West from this Church haue ye Skalding Alley, of olde time,
called Skalding house, or Skalding Wike, because that ground
for the most part was then imployed by Poulters, that dwelled
in the high streete, from the Stockes market to the great Con
duit. Their Poultrie which they sold at their stalles were skal
ded there, the streete doth yet beare the name of the Poultrie, and
the Poulters are but lately departed from thence into other streets
as into Grasse streete, and to the endes of S. Nicholas flesh
shambles. This Skalding Wike is the farthest west part of
Brodestreete ward, and is by the water called Walbrooke, par
ted from Cheape warde: this Brodestreete warde hath an Al
derman with his Deputie, common Counsellors ten, Constables
ten, Scauengers eight, Wardmote inquest thirteene, and a Bea
dle. It is taxed to the fifteene, in London, at seauen and twentie
pound, and accounted in the Exchequer after twentie fiue pound.

  2. I.e., Sir John Paulet. (KL)↑
  3. Letter unclear; context obvious. (KL)↑
  4. I.e., Gresham House. (JZ)↑
  5. Stow likely means Humphrey de Bohun. There were a number of Humphrey de Bohun’s who were the Earl of Hereford and Essex. Since Stow does not provide a death date here for Sir Humfrey Bohum, it is difficult to know to whom he is referring in this instance without further context. (KL)↑
  6. Stow likely means Aubrey de Vere. There were a number of Aubrey de Vere’s who were the Earl of Oxford. Since Stow does not provide a death date here for Lord Vere, it is difficult to know to whom he is referring in this instance without further context. (JZ)↑
