ER - Castle Baynard Ward is west of Queenhithe Ward and Bread Street Ward. The ward is named after Baynard’s Castle, one of its main ornaments.
Previously called the New Inn or Beaumontes Inn, this house once belonged to the Earls of Huntington. The Huntington house marks the eastern corner of Castle Baynard Ward.
According to Schofield, Paul’s Wharf is one of the oldest wharfs on the Thames (Schofield 181). Located in both Castle Baynard Ward and Queenhithe Ward, Paul’s Wharf was situated near St. Paul’s Cathedral and St. Benet. Since Paul’s Wharf was only blocks away from St. Paul’s Cathedral, the clergy used the wharf as a point of travel.
Located on the banks of the Thames, Baynard’s Castle was built sometime
in the by
(Weinreb and Hibbert 129). The castle passed to
who by forfeyture for
fellonie, lost his Baronie of little Dunmow
(Stow 1:61). From the time it was built, Baynard’s Castle was the headquarters of London’s
army until the reign of
when it was handed over to the Dominican Friars,
the Blackfriars whose name is still commemorated along that part of the
waterfront
(Hibbert 10).
Puddle Wharf was a water gate along the north bank
of the Thames (Stow). Also known as Puddle Dock, it was located in Castle Baynard Ward, down from St. Andrew’s Hill. Puddle Wharf was built in
The largest and wealthiest friary in England, Blackfriars was not only a
religious institution but also a cultural, intellectual, and political centre of London. The friary housed
London’s Dominican friars (known in England as the Black friars) after their move from
the smaller Blackfriars precincts in Holborn. The Dominicans’ aquisition of the site,
overseen by
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.
The King’s Wardrobe, built in the fourteenth century between St. Andrew’s Hill and Addle Hill near Blackfriars Precinct, was originally a repository for royal clothing, but later housed offices of the royal household and became a key seat of government (Sugden 557). In this houſe of late yeares, is lodged Sir
rer of the Exchequer, and one of her Maieſties Priuy
Councel. The ſecret letters & writings touching the eſtate of the realme, were
wont to be introlled in the kings Wardrobe, and not
in the Chauncery, as appeareth by the Records.
Carter Lane ran east-west between Creed Lane in the west, past Paul’s Chain, to Old Change in the East. It ran parallel to St. Paul’s Churchyard in the north and Knightrider Street in the south. It lay within Castle Baynard Ward and Farringdon Ward Within. It is labelled as Carter lane

The Golden Lion was a victualling house located on Paternoster Row, right on the boundary between Castle Baynard Ward and Farringdon Within Ward. Agas coordinates are based on
Warwick Lane or Eldenese Lane ran north-south from Newgate Street to Paternoster Row. Its name is derived from Warwick’s Inn, a structure built by one of the Earls of Warwick about the
signe of the Crowne
and later a Brewhouſe called the Crowne
located on the east side of Warwicke Lane near Newgate Market on the northern boundary of Castle Baynard Ward (Stow 1633, sig. 2M4v, 2M6v). Harben mentions a Crown Court

Knightrider Street ran east-west from Dowgate Street to Addle Hill, crossing College Hill, Garlick Hill, Trinity Lane, Huggin Lane, Bread Street, Old Fish Street Hill, Lambert or Lambeth Hill, St. Peter’s Hill, and Paul’s Chain. Significant landmarks included: the College of Physicians and Doctors’ Commons.
Paul’s Chain was a street that ran north-south between St Paul’s Churchyard and Paul’s Wharf, crossing over Carter Lane, Knightrider Street, and Thames Street. It was in Castle Baynard Ward. On the Agas map, it is labelled Paules chayne
. The precinct wall around St. Paul’s Church had six gates, one of which was on the south side by Paul’s Chain. It was here that a chain used to be drawn across the carriage-way entrance in order to preserve silence during church services.
Addle Hill or Athelyngstrete ran north from Knightrider Street up to Carter Lane (Stow 1633, sig. 2M4v).
Lambeth Hill ran north-south between Knightrider Street and Thames Street. Part of it lay in Queenhithe Ward and part in Castle Baynard Ward. The Blacksmiths’ Hall was located on the west side of this street, but the precise location is unknown.

Caſtle
Baynard 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,
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, 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

others, as ſhall be ſhewed.
In Thames ſtreete, at the South-eaſt

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
Nobleman, that came in with William
the Conquerour
and of

There was alſo another Tower by
Baynards Caſtle, builded by Edward
the ſecondEdward the third
ſecond of his reigne
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

Then is there a great Brew-houſe,
and 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 Edward the 3
In this Lane alſo, is one great Meſ
ſuage, of old time belonging to the Pri
orie of Okeborne in Wiltshire,
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 6Cambridge, called now the Kings Colledge.
About this Caſtle Lane was ſometime
a Mill or Mils, belonging to the Tem
plers of the New Temple, as appeareth
of Record: for Iohn
yeere of his reigne
the Fleet, neere unto Baynards Caſtle, to
make a Mill, and the whole courſe of
water of the Fleet, to ſerve the ſaid Mill.

Alſo in the Rights belonging to

was declared in the yeere
the ſaid , Caſtillon of London, and
Banner-bearer, had a Soke (or VVard)

Thames, and ſo to the ſide of the Mill,
which is in the water that commeth

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

In the yeere Edward

whereupon it was granted, that

of Carter lane, then up Creed lane, Ave

to the Brewhouſe called the Crowne, as
I ſaid, is of this Ward.
Touching Lanes aſcending out of
Thames ſtreet,
to Knight-riders ſtreet, the
firſt is Peters Hill,
wherein I finde no
matter of note, more than certaine
Almes-houſes, lately founded on the
Weſt ſide thereof, by
broyderer, for ſixe poore widdowes,
whereof each to have 20. s. by the yeere.
On the Eaſt ſide of this lane ſtandeth
a large houſe, of ancient building, ſome
time belonging to the Abbot of S. Mary
in York, and was his abiding houſe when
he came to London,
ſquire hath lately augmented and re
paired it.
At the upper end of this Lane, to
wards the North, the corner houſes

Then is Pauls Wharfe Hill,
on the Eaſt

Then higher up, neere the South
Chaine of Pauls Church-yard, is the
Powle head Taverne, which houſe with
the appurtenances, was (of old time)
called Pauls Brewhouſe, for that the ſame
was ſo imployed, but being ſince left
off, and letten out.
On the VVest ſide of this ſtreete is
one other great houſe builded of ſtone,
which belongeth to Pauls Church, and
was ſometime letten to the Blunts, Lord
Mountjoy; but of later time to a Col
ledge in Cambridge, and from them to
the Doctors of the Civill Law and Ar
ches, who keep a Commons there, and
many of them being there lodged, it is
called the Doctors Commons.
Above this,
on the ſame ſide, was one other great
building over-againſt Pauls Brewhouſe,
and this was called Pauls Bakehouſe,
and
was imployed in baking of Bread for
the Church of Pauls.
In Addle ſtreet or Lane I find no Mo

By the Eaſt end of Saint Mary Magdalens Church, runneth up the Old Ex
change lane, by the Weſt end of Carter
lane, to the South-eaſt gate or Chaine
of Pauls Church-yard, as is before ſhew
ed. And in this part was the Exchange
kept, and Bullion was received for coy
nage, as is noted in Faringdon Ward
within.
In this Pariſh Church of Saint Mary
Magdalen, out of Knight-riders ſtreet, up
to Carter lane, be two ſmall Lanes: the
one of them called Do little Lane,
as a
place not inhabited by Artificers, or o
pen Shop-keepers, but ſerving for
a neere paſſage from Knight-riders ſtreet,
to Carter lane.
The other, corruptly called Sermon
Lane,
for Sheremoniers Lane. For I find
it by that name recorded in the
teenth of Edward the firſt
Lane, a place to be called the Blacke
Loft,
(or melting Silver,) with 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 Richard the ſecond
there.
In Knight-riders ſtreet is the Colledge
of Phyſicians, wherein was founded, in
the yeere
Surgerie, to be read twice every weeke,
&c. as is ſhewed elſe-where.
In the South Church-yard of Pauls,
is the South ſide and Weſt end of the
ſaid Church: In the which Weſt end,
be three ſtately Gates, or entries, curi
ouſly wrought of ſtone, namely the mid
dle Gate, in the midſt whereof is placed
a maſſie pillar of Braſſe, whereunto the
Leaves of the ſaid great Gate are clo
ſed, and faſtened with Lockes, Bolts,
and Barres of Iron: All which notwith
ſtanding, on the December, in the
yeere 1565
then riſing from the Weſt, theſe Gates
were blowne open, the Barres, Bolts,
and Lockes broken in ſunder, or greatly
bended.
Alſo, on the Ianuary, in the
yeere 1589
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
at this preſent to the uſe of the ſame Pa
lace; the other, towards the South, is
called the Lollards Tower,
and hath
beene uſed as the Biſhops Priſon, for
ſuch as were detected for Opinions in
Religion, contrary to the faith of the
Church.
The laſt priſoner which I have
knowne committed thereto, was in the
yeere
of the middle Temple, for having de
ſperately wounded, and minding to have
murdered a ſerviceable Gentleman,
named
high ſtreet, neere unto the Strand, who
being taken and examined, was found
to hold certain Opinions erroneous, and
therefore committed thither, and con
victed: but in the end, by perſwaſion,
he promiſed to abjure his Hereſies; and
was, by commandement of the Coun
cell, removed from thence to the Tower
of London, &c. where he committed, as
in my Annales I have expreſſed.
Adjoyning to this Lowlards Tower,
is the Pariſh Church of Saint Gregory,
appointed to the Pettie Chanons of
Pauls.
Monuments of note, theſe I find there:
