Aldersgate
¶Location
Aldersgate was one of London’s four original gates (Stow 1598, sig. C7r), labelled
Alders gateon the Agas map. The gate was likely built into the Wall of London during the Roman Conquest, marking the northern entrance into the city. Situated between Cripplegate and Newgate and south of St. Botolph Church, it divided Aldersgate Ward in two, placing half of the ward within the boundaries of the Wall and the other half without. Londoners and visitors alike would use Aldersgate street to access the gate and enter the city, after which the street split into St. Anne’s Lane and St. Martin’s le Grand, Aldersgate Ward’s primary throughway.
¶Name and Etymology
Aldersgate’s earliest recorded mention is a reference to
Ealdredesgatein Ethelred’s Institutes (Harben). According to Stow, common belief held that the name derived either from the alder trees which grew around Aldersgate or the aldermen who built it; he dismisses these claims entirely, instead linking Aldersgate’s etymology to
the very antiquitie of the gate it selfeand its status as an
eldergate of London (Stow 1598, sig. C7r). Harben, however, opposes Stow’s hypothesis, asserting that
The name is almost certainly derived from the personal name ‘Ealdred’ or ‘Aidred’.
Harben lists the following spelling variants:
Aldredesgate | Aldredesgat | Aldridesgate | Aldretheggate | Aldrethesgate | Alresgate | Aldresgate | Aldreidesgate | Allereddesgate | Aldrichesgate | Aldersgate | Alcheresgate | Aldrichgate | Aldrisgate | Aldrichegate | Alderichesgate | Aldrechegate | Alderychgate | Alderichgate | Alderichegate | Alderesgate | Aldrychegate | Aldrychgate | Aldrychesgate | Aldrisshgate | Althergate | Altergate (BHO)
¶History
Aldersgate’s exact year of construction is unknown. Thornbury asserts that its Roman origins
can be proven by
the considerable Roman remains that have come to light in the neighbourhood from time to time(Thornbury), and Harben notes that
a Roman ditch Gap in transcription. Reason: Editorial omission for reasons of length or relevance. Use only in quotations in born-digital documents.[…] [found] on the site of the General Post Office Gap in transcription. Reason: Editorial omission for reasons of length or relevance. Use only in quotations in born-digital documents.[…] may have been part of a later scheme for strengthening the defences of the City(Harben).
The first post-Roman additions to the gate were a lead covering and the incorporation
of a small house for the gatekeeper in 1335 (Harben). In 1617, the gate was pulled down due to its increasing disrepair. The ensuing reconstruction
project was completed in 1618 at the expense of a legacy left by William Parker for the express purpose of rebuilding Aldersgate (Thornbury).
Forty-eight years later, the gate was damaged in the Great Fire of 1666; in 1670 it was repaired once again, and in 1793 Mayor John Salter facilitated the third and final restoration of Aldersgate. The gate’s materials were sold in April 1761 and it was demolished soon after (Harben).
¶Architecture
The facade of gate’s north side featured a central stone bas relief of James VI and I on horseback, placed beneath a rendering of the royal crest and flanked by elaborate
niches dedicated to biblical prophets. Surviving images indicate that the south face
was dominated by apartment windows, but another depiction of James was likely featured there at some point (Thornbury). The gate’s central arch was large enough to accommodate general street traffic,
with the smaller side entrances reserved for foot pedestrians.
Over time, additions to the gate—including a timber frame and newer buildings with
tile and stone flooring (Stow 1598, sig. C7r)—accompanied the growth of its cultural significance, though Thornbury describes
its architecture as
heavy and inelegant(Thornbury). Stow describes a two-story well located inside the gate, and notes that it was uncommon for gates to have a well, especially one of that size (Stow 1598, sig. C7r).
Seventeenth- and eighteenth-century images of Aldersgate survive in numerous sources.

¶Significance
Aldersgate was a major route into London. The generous apartment space within the gate made it a hub for commercial and social
activity. Printer John Day, renowned for his publication of John Foxe’s Actes and Monuments, lived in Aldersgate. In 1551 he re-printed Edmund Becke’s edition of the Byble under his sole imprint (25). Thomas Harper, another printer, kept shop by Aldersgate into the mid 1600s (Sugden). In Thomas Dekker’s The Seven Deadly Sins of London, Candlelight
makes his entrance therefore at Aldersgate of set purpose, for though the streete be faire and spatious, yet few lightes in mistie euenings(Dekker).
James VI and I supposedly entered London through Aldersgate when he journeyed from Scotland to claim England’s throne in 1603, following the death of Elizabeth I. The two stone reliefs over the central arch were constructed to commemorate his
succession; the northern face’s equestrian bas relief was meant to symbolize his arrival
in London, while a depiction of James in robes on the south side honoured his reign (Thornbury).
¶Aldersgate Today
Over time, the gate’s literary, political, and religious associations secured it a
permanent spot in London’s cultural memory. In 1738 it would become the alleged site of John Wesley’s spiritual awakening and resultant
pioneering of Methodism (see UCM). Its legacy lives on in modern-day Aldersgate Street and the Methodist commemoration
of Aldersgate Day, or Wesley Day, celebrated annually in May.

The Wall
Originally built as a Roman fortification for the provincial city of Londinium in the second century C.E., the London Wall remained a material and spatial boundary for the city throughout the early modern period. Described by Stow ashigh and great
(Stow 1:8), the London Wall dominated the cityscape and spatial imaginations of Londoners for centuries. Increasingly, the eighteen-foot high wall created a pressurized constraint on the growing city; the various gates functioned as relief valves where development spilled out to occupy spacesoutside the wall.
The Wall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cripplegate
Cripplegate was one of the original gates in the city wall (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 221; Harben). It was the northern gate of a large fortress that occupied the northwestern corner of the Roman city.Cripplegate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Newgate
The gaol at Newgate, a western gate in the Roman Wall of London, was constructed in the twelfth century specifically to detainfellons and trespassors
awaiting trial by royal judges (Durston 470; O’Donnell 25; Stow 1598, sig. C8r). The gradual centralisation of the English criminal justice system meant that by the reign of Elizabeth I, Newgate had become London’s most populated gaol. In the early modern period, incarceration was rarely conceived of as a punishment in itself; rather, gaols like Newgate were more like holding cells, where inmates spent time until their trials or punishments were effected, or their debts were paid off.Newgate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Botolph (Aldersgate) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Aldersgate Ward
Aldersgate Ward is west of Cripplegate Ward. Both the ward and its main street are named after Aldersgate, the north gate of the city.Aldersgate Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Aldersgate Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Anne’s Lane
St. Anne’s Lane ran east-west from Foster Lane to St. Martin’s Lane (le Grand). It was named after the Church of St. Anne and St. Agnes and is also called Pope Lane by Stow,so called of one Pope that was owner therof
(Stow 1598, sig. K2v, K4r). According to Sugden, St. Anne’s Lane might have included St. Anne’s Alley as well, forming one long lanebetween St. Martin’s and Noble St
(Sugden). Because Harben and Stow treat these two places as distinct, we have followed their lead in our own gazetteer (Harben; Stow 1598, sig. K2v).St. Anne’s Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Martin’s Lane (le Grand)
St. Martin’s Lane (le Grand) ran north-south between St. Anne’s Lane and Cheapside Street and was located at the western edge of Aldersgate Ward. The street takes its name from the church of St. Martin’s le Grand located to the east of the street. This portion of the Agas map is labelledS. Martins
referring to either or both the church and the street. This street is not to be confused with St. Martin’s Lane (Strand) or St. Martin’s Lane (Bridge Within Ward).St. Martin’s Lane (le Grand) is mentioned in the following documents:
