Bishopsgate Street
Bishopsgate Street ran north from Cornhill Street to the southern end of Shoreditch Street at the city boundary. South of
Cornhill, the road became Gracechurch Street, and the two streets formed a
major north-south artery in the eastern end of the walled city of London, from
London Bridge to Shoreditch. Bishopsgate Street was one
of the original Roman roads in the city of London.
The street is named after Bishopsgate, the gate in
the northern city wall through which it passes. The gate also gave its name to
Bishopsgate Ward. Stow states that the segement of Bishopsgate Street that extends outside the wall was
of old time called Bearewardes lane(Stow 1598, sig. C6r).
Just inside the gate on Bishopsgate Street was the
church of St. Ethelburga, which was built in
the middle ages. St. Erkenwald, who, as legend has
it, rebuilt the Roman gate, was her brother (Smith 24). The church in her name on Bishopsgate Street is
the only church in England dedicated to Erkenwald’s sister(Bebbington 48). Two other churches stood on Bishopsgate Street, St. Helen and St. Botolph, Aldgate.
During the Tudor and Elizabethan periods, several wealthy merchants had homes on
Bishopsgate Street. These rich residents
included Sir Thomas Gresham, Sir John Crosby, and Sir Paul Pindar.
Gresham in particular left his mark on the
street and the city in its entirety when he left his house as the location of
Gresham College (Weinreb and Hibbert 67, Stow 1:76).
There were two more buildings of historical and literary importance on Bishopsgate Street. The first of these is Bethlehem Hospital. Located just outside the city
walls, Bethlehem, commonly corrupted to the short
form Bedlam, was a mental hospital. Bethlehem Hospital is the origin of the nickname
Jack o’ Bedlam or Tom o’ Bedlam, a common literary and dramatic name for a
madman.
The second important site on Bishopsgate Street was
theBull Inn, where plays were performed
before Shakespeare’s time(Weinreb 67). The Bull Inn’s early staging of plays is historically significant because one of the actors, Burbage,
obtained a licence from Queen Elizabeth to erect a building specially designed for theatrical performances(Weinreb and Hibbert 67). This licence would permit the creation of the Theatre, which was the first playhouse in London, and the one with which William Shakespeare and the Lord Chamberlain’s Men became associated.
Bishopsgate Street led to Shoreditch Street, where Burbage’s
Theatre stood. Close by was another theatre, the Curtain, which the Lord
Chamberlain’s Men rented when Burbage lost the
lease on the Theatre in 1597. Anyone passing out of the city to see a play
by Shakespeare at the Theatre or the Curtain in the
1590s would have travelled along Bishopsgate
Street.
Bishopsgate Street still exists, and now consists
mostly of Victorian era office blocks (Weinreb and Hibbert 67).

Locations

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 nameCornhill
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.Cornhill is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Shoreditch Street
Shoreditch Street, also called Sewersditch, was a continuation of Bishopsgate Street, passing northward from Norton Folgate to the small town of Shoreditch, a suburb of London in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, for which the road was likely named. Shoreditch first appears in manuscripts in 1148 as Scoreditch, meaningditch of Sceorf [or Scorre]
(Weinreb and Hibbert 807).Shoreditch Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Gracechurch Street
Gracechurch Street ran north-south from Cornhill Street near Leadenhall Market to the bridge. At the southern end, it was calledNew 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.Gracechurch Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
London is mentioned in the following documents:
-
London Bridge
As the only bridge in London crossing the Thames until 1729, London Bridge was a focal point of the city. After its conversion from wood to stone, completed in 1209, the bridge housed a variety of structures, including a chapel and a growing number of shops. The bridge was famous for the cityʼs grisly practice of displaying traitorsʼ heads on poles above its gatehouses. Despite burning down multiple times, London Bridge was one of the few structures not entirely destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666.London Bridge is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Shoreditch
A suburban neighbourhood located just north of Moorfields and outside Londonʼs City Wall, Shoreditch was a focal point of early modern theatrical culture. Following a boom in Londonʼs population from 1550 to 1600, the neighbourhood became a prime target for development. The building of the Theatre in 1576 and the Curtain in the following year established Shoreditchʼs reputation as Londonʼs premier entertainment district, and the neigbourhood also featured a growing number of taverns, alehouses, and brothels. These latter establishments were often frequented by local players, of whom many prominent members were buried on the grounds of nearby St. Leonardʼs Church. Today, Shoreditch faces the potential revival of its early modern theatrical culture through the efforts of the Museum of London Archaeology and the Tower Hamlets Theatre Company.Shoreditch is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bethlehem Hospital
Although its name evokes the pandemonium of the archetypal madhouse, Bethlehem (Bethlem, Bedlam) Hospital was not always an asylum. As Stow tells us, Saint Mary of Bethlehem began as aPriorie of Cannons with brethren and sisters,
founded in 1247 by Simon Fitzmary,one of the Sheriffes of London
(Stow 1:164). We know from Stow’s Survey that the hospital, part of Bishopsgate ward (without), resided on the west side of Bishopsgate Street, just north of St. Botolph without Bishopsgate (Stow 1:165).Bethlehem Hospital is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Black Bull Inn (Bishopsgate Street)

-
Bishopsgate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bishopsgate Ward
Bishopsgate Ward shares its western boundary with the eastern boundaries of Shoreditch and Broad Street Ward and, thus, encompasses area both inside and outside the Wall. The ward and its main street, Bishopsgate Street, are named after Bishopsgate.Bishopsgate Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Berwardes Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Ethelburga
St. Ethelburga was a church on the east side of Bishopsgate Street, south of Bishopsgate and east of St. Mary Axe. The church was in Bishopsgate Ward. St. Ethelburga, described by Stow as asmall Parish Church
(Stow), is located on the Agas map northwest ofS. Elen
and immediately east of thegate
in theBusshopp gate Streate
label.St. Ethelburga is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Helen’s (Bishopsgate)
St. Helen’s was a priory of Benedictine nuns located in Bishopsgate Ward between St. Mary Axe Street and Bishopsgate Street. St. Helen’s is visible on the Agas map with the labelS. Elen
written in the churchyard. Stow and Harben inform us that the priory was set up in 1212 by William Basing, the dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral (Stow; Harben).St. Helen’s (Bishopsgate) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Botolph (Aldgate)
St. Botolph, Aldgate was a parish church near Aldgate at the junction of Aldgate Street and Houndsditch. It was located in Portsoken Ward on the north side of Aldgate Street. Stow notes that theChurch hath beene lately new builded at the speciall charges of the Priors of the holy Trinitie
before the Priory was dissolved in 1531 (Stow).St. Botolph (Aldgate) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Gresham House is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Curtain
In 1577, the Curtain, a second purpose-built London playhouse arose in Shoreditch, just north of the City of London. The Curtain, a polygonal amphitheatre, became a major venue for theatrical and other entertainments until at least 1622 and perhaps as late as 1698. Most major playing companies, including the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, the Queen’s Men, and Prince Charles’s Men, played there. It is the likely site for the premiere of Shakespeare’s plays Romeo and Juliet and Henry V.The Curtain is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Theatre
The first purpose-built playhouse in England, the Theatre, located in Shoreditch, was constructed in 1576 by actor James Burbage. While direct evidence of plays performed at the Theatre is rare, scholars have inferred that the playhouse was used by the Queen Elizabeth’s Men, Earl of Leicester’s Men, Earl of Warwick’s Men, Lord Strange’s Men, Admiral’s Men, Chamberlain’s Men, and Earl of Pembroke’s Men. In 1598, the Theatre was dismantled after a land dispute and was relocated to Bankside were it was erected as theGlobe.
