Retrieved from https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/editions/7.0/stow_1633_LANG1.htm. Draft. This semi-diplomatic transcription takes the University of Victoria copy (DA680 S87 1633) of STC 23345 (ESTC S117597) as its control text. Digital surrogates of this copy are available in UVic ContentDM (Collection 25, 993). For convenience, and only because STC 23345 has not yet been transcribed by EEBO-TCP, we began with the XML file of the EEBO-TCP transcription of the post-1640 STC 23345.5/Wing S5773A (TCP A13053), available on GitHub). The names of the EEBO-TCP transcribers are unknown. Paul Schaffner edited the original EEBO-TCP markup in or before 2012. Sebastian Rahtz created the TEI Stylesheets to convert the EEBO-TCP file to TEI-P5 in or before 2012. Martin Holmes downloaded the XML file from the GitHub repository. Joey Takeda and Martin Holmes processed the file programmatically to bring it in line with MoEML’s TEI customization. They added proleptic catchwords (based on the first word on the next page) and converted short s back to long s based on predictable patterns. MoEML Research Assistants at the University of Victoria performed the following additional tasks: transcribed the 1633 text from the UVic copy in those places where the post-1640 text differed; supplied content for the gaps left by the EEBO-TCP transcribers; checked the transcription against digital surrogates of the UVic copy and against the copy itself; corrected the proleptic catchwords where necessary; transcribed the formeworks; added links to digital surrogates; and tagged all people, places, and dates. The text was then checked by Editor Janelle Jenstad. Langbourn Ward

Langbourn Ward is west of Aldgate Ward. According to Stow, the ward is named after a long borne of ſweete water which once broke out of the ground in Fenchurch Street, a street running through the middle of Langbourn Ward (Stow 1603). The long borne of ſweete water no longer existed at the time of Stow’s writing (Stow 1603).

(LANG1.xml) Fenchurch Street

Fenchurch Street (often called Fennieabout) ran east-west from the pump on Aldgate High Street to Gracechurch Street in Langbourne Ward, crossing Mark Lane, Mincing Lane, and Rodd Lane along the way. Fenchurch Street was home to several famous landmarks, including the King’s Head Tavern, where the then-Princess Elizabeth is said to have partaken in pork and peas after her sister, Mary I, released her from the Tower of London in May of 1554 (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 288). Fenchurch Street was on the royal processional route through the city, toured by monarchs on the day before their coronations.

(FENC1.xml) Lombard Street

Lombard Street was known by early modern Londoners as a place of commerce and trade. Running east to west from Gracechurch Street to Poultry, Lombard Street bordered Langbourn Ward, Walbrook Ward, Bridge Within Ward, and Candlewick Street Ward.

(LOMB1.xml) St. Mary Woolnoth Information is not yet available. (STMA38.xml) Sherborne Lane Information is not yet available. (SHER1.xml) The Thames Information is not yet available. (THAM2.xml) Aldgate Ward

Aldgate Ward is located within the London Wall and east of Lime Street Ward. Both the ward and its main street, Aldgate Street, are named after Aldgate, the eastern gate into the walled city (Stow 1633, sig. N6v).

(ALDG2.xml) Ironmongers’ Hall Information is not yet available. (IRON2.xml) Culver Alley Information is not yet available. (CULV1.xml) Lime Street

Lime Street is a street that ran north-south from Leadenhall Street in the north to Fenchurch Street in the south. It was west of St. Andrew Undershaft and east of Leadenhall. It appears that the street was so named because people made or sold Lime there (Stow). This claim has some historical merit; in the 1150s one Ailnoth the limeburner lived in the area (Harben; BHO).

(LIME2.xml) Lime Street Ward

Lime Street Ward is west of Aldgate Ward. The ward is named after its principle street, Lime Street, which takes its name from the making or ſelling of Lime there, according to Stow (Stow 1603).

(LIME1.xml) Guildhall Information is not yet available. (GUIL1.xml) Gracechurch Street

Gracechurch Street ran north-south from Cornhill Street near Leadenhall Market to the bridge. At the southern end, it was called New Fish Street. North of Cornhill, Gracechurch continued as Bishopsgate Street, leading through Bishop’s Gate out of the walled city into the suburb of Shoreditch.

(GRAC1.xml) St. Gabriel Fenchurch

The church is visible on the Agas map along Fenchurch Street. Before the sixteenth century, St. Gabriel Fenchurch was known as St. Mary Fenchurch. After being burnt in the Fire, it was not rebuilt (Carlin and Belcher).

(STGA1.xml) Cornhill

Cornhill was a significant thoroughfare and was part of the cityʼs main major east-west thoroughfare that divided the northern half of London from the southern half. The part of this thoroughfare named Cornhill extended from St. Andrew Undershaft to the three-way intersection of Threadneedle, Poultry, and Cornhill where the Royal Exchange was built. The name Cornhill preserves a memory both of the cornmarket that took place in this street, and of the topography of the site upon which the Roman city of Londinium was built.

Note: Cornhill and Cornhill Ward are nearly synonymous in terms of location and nomenclature - thus, it can be a challenge to tell one from the other. Topographical decisions have been made to the best of our knowledge and ability.

(CORN2.xml) Royal Exchange

Located in Broad Street Ward and Cornhill Ward, the Royal Exchange was opened in 1570 to make business more convenient for merchants and tradesmen (Harben 512). The construction of the Royal Exchange was largely funded by Sir Thomas Gresham (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 718).

(ROYA1.xml) Cornhill Ward

Cornhill Ward is west of Bishopsgate Ward and south of Broad Street Ward. According to Stow, the ward and its principle street, Cornhill, are named after a corne Market once held there.

Note: Cornhill and Cornhill Ward are nearly synonymous in terms of location and nomenclature—thus, it can be a challenge to tell one from the other. Topographical decisions have been made to the best of our knowledge and ability.

(CORN1.xml) Pewterers’ Hall Information is not yet available. (PEWT1.xml) St. Dionis Backchurch

St. Dionis Backchurch was located on the southwest side of Lime Street on the border between Langbourn Ward and Billingsgate Ward (Stow 1633, sig. V1r-V1v). The church is dedicated to the patron saint of France, St. Denys or Dionysius, which, as Harben notes, is the only church in the City with this dedication, and suggests the French influence which prevailed in England during the 11th and 12th centuries (Harben). The church was built in the reign of Henry VI and rebuilt following its destruction in the Great Fire (Harben).

(STDI1.xml) London

The city of London, not to be confused with the allegorical character (London).

(LOND5.xml) New Fish Street

New Fish Street (also known in the seventeenth century as Bridge Street) ran north-south from London Bridge at the south to the intersection of Eastcheap, Gracechurch Street, and Little Eastcheap in the north (Harben 432; BHO). At the time, it was the main thoroughfare to London Bridge (Sugden 191). It ran on the boundary between Bridge Within Ward on the west and Billingsgate Ward on the east. It is labelled on the Agas map as New Fyſhe ſtreate. Variant spellings include Street of London Bridge, Brigestret, Brugestret, and Newfishstrete (Harben 432; BHO).

(NEWF1.xml) All Hallows (Lombard Street) Information is not yet available. (ALLH4.xml) Gracechurch Market Information is not yet available. (GRAC3.xml) St. John’s of Jerusalem

St. John’s of Jerusalem provided housing and care for pilgrims and crusading knights. It was held by the Knights Hospitallers and dissolved in the reign of Henry VIII (Stow 1598, sig. 2D7r).

(STJO3.xml) Smithfield

Smithfield was an open, grassy area located outside the Wall. Because of its location close to the city centre, Smithfield was used as a site for markets, tournaments, and public executions. From 1123 to 1855, the Bartholomew’s Fair took place at Smithfield (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 842).

Birchin Lane was a short street running north-south between Cornhill Street and Lombard Street. The north end of Birchin Lane lay in Cornhill Ward, and the south end in Langbourne Ward.

(BIRC1.xml) Whittington College

(WHIT21.xml) St. Clements Lane Information is not yet available. (STCL1.xml) Thames Street

Thames Street was the longest street in early modern London, running east-west from the ditch around the Tower of London in the east to St. Andrew’s Hill and Puddle Wharf in the west, almost the complete span of the city within the walls.

(THAM1.xml) Parish of St. Mary Somerset Information is not yet available. (STMA135.xml) Mark Lane

Mark Lane ran north-south from Fenchurch Street to Tower Street. It was for the most parte of this Towerstreet warde (Stow). The north end of the street, from Fenchurch Street to Hart Street was divided between Aldgate Ward and Landbourn Ward. Stow says Mark Lane was so called of a Priuiledge sometime enjoyed to keepe a mart there, long since discontinued, and therefore forgotten, so as nothing remaineth for memorie (Stow). Modern scholars have suggested that it was instead named after the mart, where oxen were fattened for slaughter (Harben).

(MARK1.xml) Mincing Lane

Mincing Lane ran north-south from Fenchurch Street to Tower Street. All of the street was part of Tower Street Ward except the corner house[s] towardes Fenchurch streete, which were in Langbourn Ward (Stow). Stow notes that the street was named after tenements there sometime pertayning to the Minchuns or Nunnes of Saint Helens in Bishopsgate streete (Stow). Stow also makes a definitive link between the lane and London’s commercial history.

