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
This Warde beginneth in the Eaſt, in Knightriders ſtreete, on the ſouth ſide thereof, at the Eaſt end
of the pariſh church called the holy Trinity, and runneth weſt on the ſouth
ſide to a lane called Lambert hill,
which is the length of the warde in Knightriders ſtreete, out of the which ſtreete are diuers lanes,
running ſouth to Thames ſtreete, and
are of this warde: the firſt is Trinity
lane, which runneth downe by the weſt end of Trinity Church. Then
is Spuren lane, or Spooners lane, now called Huggen lane. Then Bredſtreete hill. Then S. Mary Mounthaunt: out of the which lane, on the East side thereof, is one other lane, turning Eaſt,
through S. Nicholas Olaues church
yard, to Bredſtreete hill. This lane
is called Finimore lane, or fiue foote lane, becauſe it is but fiue foote in
breadth at the weſt end: In the middeſt of this lane, runneth downe one
other lane broader, ſouth to Thames
ſtreete, I thinke the ſame to bee called Deſboorne lane, for I
reade of ſuch a lane to haue beene in the pariſh of Mary Summerſet, in the
Laſt of all, haue you Lambart hill
lane, ſo called of one
On the north ſide comming downe from Knightriders ſtreet, the Eaſt ſide of Lambart hill, is wholly of this warde: and the weſt ſide, from the north end of the Blacke-ſmithes Hall (which is about the middeſt of this lane) vnto Thames ſtreete. Then part of Thames ſtreete, is alſo of this warde, to wit, from a Cooks houſe called the ſigne of king Dauid, three houſes weſt from the old Swan Brewhouſe in the Eaſt, vnto Huntington houſe, ouer againſt Saint Peters Church in the weſt, neare vnto Powles Wharffe. And on the lane ſide, frō a Cookes houſe called the blew Boore, to the weſt end of Saint Peters Church, and vp Saint Peters hill, two houſes North aboue the ſaid Church. And theſe be the bounds of this ward: in which are Parriſh churches ſeuen, Halles of companies two, & other ornaments as ſhall be ſhewed.
Ward boundaries drawn on the Agas map are approximate. The Agas map does not lend itself well to georeferencing or georectification, which means that we have not been able to import the raster-based or vector-based shapes that have been generously offered to us by other projects. We have therefore used our drawing tools to draw polygons on the map surface that follow the lines traced verbally in the opening paragraph(s) of each ward chapter in the
