¶1603 Description of Ward Boundaries
The following diplomatic transcription of the opening paragraph(s) of the 1603 chapter
on this ward will eventually be subsumed into the MoEML edition of the 1603 Survey.1 Each ward chapter opens with a narrative circumnavigation of the ward—a verbal
beating of the boundsthat MoEML first transcribed in 2004 and later used to facilitate the drawing of approximate ward boundaries on our edition of the Agas map. Source: John Stow, A Survey of London (London, 1603; STC #23343).