(MINC1.xml) Rodd Lane Information is not yet available. (RODD1.xml) St. Margaret Pattens Information is not yet available. (STMA17.xml) Philip Lane Information is not yet available. (PHIL1.xml) St. Clement, Eastcheap Information is not yet available. (STCL3.xml) Nicholas Lane

Nicholas Lane, or, as Stow called it, St. Nicholas Lane, ran north-south from Lombard Street to Candlewick Street. It was probably named for St. Nicholas Acon, which stood on the lane. Nicholas Lane still survives in modern London, although it is now interrupted by King William Street.

(STNI1.xml) St. Nicholas Acon

St. Nicholas Acon was located in Langbourn Ward, its parish extending into Candlewick Street Ward (Harben 437). While it was not depicted on the Agas map, Prockter and Taylor note that St. Nicholas Acon stood on the west side of St. Nicholas Lane towards the northern end (Prockter and Taylor 51). According to Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay, Acons is possibly derived from Haakon, the name of one of the benefactors (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 802).

(STNI4.xml) Abchurch Lane

Abchurch Lane runs north-south from Lombard Street to Candlewick Street. The Agas Map labels it Abchurche lane. It lies mainly in Candlewick Street Ward, but part of it serves as the boundary between Langbourne Ward and Candlewick Street Ward.

(ABCH1.xml) Bearbinder Lane Information is not yet available. (BEAR2.xml) Stocks Market

The Stocks Market was a significant market for fish and flesh in early modern London, located south of Poultry, north of Bucklersbury, and west of Walbrook Street in Cornhill Ward (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). The building of the Stocks Market was commissioned by Henry le Wales in 1283 and, according to the editors of The London Encyclopedia, is named after the the only fixed pair of stocks in the city (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). It was destroyed in the Great Fire, rebuilt, and then replaced in 1739 by the Mansion House, which is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London.

(LLLL1.xml) Cardinal’s Hat Tavern

Cardinal’s Hat Tavern was a tavern that likely sat at the meeting of Cornhill and Lombard Street. Stow mentions the Cardinal’s Hat Tavern only in passing, using the site as a reference for a path between the two streets.

(CARD2.xml) The reign of Edward II The reign of Henry VI

The Julian calendar, in use in the British Empire until September 1752. This calendar is used for dates where the date of the beginning of the year is ambigious.

The Julian calendar with the calendar year regularized to beginning on 1 January.

The Julian calendar with the calendar year beginning on 25 March. This was the calendar used in the British Empire until September 1752.

The Gregorian calendar, used in the British Empire from September 1752. Sometimes referred to as New Style (NS). Years run from January 1 through December 31.

The Anno Mundi (year of the world) calendar is based on the supposed date of the creation of the world, which is calculated from Biblical sources. At least two different creation dates are in common use. See Anno Mundi (Wikipedia).

Regnal dates are given as the number of years into the reign of a particular monarch. Our practice is to tag such dates with @calendar="regnal", and provide an equivalent date using a more systematic calendar (usually Julian) in a custom dating attribute.

Most MoEML documents, or significant fragments with @xml:id attributes, can be addressed using the mol: prefix and accessed through the web application with their id + .xml.

The molagas prefix points to the shape representation of a location on MoEML’s OpenLayers3-based rendering of the Agas Map.

Links to page-images in the Chadwyck-Healey Early English Books Online (EEBO) repository. Note that this is a subscription service, and may not be accessible to those accessing it from locations outside member institutions.

Links to page-images in the English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA).

The mdt (MoEML Document Type) prefix used on <catRef>/@target points to a central taxonomy in the includes file.

The mdtlist (MoEML Document Type listing) prefix used in linking attributes points to a listings page constructed from a category in the central MDT taxonomy in the includes file. There are two variants, one with the plain @xml:id of the category, meaning all documents in the specified category, and one with the suffix _subcategories, meaning all subcategories of the category.

The molgls (MoEML gloss) prefix used on <term>/@corresp points to a a glossary entry in the GLOSS1.xml file.

This molvariant prefix is used on <ref>/@target attributes during automated generation of gazetteer index files. It points to an element in the generated variant spellings listing file which lists all documents which contain a particular spelling variant for a location.

This molajax prefix is used on <ref>/@target attributes during the static build process, to specify links which point to MoEML resources which should not be loaded into the source page during standalone processing; instead, these should be turned into links to the XML source documents, and at HTML page load time, these should be turned into AJAX calls. This is to handle the scenario in which a page such as an A-Z index of the whole site would end up containing virtually the whole site inside itself.

The molstow prefix is used on @facs attributes to link to the HCMC verison of the Stow facsimiles. Usually the first group is the year (1633) and then last is the image number (0001).

The molshows prefix is used on @facs attributes to link to the copies of page-images from mayoral shows stored in the london account on the HCMC server. The first group is the year (1633), the second is the source repository, and then last is the image file name.

The sb prefix is used on <ref>/@target attributes to link to Stow’s Books URLs at UToronto.

 Author A person or organization chiefly responsible for the intellectual or artistic content of a work, usually printed text. This term may also be used when more than one person or body bears such responsibility. MoEML uses the term author to designate a contributor who is wholly or partly responsible for the original content of either a born-digital document, such as an encyclopedia entry, or a primary source document, such as a MoEML Library text. Editor A person or organization who prepares for publication a work not primarily their own, such as by elucidating text, adding introductory or other critical matter, or technically directing an editorial staff. MoEML uses the term editor to designate a person who creates a modern edition of a work based on one of our encoded diplomatic transcriptions of a primary source. We use the term commentator to designate a person who adds editorial or explanatory notes to one of our diplomatic transcriptions. Markup editor A person or organization performing the coding of SGML, HTML, or XML markup of metadata, text, etc. MoEML uses the code mrk both for the primary encoder(s) and for the person who edits the encoding. MoEML’s normal workflow includes a step whereby encoders check each other’s work. We use the term encoder to designate the principal encoder, and markup editor to designate the person who checks the encoding. Publisher A person or organization responsible for publishing, releasing, or issuing a resource. MoEML uses the term publisher in two ways: to indicate the publisher of an early modern book (the publisher might also be the bookseller), and to indicate the publisher of a book, journal, or digital project. Project director A person or organization with primary responsibility for all essential aspects of a project, or that manages a very large project that demands senior level responsibility, or that has overall responsibility for managing projects, or provides overall direction to a project manager. MoEML’s Project Director directs the intellectual and scholarly aspects of the project, consults with the Advisory and Editorial Boards, and ensures the ongoing funding of the project. Programmer A person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. MoEML uses the term programmer to designate a person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. Printer A person or organization who prints texts, whether from type or plates. MoEML uses the term printer to designate the person named as the printer on the title page of a primary source text, or the person identified by scholars as the printer (e.g., in the English Short Title Catalogue database). In early modern printing practice, the roles of printer, bookseller, and publisher might coincide in one person, or be performed by different people. CSS editor MoEML uses the term CSS Editor for a person who adds CSS styling to the transcription of a primary source. We use CSS styling to describe the bibliographic features of the texts we transcribe. For further information, see our page on CSS styling. Added standardized renditions to tagsDecl. Converted all marginal <note> elements to <label> elements. Added @xml:ids to <pb> elements using utilities/add_sig_ids_to_shows.xsl. Added @xml:ids to div elements that have a child head element. Worked on entity tagging. Copied new sourceDesc into the teiHeader. Deleted legacy code from EEBO-TCP, including details of title from STC 23345.5, the biblFull element, and the projectDesc element. Updated respStmt elements. Deleted duplicate catRef. Created section file from stow_1633 document. Fixing erroneously spaced <lb> in file and add explicit <lb> elements (instead of just new line characters) throughout the file using XSLT. Added project publication statement link.
Langborne Ward. LANGBOVRNE VVARD, And Fenny about.

LAngbourne Ward, so called, of a long Boorn of sweet water, which (of old time) breaking out into Fenne-Church-street, ranne downe the same street, and Lombard street, to the West end of S. Mary Woolnoths Church, where turning South, and breaking into small shares, rils or streams, it left the name of Shareborne lane, or Southborne lane, (as I have read) because it ranne South to the River of Thames. This Ward beginneth at the West end of Ealdgate Ward, in Fen-Church street, by the Ironmongers Hall, which is on the North side of that street, at a place called Culver Alley, where sometime was a lane, through the which men went into Limestreet; but that being long since stopped up, for suspition of Theeves that lurked there by night, as is shewed in Limestreet Ward; there is now in this said Alley a Tennis Court, &c.

Fenne-Church street tooke that name of a Fenny or Moorish ground, so made by meanes of this Boorne, which passed thorow it; and therefore (untill this day) in the Guild-hall of this Citie, that Ward is called by the name of Langborne, and Fenny about, and not otherwise: yet others be of opinion, that it tooke that name of Foenum, that is, Hay, sold there, as Grasse-street-tooke the name of Grasse or Herbes there sold.

In the midst of this street standeth a small Parish Church, called S. Gabriel Fenne-Church, corruptly, Fan-Church.

Helming Legget, Esquire, by licence of Edward the third, in the 49. of his reigne, gave one Tenement, with a curtelarge thereto belonging, and a garden with an entry thereto leading, unto Sir Iohn Hariot, Parson of Fen-Church, and to his successors for ever; the house to be a Parsonage house; the Garden to be a Church-yard, or burying place for the Parish.

Then have ye Lombard street, so called of the Longobards, and other Merchants, strangers of divers Nations, assembling there twise every day, of what originall, or continuance, I have not read of record, more than that Edward the second, in the twelfth of his reigne, confirmed a Messuage sometime belonging to Robert Turke, abutting on Lombard street toward the South, and toward Cornehill on the North, for the Merchants of Florence: which proveth that street to have had the name of Lombard street before the reigne of Edward the second. The meeting of which Merchants and others there, continued untill the 22. of December, in the yeere 1568. on the which day, the said Merchants began to make their meetings at the Burse, a place then new builded for that purpose, in the ward of Cornehill, and was since by Her Majestie, Queene Elizabeth, named the Royall Exchange.

On the North side of this Ward, is Limestreet, one halfe whereof (on both sides) is of this Langborne VVard, and therein on the west side, is the Pewterers Hall, which Company were admitted to be a Brotherhood, in the 13. of Edward the fourth.

At the South-west corner of Limestreet, standeth a faire Parish Church Vof Langborne Ward. of S. Dionis called Backe-Church, lately new builded in the reigne of Henry the sixth. Iohn Bugge, Esquire, was a great Benefactor to that worke, as appeareth by his Armes, three water-Budgets, and his Crest, a Morions head, graven in the stone-worke of the Quire, at the upper end, on the North side, where he was buried.

Also Iohn Darby, Alderman, added thereunto a faire Ile or Chappell on the South side, and was there buried, about the yeere 1466. He gave (besides sundry ornaments) his dwelling house and others unto the said Church.

The Lady wich, widdow to Hugh Wich, sometimes Maior of London, was there buried, and gave Lands for Sermons, &c.

Iohn Master, Gent. was by his children buried there, 1444.

Thomas Britaine. Henry Travers of Maidstone in Kent, Merchant, 1501.

Iohn Bond, about 1504.

Robert Paget, Merchant-Taylor, one of the Sheriffes 1536.

Sir Tho. Curteis, Pewterer, then Fishmonger, Maior 1557.

Sir Iames Harvie, Ironmonger, Maior, 1581.

William Peterson, Esquire. William Sherington. Sir Edward Osborne, Cloth-worker, Maior, &c.

Thomas Curticius sub Marmore conditus iste, Quem mundo eripuit Parca severa senem: Quemque suum Cives voluere augere Senatum, Iustitia & gravitas hunc meruere gradum. Purpuriens sic Praeturam gessit in urbe, Ferret ut hoc multum laudis ab officio. Animus huic Consul Sceptroque insignis & ense, Londinium vexit dexteritate bona. Thomam progenuit solumque moestis humanis, Vita adeo fragili sorte fugaxque datur. Vnica neptis avo, est Anna haeres, filia Thomae, Dignaque neptus avo, dignaque nata patre. Stuclea haec nupsit Generoso stemmata certo, Fraeclaroque domi Militiaeque viro. Fumus & umbra sumus, quicquid mortale peribat, Sola manet pietas, quae sine fine viret.

Neere unto it is a very goodly Monument, belonging to Sir Iames Harvey, but without any inscription or Epitaph.

This

Langborne Ward. This Monument was erected for the Worshipfull M. John Hewet, Gent. Citizen and Merchant of London, and free of the Clothworkers Company: who in his life time was loving to all, and pittifull to the poore: witnesse the yeerely pension he hath given for ever, of five pounds to the poore of this Parish. He changed this mortall habitation the third day of Iuly, Anno Domini, 1602.

This Charity, and 12. d. beside, given every Sunday in bread to the poore, is all that there I understand of.

Then by the foure corners (so called of Fen-church street in the East, Bridge-street on the South, Grasse-street on the North, and Lombard street on the west) in Lombard street is one faire Parish Church, called Alhallowes Grasse-church in Lambard street. I doe so reade it in Evidences of Record, for that the Grasse-Market went downe that way, when that street was farre broader than now it is, being straightned by incrochments.

This Church was lately new builded. Iohn Warner, Armorer, and then Grocer, Sheriffe, 1494. builded the South Ile; his sonne Robert Warner, Esquire, finished it, in the yeere 1516. The Pewterers were Benefactors towards the North Ile, &c. The Sleeple or Bel-tower thereof was finished in the yeere 1544. about the thirty and sixth of Henry the eighth. The faire stone Porch of this Church, was brought from the late dissolved Priory of S. Iohn of Ierusalem by Smithfield, so was the frame of their Bels; but the Bels being bought, were never brought thither, by reason that one old Warner Draper of that Parish deceasing, his son Mark Warner would not performe what his Father had begunne and appointed; so that faire Steeple hath but one Bell, as Friers were wont to use.

Quatuor liberis superstitibus, Christophero & Joanne, Iana, (Roberto Darello de Calehill, Militi enupta) & Elizabetha.

Here under this stone resteth (in assured hope of a joyfull resurrection) the body of Rebecca Crispe, Daughter to Iohn Pake of Bromefield in Essex, Gent. and late wife to Nicholas Crispe of Lond. Merchant. She departed this life the 27. day of April, An. Dom. 1616. and in the 37. of her age: Giving to the world (both in her life and death) undoubted testimony of her faith in Christ Iesus: Having had issue 3. sonnes, and 8. daughters.

Here lyeth buried the body of Simō Horsepoole, free of the Drapers Company: also free of the ancient Wooll-staple; free of the Merchants Adventurers of the old Haunce and Moscovia. He was chosen sheriffe of London, in An. 1591. He married Elizabeth Smith, daughter to Iohn Smith of Cosham, in the County of Wiltshire, Gent. and sister to Thomas Smith, Customer of London. And by her he had issue 3. sons and 3. daughters, William, Simon and Thomas, Elizabeth married with Alexander King, one of the Queenes Majesties Auditors. Hawys married with Francis Dorington, Merchant of Tripolie. And Ioan, maried with Iohn Whitbrooke, Gent.

He dwelt in Grasse-Church street in this Parish, 35. yeeres, and he appointed to this Parish of All Saints, foure pounds and foure shillings every yeere for ever: and also foure pounds and foure shillings to the Parish of Saint Christopher by Cornehill, where hee was borne, and where his Father Iohn Horsepoole (also free of the Drapers Company, and borne in Leicestershire) dwelt, and lyeth buried: That every Sunday after Morning Service, there bee given to twelve poore people of this Parish, to every one of them one penny loafe of wheaten bread; and also every Sunday to twelve poore people of Saint Christophers Parish, to every one V2of Langborne Ward. of them one penny loafe of wheaten bread; and every yeere upon Saint Thomas the Apostles day, to every one of the said 24. poore people, twelve pence in money: and every yeere upon the said Saint Thomas his day, to the two Paris-Clerkes of the said Parises, to every of them for their paines, 13. s. 4. d. and to the two Sextons of the said Parishes, to every of them for their paines, 6. s. 8. d.

Hee dyed the 14. day of Ianuary, 1601. Aged 75. yeeres.

Vertue is not dead.

The soule in Heaven, the body here of Izan lies, By her John Edwards good, and by her parents both: She deare to her all three, that living, still she cries, Lay me by them. for other Grave I loath. O God! that heard’st the cry of this thy creature, Make Izans many, in vertue, grace, and feature. As love (in life) eonjoyn’d us once, And God (by death) disjoyn’d us twaine: So love (by death) rejoyn’d our bones, And God (in joy) joyn’d us againe.

Stand here firme (God permitting) ever, a patterne, a spurre to sacred vertue: In memory of a blessed Matrone heere buried: Rich in true piety, vertue, and reverend modesly, from her Cradle to her Cossin: an ornament (of her sexe) for true constancy in both fortunes: the onely mother and beauty of her race, in her time, named Izan Wright by her Father, Edwards by her first husband, both of this Parish, and also here buried. Her shining to the vaine world (to whom Adversity is Vice, and Prosperity is Vertue) was eclipsed by a second marriage, wherein she deceased the fifth day of March, An. Dom. 1613. Aged about 66. yeeres.

Here under this place lyeth buried the body of Thomas Walker, Citizen and Vintner of London, who deceased the 25. day of Ianuary, 1599. Which said Thomas Walker had two wives, Joane and Mary. By Joane he had issue eight children, foure sonnes, and foure daughters. Joane his wife lyeth hereunder buried, who deceased the 29. day of August, 1592. Aetatis suae, 69.

Mans life, betimes tryit who shall, Shall find no time in it to trust: Sometime to climbe, sometime to fall, Till life of man be brought to dust.

Next is a common Osterie for travellours, called the George, of such a Signe, This is said to have pertained to the Earle Ferrers, and was his London lodging in Lombard street: And that to the yeere 1175. a brother of the said Earle, being there privily slaine in the night, was there throwne down into the dirty street, as I have afore shewed in the Chapter of Night-watches.

Next is the Parish Church of S. Edmond the King and Martyr, in Lombard street, by the South corner of Birchover lane.

This Church is also called. S. Edmond Grasse-Church, because the said Grassemarket came downe so low.

The Monuments in this Church, are these:

This Monument declares, that here the corps do lye Of him that ſought in Science ſight to publiſh prudently, (Among the rest of things, the which he put in ure) That ancient practice and profound, that hight Architecture. A knowledge meet for thoſe that buildings doe erect, As by his workes, at large ſet forth, is ſhewne the fulle effect. All for the love he bare to this his native Land: Yet though he dyed, his deeds doe live, and Fame in them doth ſtand. who likes therefore to winne ſuch fame as he hath wonne; Let them take care for Common-weale, as here Iohn Shute hath done: Whoſe ſoule we hope to be in faithfull Abrahams breſt, With Gods elect and choſen flocke, for ever there to reſt. Wiſedome and Science, above each other thing, Are Vertues, from the which all Fame doth ſpring.

