I have read thus:
In a Parliament holden at Westmin
ster
, the eighth of Henry the second, it
was ordained by the Commons, and confir
med by the King and Lords, That di
vers Constitutions for ever should be kept
within that Lordship, or Franchise, accor
ding to the old Customes, that had beene
there used time time of minde: Amongst
the which, these following were some: vi
delicet
.
That no Stew-holder, or his wife, should
let or stay any single woman to goe and
come freely at all times, when they li
sted.
No Stew-holder to keepe any woman to
boord, but she to boord abroad at her plea
sure.
To take no more for the womans chamber
in the Weeke, than foureteene pence.
Not


Not to keepe open his doores upon the Ho
ly-dayes.
Not to keepe any single woman in his
house on the Holy-dayes, but the Bay
liffe to see them voyded out of the Lord
ship.
No single woman to bee kept against her
will, that would leave her sinne.
No Stew-holder receive any woman of
Religion, or any mans wife.
No single woman to take mony to lye with
any man, except she lye with him all night,
till the morrow.
No man to be drawne or enticed into any
Stew-house.
The Constables, Bayliffe, and others, e
very weeke to search every Stew-house.
No Stew-holder to keepe any woman, that
hath the perillous infirmity of Burning; nor
to sell Bread, Ale, Flesh, Fish, Wood, Coale,
or any Victuals, &c.
These and many more Orders were
to bee observed, upon great paine and
punishment.
I have also seene divers Patents of
confirmation,
Li. S. Mary Eborum.
namely, one dated 1345.
the ninetenth of Edward the third.
English people disdayned to bee Bawds.
Also
I finde, that in the fourth of Richard the
second
, these Stew-houses belonging to
William Walworth, then Maior of London,
were farmed by Froes of Flaunders,
Froes of Flaunders were wo
men for that pur
pose.
and
spoyled by Walter Tylar, and other Re
bels of Kent: notwithstanding, I finde
that ordinances for the same place, and
houses, were againe confirmed in the
reigne of Henry the sixth, and to be con
tinued as before. Also Robert Fabian
writeth, that in the yeere 1506. the one
and twentieth of Henry the seventh
,
Stew hou
ses put downe by Henry the 7. for a time.
the
said Stew-houses in Southwarke were
(for a season) inhabited, and the doores
closed up: but it was not long (saith he)
ere the houses there were set open a
gaine, so many as were permitted, for
(as it was said) whereas before were
eighteen houses, from thenceforth were
appointed to be used but twelve onely.
These allowed Stew-houses had signes
on their fronts, towards the Thames,
not hanged out, but painted on the wals
as a Boares head,
Signes on the Stew-houses.
the Crosse keyes, the
Gunne, the Castle, the Crane, the Car

, the Bell, the Swanne, &c.
I have heard ancient men of good cre
dit report, that these single women
were forbidden the rights of the
Church,
Single women forbidden rights of the Church.
so long as they continued that
sinnefull life, and were excluded from
Christian buriall, if they were not re
conciled before their death. And ther
fore there was a plot of ground, called
the Single womens Churchyard, appointed
for them, far from the Parish Church.
In the yeere of Christ, a thousand five

Stew-hou

the seven and thir
tieth of Henry the eighth
, this row
of Stewes in Southwarke was put downe
by the Kings commandement, which
was proclaimed by sound of Trumpet
no more to be priviledged, and used as
a common Brothel; but the inhabitants
of the same to keepe good and honest
rule, as in other places of this Realm, &c.
Then next is the Clinke, a Gaole or
Prison for the Trespassers in those parts;
namely, in old time for such as should
brabble, fray, or breake the peace on
the said Banke, or in the Brothell hou
ses, they were by the inhabitants there
about apprehended and committed to
this Gaole, where they were straightly
imprisoned.
Next is the Bishop of Winchesters
house
, or lodging when he commeth to
this City: which house was first buil
ded by William Gifford, Bishop of Win
chester
, about the yeere one thousand
one hundred and seven
, the seventh of
Henry the first
, upon a plot of ground
pertaining to the Prior of Bermondsey,
as appeareth by a Writ directed unto
the Barons of the Exchequer, in the
yeere 1366. the one and fortieth of Ed
ward
the third
(the Bishops Sea being
void) for 8. pounds due to the Monkes
of Bermondsey, for the Bishop of Winche
sters
lodging in Southwarke
. This is a
very faire house wel repayred, and hath
a large Wharfe, and a landing place cal
led the Bishop of Winchesters staires.
Adjoyning to this on the South side
thereof, is the Bishop of Rochesters Inne
or lodging, by whom first erected I doe
not now remember me to have read, but
well I wot, the same of long time
hath not beene frequented by any Bi
shop, and lyeth ruinous for lacke of re
parations. The Abbot of Naverley had
a house there.
East from the Bishop of Winchesters
house
, directly over-against it standeth
Qq3

a faire Church, called S. Mary over the

Saint Ma

a Priory, and now a Parish Church.
or Overy, that is, over the water.
This Church, or some other in place
thereof, was (of old time long before the
Conquest) an house of Sisters, founded
by a Maiden, named Mary, unto the
which house and Sisters she left (as was
left to her by her Parents) the over-sight
and profits of a Crosse Ferrie, or traverse
Ferry over the Thames, there kept be
fore that any Bridge was builded. This
house of Sisters was after by Swithen a
noble Lady, converted unto a Colledge
of Priests, who in place of the Ferrie,
builded a Bridge of Timber, and from
time to time kept the same in good re
parations; but lastly the same Bridge
was builded of Stone, and then in the
yeere 1106. was this Church againe
founded for Canons Regular, by William
Pont de le Arch
, and William Dauncy,
Knights Normans.
William Gifford, Bishop of Winchester,
was a good Benefactor also,
Lib. Rufen.
for hee (as
some have noted) builded the body of
that Church,
Liber Ber
mondsey.
in the yeere one thou
sand, one hundred and sixe
, the seventh
of Henry the first
.
The Canons first entred the said
Church, then Algodus was the first Prior.
King Stephen confirmeth the gift of
King Henry, and also gave the Stone
House, which was William de Ponte le
Arche
, by Downgate.
This Priory was burned about the
yeere 1207. wherefore the Canons did
found an Hospitall neere unto their Pri
ory, where they celebrated untill the
Priory was repayred: which Hospi
tall was after (by consent of Peter de la
Roch
, Bishop of Winchester) removed into
the land of Anicins, Archdeacon of Sur
rey
, in the yeere 1228. a place where
the water was more plentifull, and the
ayre more wholsome, and was dedica
ted to S. Thomas.
This Peter de Rupibus, or de la Roch,
founded a large Chappell of Saint Ma
ry Magdalen
, in the said Church of St.
Mary Overy
, which chappell was after
ward appointed to be the Parish Church
for the inhabitants neere adjoyning.
This Church was again newly builded
in the reigne of Richard the second and
King Henry the fourth.
Iohn Gower, Esquire, a famous Poet,
was then an especialll Benefactor to that
worke,
Iohn Gower was no Knight, neither had he a
ny Gar
land of lvie and Roses, but a Chaplet of foure Roses on
ly.
and was there buried on the
North side of the said Church, in the
Chappell of Saint Iohn , where he foun
ded a Chantry, hee lyeth under a
Tombe of Stone, with his Image also
of Stone over him. The haire of his
head aburne, long to his shoulders, but
curling up, and a small forked beard;
on his head a Chaplet, like a coronet
of foure Roses, an habite of Purple, da

Esses of gold about his necke, under his
feet the likenesse of three Bookes,
which hee compiled. The first, named
Speculum Meditantis, written in French:
The second, Vox Clamantis, penned in
Latine: The third, Confessio Amantis,
written in English, and this last is prin
ted. Vox Clamantis, with his Cronica
Tripartita
, and other both in Latine and
French, never printed, I have and doe
poffesse, but Speculum Meditantis, I ne
ver saw, though heard thereof to bee
in Kent; Beside on the wall where he ly

given to Saint Mary Overies by Henry
the first
, put downe and joyned with
the Parish Church of Saint Mary Mag
dalen
, and united to the late dissolved
Priory Church of S. Mary Overy.
A part of this Parish Church of St.
Margaret
is now a Court, wherein the
Assises and Sessions bee kept, and the
Court of Admiralty is also there kept.
One other part of the same Church is
now a Prison, called the Compter in
Southwarke
, &c.
Farther up on that side, almost di
rectly over-against St. Georges Church,
was sometime a large and most sump
tuous house, builded by Charles Bran
don
, late Duke of Suffolke, in the reigne
of Henry the eighth
, which was called
Suffolke house; but comming afterwards
into the Kings hands, the same was
called Southwarke Place, and a Mint of
Coynage was there kept for the King.
To this place came King Edward the
sixth
, in the second of his reigne, from
Hampton Court, and dined in it. He at
that time made Iohn Yorke, one of the
Sheriffes of London, Knight, and then
rode through the City to Westminster.
Queene Mary gave this house to Ni
cholas Heth
, Archbishop of Yorke, and
to his successors for ever, to bee their
Inne or lodging for their repaire to Lon
don
, in recompence of York house, neere
to Westminster, which King Henry her
father had taken from Cardinall Wool
sey
, and from the Sea of Yorke.
Archbishop Heth sold the same house
to a Merchant, or to Merchants, that
pulled it downe, sold the Lead, Stone,
Iron, &c. and in place thereof builded
many small Cottages of great rents, to
the increasing of beggars in that Bo
rough. The Archbishop bought Nor
wich House
, or Suffolke Place, neere unto
Charing-Crosse, because it was neere un
to the Court, and left it to his succs
sors. Now on the South side, to returne
backe again towards the Bridge. Over-against
this Suffolke Place, is the Parish
Church of Saint George
, sometime per
taining to the Priory of Bermondsey, by
the gift of Thomas Arderne, and Thomas
his son, in the yeere 1122.

Which must out of the Angell rents,
quarterly be receiv’d,
By the Church-wardens of this Church,
whom he hath put in trust,
As Fathers in the poores behalfe,
to be upright and just.
Which men I doubt not but our God,
who seeth all things, shall finde
True in dispersing of the same,
according to his minde.
Ye poore, thanke Christ for Savage still,
extoil Gods name with praise,
That he to follow his good art,

Next, is the Gaole or Prison of the
Kings Bench
, but of what antiquity the
same is, I know not. For I have read,
that the Courts of the Kings Bench and
Chancery, have oft times been removed
from London to other places, and so hath
likewise the other Gaoles that serve
those Courts, as in the yeere 1304. Ed
ward
the first
commanded the Courts
of the Kings Bench
and the Exchequer,
which had remained seven yeeres at
Yorke, to be removed to their old places
at London. And in the yeere 1387. the
eleventh of Richard the second, Robert
Trisilian
chiefe Iustice, came to the Ci
tie of Coventry, and there sate by the
space of a moneth, as Iustice of the Kings
Benche
, and caused to be indited in that
Court, about the number of 2000. per
sons of that Country, &c.
It seemeth therefore, that for that
time, the Prison or Gaole of that Court
was not far off. Also, in the yeere 1392.
the sixteenth of the same Richard, the
Archbishop of Yorke being Lord Chan
cellor, for good will that he bare to his
City, caused the Kings Bench and Chan
cery to bee removed from London to
Yorke, but ere long they were returned
to London.
Then is the Marshalsey another Gaole
or Prison, so called, as pertaining to the
Marshals of England. Of what continu
ance kept in Southwarke, I have not lear
ned: but like it is, that the same hath
been removeable, at the pleasure of the
Marshals. For I finde, that in the yeere
1376. the 50. of Edward the third, Hen
ry Percy
(being Marshall) kept his pri
soners in the City of London, where ha
ving committed one Iohn Prendargest,
of Norwich, contrary to the liberties of
the City of London, the Citizens, by per
swasion of the Lord Fitzwalter,1 their
Standard-bearer, tooke armour, and
ranne with great rage to the Marshals
Inne
, brake up the gates, brought out
the prisoner, and conveighed him a
way, minding to have burnt the stockes
in the middest of their City; but they
first sought for Sir Henry Percy, to have
punished him, as I have noted in my
Annals.
More, about the Feast of Easter next
following, Iohn Duke of Lancaster, ha
ving caused all the whole Navie of Eng
land
to be gathered together at London,
it chanced a certaine Esquire to kill one
of the Mariners, which act the other
Mariners taking in ill part, they brought
their suit into the Kings Court of the
Marshalsey
, which then as chanced (saith
mine Author) was kept in Southwarke:
but when they perceived that Court to
be


