CASTLE
BAYNARD
VVard.
THen next is Castle
Baynard Ward,
Castle Bay
nard Ward
so
named of an old
Castle there. This
Ward beginneth in
the East, on the
Thames side, at an
House called Huntington House, and run
neth West by Pauls Wharfe, by Baynards
Castle, Puddle Wharfe, and by the South
side of Blacke Friers. Then turning by
the East wall of the said Friers, to the
South-west end of Creed lane. Then on
the North side of Thames street, over a
gainst Huntington House, by Saint Peters
Church and lane, called Peter Hill, a
long till over against Puddle Wharfe;
and then North up by the great Ward
robe, to the West end of Carter lane.
Then up Creed lane, Ave Mary lane, and
a piece of Pater noster Row, to the signe
of the Golden Lion, and backe againe up
Warwicke lane, all the East side thereof,
to the signe of the Crowne by Newgate
Market: and this is the farthest North
part of this Ward.
Then out of Thames street bee Lanes
ascending North to Knight-riders street:
The first is Peter Hill Lane, all of that
Ward, (two houses excepted, adjoy
ning to S. Peters Church.) The next
is Pauls Wharfe Hill, which thwarting
Knight-riders street and Carter lane, goeth
up to the South Chain of Pauls Church-
yard.
Then is Adle street,
Adle street.
over against the
West part of Baynards Castle, going up
by the West end of Knight-riders street,
and to Carter lane.
Thus much for Lanes out of Thames
street. The one halfe of the West side
of Lambard Hill lane being of this ward,
at the North-west end thereof, on the
South side, and at the West end of S.
Mary Magdalens Church: on the North
side, beginneth Knight-riders street to be
of this Ward, and runneth West, on
both sides, to the Parish Church of S.
Andrew by the Wardrobe.
Then at the said East end of Saint
Mary Magdalens Church, goeth up the
Old Exchange, all the West side where
of, up to the South-east gate of Pauls
Churchyard, and by S. Austens Church,
is of this Ward.
About the midst of this Old Exchange,
on the West side thereof, is Carter lane,
which runneth West, to the East entry
of the Black Friers, and the South end of
Creed lane; out of the which Carter lane
descendeth a Lane,
Do little lane.
called Do little lane,
and commeth into Knight-riders street,
by the Bores-bead Taverne: and more
West is Sermon lane, by an Inne called
the Powle-head. Then out of Carter
lane, on the North side thereof, the
South Chaine of Pauls Church-yard,
and the Church-yard it selfe, on that
South side of Pauls Church, and the
Church of Saint Gregorie, the Bishops
Palace, and the Deanes lodging, bee all
of this VVard: and such be the bounds
thereof.
The Ornaments in this VVard, be,
Parish Churches, foure; of old time, a
Castle; divers Noble-mens houses;
Halls of Companies, twaine; and such
others, as shall be shewed.
In Thames streete, at the South-east
end, is an ancient Messuage, of old time

a large landing-place,

River of Thames, at the end of a Street

sometimes belonging to the
Scroopes, in the 31. of Henry the sixth.
Then is one other great Messuage,
sometime belonging to the Abbey of
Fiscampe, beyond the Sea: and by rea
son of the Warres, it comming to the
hands of King Edward the third, the
same was given to Sir Simon Burley,
Knight of the Garter, and therefore
called Burley house in Thames street,

Then have you Baynards Castle,

wher
of this whole Ward taketh name. This
Castle banketh on the River Thames, and
was called Baynards Castle, of Baynard, a
Nobleman, that came in with William
the Conquerour: Of the which Castle,
and of Baynard himselfe, I have spoken
in another place.
There was also another Tower by
Baynards Castle, builded by King Edward
the second, Edward the third, in the
second of his reigne, gave it to William
Duke of Hamelake, in the County of
Yorke, and his heires, for one Rose yeere
ly to be paid for all service. The same
Place (as seemeth to me) was since cal
led Legates Inne,