John Shute, Painter-ſtainer, dyed the 25. of September, Anno Domini, 1563.

Frõ this Church down Lombard ſtreet,

V3by

Langborne Ward. by Birchovers lane, (the one halfe of which Lane is of this VVard) and so downe, be divers faire houses; namely, one with a faire fore-front towards the street, builded by Sir Martin Bowes, Goldsmith, since Maior of London: And then one other, sometime belonging to William de la Pole, Knight Baronet, and yet the Kings Merchant, in the 14. of Edward the third; and after him, to Michael de la Pole, Earle of Suffolke, in the 24. of Richard the second, and was his Merchants house, and so downe toward the Stockes Market, lacking but some three houses thereof.

The South side of this VVard beginneth in the East, at the chaine to bee drawne thwart Mart lane, up into Fen-Church street, and so west, by the North end of Mincheon lane, to Saint Margaret Pattens street, or Rood lane, and downe that street, to the mid-way towards S. Margarets Church: Then by Philpot lane, (so called of Sir Iohn Philpot that dwelled there, and was owner thereof) and downe that Lane, some six or eight houses on each side, is all of this VVard.

Then by Grasse-Church corner, into Lombard-street, to S. Clements lane, and downe the same to S. Clements Church: then downe Saint Nicholas lane, and downe the same to S. Nicholas Church, and the same Church is of this VVard.

Then to Abchurch lane, and downe some small portion thereof: then downe Sherborne lane, a part thereof, and a part of Beare-binder lane, be of this VVard: and then downe Lombard street to the signe of the Angell, almost to the corner over against the Stockes Market.

On the South side of this VVard, somewhat within Mart lane, have yee the Parish Church of Alhallowes, commonly called Stane-Church, (as may be supposed) for a difference from other Churches of that name in this Citie, which (of old time) were builded of timber, and since were builded of stone. In this Church have beene divers faire Monuments of the dead; namely,

Iohn Costin, Girdler, a great benefactor: he deceased 1244. his name remaineth painted in the Church roofe: if it had beene set in brasse, it would have beene fetched downe. Hee gave out of certaine Tenements to the poore of that Parish, an hundred quarters of Charcoales yeerely for ever.

Sir Iohn Test, Knight of the holy Sepulcher, and Dame Ioan his wife, about 1486.

Robert Stone.

Sir Iohn Stiward, and Dame Alice his wife.

Iohn Bostocke, Esquire.

Christopher Holt.

Sir Richard Tate, Knight, Ambassadour to King Henry the eighth, buried there, 1554. His Monument remaineth yet; the rest beeing all pulled downe, and swept out of the Church, the Church-wardens were forced to make a large account, twelve shillings that yeere for Broomes, beside the carriage away of stone and brasse, at their owne charge.

And here I am to note, that being informed of the Writhsleys to bee buried there, I have since found them and other, to be buried at Saint Giles without Creplegate, where I mind to leave them.

Our Holt (alas) hath stint his hold, by Death cal’d hence in haste, Whose Christen name being Christopher with Christ is better plac’t. In Sawton borne of gentle race, in London spent his dayes, A Clerke that serv’d in Customehouse, in credit many wayes. So that we leese the losse of this so deare a Friend, Whose life well while he was here, hath gain’d a better end.

Iohn Mun, Citizen and Mercer of London, who deceased the third day of Iune, 1615. gave towards the repairing of this Church, 100. l.

Mary Benam, lying here buried, gave 10. l. 4. s. for ever yeerely to this Parish, and the Parish of Saint Olaves in Hartstreet, which is in money truely performed every Sunday, 2. s. in each place to the poore.

By this Church somtime passed a lane called Craddockes lane, from Mart lane, winding by the North side of the said Church into Fenne-church street: the which Lane being straightned by incroachments, is now called Church-Alley.

Langborne Ward. Then is the parish Church of Saint Nicholas Acon, or Hacon (for so have I read it in Records) in Lombard street. Sir Iohn Bridges Draper, Maior, 1520. newly repaired this Church, and imbattled it, and was there buried.

Francis Bowyer, Grocer, one of the Sheriffes, was buried there, 1580. with other of the Bowyers.

So was Iulian, wife to Iohn Lambard, Alderman.