be so favourable to the murderer; and
further, that the Kings Warrant was
also gotten for his pardon; they in great
fury ranne to the house, wherein the
murderer was imprisoned,
Saylers brake up the Mar
shalsey
.
brake into
it, and brought forth the prisoner with
his Gives on his legges, they thrust a
knife to his heart, and sticked him, as if
hee had beene a Hogge: after this they
tyed a rope to his Gives, and drew him
to the Gallowes, where when they had
hanged him, as though they had done
a great act, they caused the Trumpets
to bee sounded before them to their
ships, and there in great triumph they
spent the rest of the day.
Also the Rebels of Kent,
Rebels of Kent brake up the Marshalsey.
in the yeere
1381. brake downe the houses of the
Marshalsey
and Kings Bench in South
warke
, tooke from thence the prisoners,
brake downe the house of Sir Iohn Im
morth
,2 then Marshall of the Marshalsey,
and Kings Bench, &c. After this, in the
yeere 1387. the eleventh of Richard the
second
, the morrow after Bartholomew
day
, the King kept a great Councell in
the Castle of Nottingham, and the Mar
shalsey
of the King was then kept at
Lughborow, by the space of sixe daies or
more. In the yeere 1443. Sir Walter
Many
, was Marshall of the Marshalsey,
the two and twentieth of Henry the
sixth
. William Brandon, Esquire, was
Marshall in the eighth of Edward the
fourth
. In the yeere 1504. the priso
ners of the Marshalsey then in Southwark
brake out, and many of them being ta
ken were executed, especially such as
had beene committed for Felony or
Treason.
From thence towards London bridge,
on the same side, bee many faire Innes,
for receit of travellers, by these signes,
the Spurre, Christopher, Bull, Queens
head
, Tabard, George, Hart, Kings
head
, &c. Amongst the which, the
most ancient is the Tabard, so called of
the signe, which as wee now terme it,
is of a lacket or sleevelesse coate, whole
before, open on both sides, with a square
collar, winged at the shoulders: a state
ly garment, of old time commonly
worne of Noblemen and others, both at
home and abroad in the wars; but then
(to wit, in the warres) their Armes em
broidered, or otherwise depict upon
them, that every man by his Coate of
Armes might bee knowne from others:
But now these Tabards are onely worne
by the Heralds, and bee called their
Coates of Armes in Service. For the
Inne of the Tabard, Geffrey Chaucer,
Esquire, the most famous Poet of Eng
land
, in commendation thereof, writeth
thus:
It befell in that season, on a day,
In Southwarke, at the Tabert, as I lay,
Ready to wend on my Pilgrimage
To Canturbury, with full devout courage;
That night was comen into the Hostery
Well nine and twenty in a company,
Of sundry folke, by adventure yfall,
In fellowship and Pilgrims were they all,
That toward Canturbury woulden ride:
The Stables and Chambers werenwide,
And well we were eased at the best, &c.
Within this Inne was also the Lodg
ing of the Abbot of Hide (by the City
of Winchester) a faire house for him and
his Traine,
The Ab
bot of Hide his Lodging.
when hee came to the City
to Parliament, &c.
And then Theeves lane, by St. Thomas
Hospitall
. The Hospitall of St. Thomas
first founded by Richard, Prior of Ber
mendsey
, in the Sellerers ground, against
the wall of the Monastery, in the yeere
1213. Hee named it the Almery, or
House of Almes, for Converts and
poore Children; for the which ground
the Prior ordained, that the AThis text has been supplied. Reason: The text is not clear for some reason not covered by other values of @reason. Evidence: The text has been supplied based on evidence internal to this text (context, etc.). (CH)lmoner

yeerly to the Sellerer at Michaelmas.
But Peter de Rupibus,
Li. S. Mary Overy. S. Thomas Hospitall the second time founded.
Bishop of Win
chester
, in the yeere 1215. founded the
same againe more fully for Canons Re
gular, in place of the first Hospitall: He
increased the rent thereof to three hun
dred forty foure pounds by the yeere.
Thus was this Hospitall holden of the
Prior and Abbot of Bermondsey, till the
yeere 1428. at which time a compositi
on was made between Thomas Thetford,
Abbot of Bermondsey, & Nicholas Buck
land
, Master of the said Hospitall of
Saint Thomas
, for all the Lands and Te
nements, which were holden of the said
Abbot and Covent in Southwarke, or
elsewhere, for the old rent to bee paid
unto the said Abbot.
There bee the Monuments in this

began the reparations therof, for poore,
impotent, lame, and diseased people,
so that in the Moneth of November
next following
, the sicke and poore
people were taken in. And in the yeere
1553. on the 10. of April
, King Ed

the sixt
in the seventh of his
raigne
, gave to the Maior, Com

belonging to the same, towards the
maintenance of the said workehouse of
Bridewell
, and of this Hospitall of Saint
Thomas in Southwarke
. This gift, the
King confirmed by his Charter, dated
the 26. of June next following, and wil
led it to be called the Kings Hospitall in
Southwarke
.
The Church of this Hospitall, which
of old time served for the Tenements

Over-against this Parish Church,
Prior of Lewis his Inne.
on
the South side the street, was sometime
one great House, builded of Stone, with
arched Gates, which pertained to the
Prior of Lewis in Sussex, and was his
Lodging when hee came to London: It
is now a common Hostery for Travel
lers, and hath to Signe, the Walnut
tree.
Then East from the said Parish
Church of Saint Olave
, is a Key. In the
yeere 1330. by the licence of Simon
Swanlond
, Maior of London, it was buil
ded by Isabell, widow to Hamond Good
cheape
. And next thereunto was then a
great house of stone and timber, belon
ging to the Abbot of S. Augustin, with
out the wals of Canturbury, which was an
ancient piece of work, & seemeth to be
one of the first builded houses on that
side the River, over-against the City:
It was called the Abbots Inne of Saint
Augustine in Southwarke
, and was some
time holden of the Earles of Warren and
Surrey, as appeareth by a deede, made
1281. which I have read, and may bee
Englished thus:
To all to whom this present writing shall
come, Iohn, Earle Warren, sendeth gree
ting. Know ye, that we have altogether re
mised and quite claimed for us and our
heires for ever, to Nicholas, Abbot of
Saint Augustines of Canturbury, and the
Covent of the same, and their successors,
suit to our Court of Southwarke , which
they owe unto us, for all that Messuage and
houses thereon builded, and all their appur
tenances, which they have of our fee in
Southwarke, situate upon the Thames,
betweene the Bridgehouse, and Church of
Saint Olave
. And the said Messuage with
the buildings thereon builded, and all their
appurtenances to them and their successors,
we have granted in perpetuall Almes to
hold of us, and our heires for the same: sa
ving the service due to any other persons, if
any such be, then to us. And for this remit
and grant, the said Abbot and Covent have
given unto us five shillings of rent yeerely
in Southwarke, and have received us
and our heires in all Benefices, which shall
be in their Church for ever.
This sute of Court one William Cras
peis
was bound to doe to the said Earle,
for the said Messuage: and heretofore
to acquit in all things, the Church of
Saint Augustine, against the said
Earle.
This house of late time belonged to
Sir Anthony Sentleger, then to Warham
Sentleger
, &c. And now is called Sent
leger house
, but divided into sundry
Tenements.
Next is the Bridgehouse, so called, as
being a store-house, for Stone, Timber,
or