in the seventh of Ed
ward the fourth, where bee now divers
VVood-wharfes in place.
Then is there a great Brew-house,
and Puddle Wharfe,
Puddle Wharfe.
a VVater-gate into
the Thames, where Horses use to be wa
tered, and therefore being filled with
their trampling, and made puddle-like,
as also of one Puddle dwelling there, it
is called Puddle Wharfe.
Then is there a Lane betweene the
Blacke Friers and the Thames, called in
the 26. of Edward the 3. Castle lane.
In this Lane also, is one great Mes
suage, of old time belonging to the Pri
orie of Okeborne in Wiltshire,
Prior of Okebornes house.
and was the
Priors lodging when hee repaired to
London. This Prior being of the French
Order, was suppressed by Henry the 5.
and with other Lands and Tenements
pertaining to the said Priorie, was by
Henry the 6. given to his Colledge in
Cambridge, called now the Kings Colledge.
About this Castle Lane was sometime
a Mill or Mils,
A Mill or Mils by Baynards Castle.
belonging to the Tem
plers of the New Temple, as appeareth
of Record: for King Iohn, in the first
yeere of his reigne, granted a place in
the Fleet, neere unto Baynards Castle, to
make a Mill, and the whole course of
water of the Fleet, to serve the said Mill.
I read also, that in the yeere 1274.
the second of Edward the first, Rich. Rai
son and Atheline his wife, did give to
Nicho. de Musely, Clerke, ten shillings
of yeerely free and quiet rent, out of all
his tenements, with the houses there
upon built, and their appurtenances,
which they had of the demise of the
Master and Brethren of Knights Tem
plars in England, next unto their Mill of
Fleet, over against the houses of Lau
rence de Brooke, in the Parish of Saint
Andrew, next to Baynards Castle: which
tenements lye betweene the way lea
ding to the said Mill on the VVest part.
Also in the Rights belonging to Robert
Fitzwater,
Soke, Court or Ward be
longing to Robert Fitzwater.
and to his heires, in the Ci
tie of London, in the time of peace, it
was declared in the yeere 1303. that
the said Robert, Castillon of London, and
Banner-bearer, had a Soke (or VVard)
in the Citie, that was by the wall of S.
Paul, as men goe downe the street be
fore the Brewhouse of S. Paul, unto the
Thames, and so to the side of the Mill,
which is in the water that commeth
downe from Fleet bridge, and goeth by
London walls, betwixt the Friers Prea
chers Church and Ludgate; and so that
Ward turned backe by the House of the
said Friers, unto the said common wall
of the said Chanonrie of S. Paul: that
is all of the Parish of S. Andrew; which
is the gift of his Ancestors by Seniority,
as more I have shewed in the Castles.
Now here is to bee noted, that the
VVall of London, at that time, went
straight South from Ludgate, downe
to the River of Thames: But for buil
ding of the Blacke Friers Church, the
said VVall in that place was by com
mandement taken downe, and a new
VVall made, straight VVest from Lud
gate to Fleet bridge, and then by the

&c.
In the yeere 1307. the 35. of Edward
the first, in a Parliament at Carlile, Hen
ry Lacie, Earle of Lincolne, complained
of annoyances done to the water of the
Fleet;
Mill by Baynards Castle de
stroyed.
whereupon it was granted, that
the said Mill should bee removed and
destroyed.
This Ward ascendeth up by the East
wall of the Blacke Friers, to the South
west end of Creed lane, where it endeth
on that side.
Then to begin againe on the North
side of Thames street, over against Hun

On the West side of this Church,

Stone, for receit of Thames water, con

By the East end of Saint Mary Mag

lane, to the South-east gate or Chaine
of Pauls Church-yard, as is before shew

kept, and Bullion was received for coy

within.
In this Parish Church of Saint Mary

one of them called Do little Lane,

it by that name recorded in the foure

Shops adjoyning.
It may therefore bee well supposed,
that lane to take name of Sheremoniers,
such as cut and rounded the Plates, to
bee coyned or stamped into Estarling
pence, for the place of Coyning was
the Old Exchange, neere unto the said
Sheremoniers lane. Also I finde, that in
the thirteenth of Richard the second,
VVilliam de la Pole had an House
there.
In Knight-riders street is the Colledge
of Physicians,
Colledge of Physi

the yeere 1582. a publike Lecture in

these Gates
were blowne open, the Barres, Bolts,

Also, on the fifth of Ianuary, in the
yeere 1589. by a like tempest of Wind,
then in the South-west, the lesser West
Gate of the said Church, next to the
Bishops Palace, was broken, both Bolts,
Barres, and Lockes, so that the same
was blowne over.
At either corner of this West end, is
also of ancient building, a strong Tower
of stone, made for Bell-Towers: the
one of them, to wit, next to the Palace is

being taken and examined, was found
to hold certain Opinions erroneous, and