Here resteth in hope of a joyfull resurrection the body of Francis Bowyer, late Alderman of London, who was borne in Chichester, the Sonne of Robert Bowyer of Chichester, and Margaret his wife. He had Brethren, Robert eldest, William, Henry, and Peter: which Sonnes together with their Mother Margaret, doe rest in this Church. He married Elizabeth, daughter to William Tillesworth: with whom hee lived most lovingly and faithfully, the space of 27. yeeres: And by her had seven Sonnes and foure Daughters, of whom remained living at his death foure Sonnes, William, Robert, Francis, and John: And three Daughters, Joane, Margaret, and Elizabeth. Obiit 14. Iunii. An. Dom. 1581.

Then is there (in the high street) a proper Parish Church of Saint Mary Wolnoth, of the Nativity, the reason of which name I have not yet learned. This Church is lately new builded. Sir Hugh Brice, Goldsmith, Maior in the first yeere of Henry the seventh, Keeper of the Kings Exchange at London, and one of the Governours of the Kings Mint in the Tower of London, under William Lord Hastings, the fifth of Edward the fourth deceased, 1496. Hee builded in this Church a Chappell, called the Charnel, as also part of the body of the Church and of the Steeple, and gave money toward the finishing thereof, besides the stone that he had prepared; hee was buried in the body of the Church, and Guy Brice or Boys, was also buried there.

Dame Ioane, Wife to Sir VVilliam Peach.

Thomas Nocket, Draper, 1396: hee founded a Chauntry there.

Simon Eyre, 1459. hee gave the Taverne, called the Cardinals Hat in Lombard street, with a Tenement annexed on the East part of the Taverne, and a mansion behind the East Tenement, together with an Alley from Lombard street to Cornehill with the appurtenances, all which were by him new builded toward a Brotherhood of our Lady in Saint Mary Wolnoths Church.

Iohn Moager, Pewterer, and Emme his wife in S. Iohns Chappell.

George Hasken.

Sir Thomas Ramsey, late Maior, &c.

Sir Iohn Percivall, Knight, sometime Lord Maior of this City, and Dame Thomasine his Wife, worthy Benefactors to this parish, lye both here buried, &c.

The severall wils made by them both in ancient writing, are (to the parishes great commendation) very carefully kept and preserved in this Church, in a goodly enclosure made for the purpose and to bee turned open like folding Tables: I have not seene the like in any other Church.

Moreover I read (concerning this man) that hee was one of the Maior of Londons Officers, and was the Carver at the Maiors Table. And when the Maior (as the custome of London is) doth elect one of the Sheriffes of London for the yeere ensuing, by taking and drinking a cup of Wine to such a man as he pleaseth to name: The Maior at that time (whose name was Sir Henry Collet, Knight, and free of the Mercers) tooke the cup of VVine and dranke to the aforeſaid Langborne Ward. aforesaid Iohn Percival, his Carver, standing bare-headed waiting before him, and called him Sheriffe of Lond. for the yeere ensuing: forthwith the said Maior caused the same Percivall to sit downe at his owne Table, and to cover his head. And the same Percivall tooke upon him the office of Sherivalty, and afterward was Lord Maior of London, and made knight. Register of Maiors.

Here lyeth buried the body of Sir Martin Bowes, Knight, Alderman and Lord Maior of London, and also free of the Goldsmiths Company: with Cicilie, Dame Anne and Dame Elizabeth, his wives. The which Sir Martin Bowes deceased the 4. day of August, An. Dom. 1566.

His will also is there kept in a faire Table.

Here lyeth interred the body of Sir Thomas Ramsey, Knight, a most worthy Citizen, and lately Lord Maior of London, being free of the Grocers Company, with whom (by will) he hath left a perpetuall reliefe for poore yong men, Retaylours of the said Company, which he saw performed in his lifetime. He was a most carefull Magistrate, walked in the feare of God, and loved peace. Hee lived 79. yeeres, and dyed (without issue) in the faith of Iesus Christ, the 19. day of May, Anno Dom. 1590. Whose godly end was a true testimony of his vertuous life.

Here lyeth buried also Dame Alice, the first wife of the said Sir Thomas Ramsey, she being eldest daughter to Bevis Lea of Enfield in the County of Stafford, Gent. Vnto whom hee was married 37. yeeres: and having lived 85. yeeres, she departed this life the 18. day of Ianuary, An. Dom. 1577.

Dame Mary, the second wife to the said Sir Thomas Ramsey, was eldest daughter to William Dale of Bristoll, Merchant, unto whom he was married 12. yeeres. In regard therefore of so worthy a Knight, and his two vertuous Ladies: This Monument is heere placed, by the Executors to the said Sir Thomas Ramsey, the 18. day of November, Anno Dom. 1596.

Thus have yee seven Parish Churches in this Ward; one Hall of a Company; divers faire houses for Merchants; and other Monuments none. It hath an Alderman, his Deputy; Common-Counsellors, 8.

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.

These are all MoEML team members since 1999 to present. To see the current members and structure of our team, see <ref target="team.xml">Team</ref>.