or whatsouer pertaining to the buil
ding or repairing of London bridge.
This house seemeth to have taken
beginning, with the first founding of
the Bridge; either of stone or timber:
it is a large plot of ground on the banke
of the river Thames, containing divers
large buildings, for stowage of things
necessary, towards reparation of the
said Bridge.
There are also divers Garners,
Garners for Come in the Bridge-house.
for
laying up of Wheate, and other Gray
ners for service of the City, as need re
quireth. Moreover, there bee certaine
Ovens builded,
Ovens in the Bridge-house.
in number ten: of which
sixe bee very large, the other foure be
ing but halfe so bigge. These were
purposely made to bake out the bread
corne of the said Grayners, to the best
advantage, for reliefe of the poore Citi
zens, when neede should require. Sir I.
Throstone
, Knight, sometime an Im
broderer, then Goldsmith, one of the
Sheriffes, 1516. gave (by his Testa
ment) towards the making of these
Ovens two hundred pounds, which
thing was performed by his Executors:
Sir Iohn Munday, Goldsmith, then be
ing Maior.
A Brew-house buil¦ded in the Bridge-house.
There was of late, for the
enlarging of the said Bridge-house, taken
in an old Brew-house, called Goldings,
which was given to the Citie by George
Monox
, sometime Maior, and in place
thereof, is now a faire brew-house
builded, for service of the Citie with
Beere.
Next,
Abbot of Battaile his Inne.
was the Abbot of Battailes
Inne
, betwixt the Bridge-house and Bat
taile bridge
, likewise on the banke of the
river of Thames; the walkes and gar
dens thereunto appertaining, on the o
ther side of the way, before the gate of
the said house, was called the Maze:
there is now an Inne, called the Flower
de luce
, for that the signe is three Flower
de luces
. Much other buildings of smal
tenements are thereon builded reple
nished with strangers and other, for the
most part poore people.
Then is Battaile bridge, so called of
Battaile Abbey, for that it standeth on
the ground, and over a water-course
(flowing out of Thames) pertaining to
that Abbey, & was therfore both buil
ded and repaired by the Abbots of that
house as being hard adjoyning to the
Abbots lodging.
Beyond this Bridge is Bermondsey
streete
, turning South, in the South end
whereof was sometime a Priory or Ab
bey, of S. Sauioyr, called Bermonds eye
in Southwarke
, founded by Ailewin
Childe
, a Citizen of London, in the yeere
1081.
Peter, Richard, Obstert, and Vmbalde,
Monkes de Charitate, came to Bermond
sey
, the yeere 1089. and Peter was
made first Prior there, by appointment
of the Prior of the house, called Charitie
in France: by which meanes this Priory
of Bermondsey
(being a Cell to that
in France) was accounted a Priory of A
liens
.
In the yeere 1094. deceased Ailewin
Childe
, founder of this house. Then Wil
liam Rufus
gave to the Monks, his Man
nor of Bermondsey
, with the appurtenan
ces, and builded for them there a new
great Church.
Robert Blewit, Bishop of Lincolne
(King Williams Chancelor) gave them
the Mannor of Charleton, with the ap
purtenances. Also Geffrey Martell, by
the grant of Geffrey Magnaville, gave
them the Land of Halingbury, and the
tithe of Alferton, &c.
More in the yeere Thomas of Arderne
1122. and Thomas his Son, gave to the
Monkes of Bermonds Eye, the Church
of Saint George in Southwarke
.
In the yeere 1165. King Henry the
second
confirmed to them the Hide or
territorie of Southwarke
,
Hide of Southwark to the Monkes of Ber
mondsey
.
and Laygham,
Waddam
, with the land of Coleman, &c.
In the yeere one thousand, three hun
dred, seventy one
, the Priories of A
liens
(throughout England) being seized
into the Kings hands, Richard Denten
an Englishman, was made Prior of
Bermondsey: to whom was committed
the custody of the said Priory, by the
letters patents of King Edward the
third
, saving to the King the advow
sons of Churches.
In the yeare 1380. the fourth of Ri
chard
the second
, this Priory was made
a Denizen (or free English) for the fine
of 200. Markes, payd to the Kings Ha
naper in the Chancery. In the yeare
1399. Attelborough, Prior of Bermond
sey
, was made the first Abbot of that
house, by Pope Boniface the ninth, at the
suit of King Richard the second.

In the yeere 1539. this Abbey was
valued to dispend by the yeere 474. l.
