The Paul’s Cross outdoor preaching station is located in Paul’s Cross Churchyard on the northeast side of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Stow lists it among the sites in Farringdon Within Ward (Stow 1598, sig. S6v). Paul’s Cross is at the epicenter of the London bookselling industry, and by the end of the Elizabethan period, the pulpit was encompassed
by popular bookshops. Paul’s Cross Churchyard is adjacent, physically and culturally, to Paul’s Walk, the enormous and bustling cathedral nave, where the public came to hear news and
gossip.1 The pulpit is a prominent feature on the well-trodden passageway from Ludgate to Cheapside (or the reverse), through Paul’s Cross Churchyard.
The name Paul’s Cross is drawn from the name of the cathedral precinct it is located in. The cross as a name for an outdoor pulpit would signal the Cross of Christ and also a place of crossing. A crossing carries the meaning of an actual ambulatory
crossing, and of course the idea of crossing holds the metaphorical concept of crossing
from this life to the next in Christian and classical thought.
During the early modern period the Paul’s Cross pulpit was the site of fiery sermons and controversial public proclamations. Because
of the Paul’s Cross’s location in the northeast churchyard next to the great cathedral church of London, it became the most influential cathedral cross in England. During the Elizabethan period, Paul’s Cross stood as a center, arguably the exact center, for religious public broadcasting in
the City of London. The unsettling sermons of reform preached from that site helped to forge the unsteady
religious alliances that we now call the Elizabethan settlement. In his introduction
to Paul’s Cross and the Culture of Persuasion in England, 1520-1640, Torrance Kirby asserts that Paul’s Crosscan be reckoned among the most influential of all public venues in early modern period (Kirby 1). In Politics and the Paul’s Cross Sermons, 1558-1642, Mary Morrissey holds that, in the sixteenth century, the Paul’s Cross was second only to the court pulpits in its potential to influence ecclesiastical policy, and that it surpassed the court pulpits in its capacity to reach a wide, non-elite audience (Morrissey 2). Morrissey’s observation is strongly supported by recent reconstructions of the
pulpit and churchyard at the Virtual Paul’s Cross Project. The VPCP team has produced images and auditory of this location that vividly demonstrate
its suitability for large and sometimes unruly public gatherings, both in terms of
space and in terms of the aural advantages of its position in the L-shaped area between
the cathedral choir and north transept (Virtual Paul’s Cross Project).
The history of the Paul’s Cross pulpit ranges from well before the early modern period until the second quarter of
the seventeenth century, and it is a history of popular assembly and public spectacle.
The pulpit and surrounding churchyard comprise what might be described as a free form
site for dramatic and even volatile church and political events, standing as it does
in an open outdoor space beyond the rituals and strictures of the cathedral sanctuary.
Paul’s Cross has been connected with the rebellious quasi-populism of Simon de Montfort, with public confessions of sorcery, with the pageantry of kings, with high-profile
attacks on church doctrine, and with those who ardently defended the true church in
its various forms (Kirby 77).
Paul’s Cross and other such pulpits were arguably the descendants of pre-Norman preaching stations
that were erected to memorialize places where a populace had converted to Christianity
(MacLure 5).2 Throughout the Middle Ages these pulpits were not uncommon additions to established
churches, though Paul’s Cross is unique, positioned as it was within the City of London (Simpson 149). There may have been activity at Paul’s Cross as early as the twelfth century, and there is documentation of folk-moots, or hundred
courts, in Paul’s Cross Churchyard during the extended, thirteenth-century reign of Henry III (MacLure 5). Mary Morrissey indicates that the cross was being used as a pulpit at least by
1387 (Morrissey 8).
In the late fifteenth century the distressed Paul’s Cross was rebuilt under the auspices of Thomas Kempe, then Bishop of London. According to John Stow, Paul’s Cross was constructed of timber on a stone foundation, and the roof from which the cross
extended was made of lead (Stow 1598, sig. S6v). E. Beresford holds that the new cross had such imposing grandeur and grace of form that it became one of the outstanding decorative features of the whole city of London (Beresford 23). This assessment, though suspiciously hyperbolic, is supported by the John Gipkyn’s diptych of 1616 and its curious rendering of Paul’s Cross:
A sermon preached in the presence of King James at Paul’s Cross. By permission of the Society of Antiquaries, London.
The pulpit was built for permanence and prominence, and it encouraged stateliness
in spectacle, albeit it was often the seat of condemnation and outrage. Famously,
during the Tudor period, Paul’s Cross hosted emotionally charged public gatherings, and a fiery speech from the cross could
incite a riot. As legend has it, a speech from the Paul’s Cross provoked the Evil May Day riots in 1517. In another riotous event, if we are to believe John Foxe and others, there was an impromptu demonstration in the art of knife throwing at
a speaker during a sermon (Foxe 11223).
Such events were carried out in a churchyard that remained the ground for common and
sometimes mass burial into the seventeenth century. Preaching about the shameful and
uneasy relationship between the living and the dead in this locale, Hugh Latimer complained in a sermon that too many people were buried in Paul’s Cross Churchyard, particularly at times of great sickness when so many die together (Latimer 276). On a strikingly personal note, Latimer added that when I have been there in some mornings to hear the sermons, I have felt such an ill
favored, unwholesome savour, that I was the worse for it a great while after (Latimer 276).
The nineteenth-century historian of St. Paul’s Cathedral, W. Sparrow Simpson, points out that, before the reformed church, Bulls and Papal edicts were read from Paul’s Cross and heretics were denounced, heresies abjured, ex-communications published, great political
changes made known to the people, penances performed (Simpson 152). Paul’s Cross arguably served as the first great public theatre in Tudor London, as it hosted what might be called religious reality shows. Public confessions were
a staple of the Paul’s Cross preaching event, and they required blocking and costumes. Lost souls were brought
before the cross to repent, and they were sometimes struck by the ordained while asked
for more or better recantation. MacLure notes how the penitent would at times be ushered
before the Cross in plain view of the audience, wearing a white sheet, carrying faggots and a taper (MacLure 16). Paul’s Cross itself was not the preferred spot for public executions, although there were executions
in the churchyard (Morrissey 107). It was, however, the preferred site for book mutilations and burnings. The theologian,
Reginald Pecock, reportedly had his books burned there in the mid-fifteenth century. Martin Luther’s books were said to have been burnt there during a sermon in 1521. In 1543, Thomas Beccon, who later became a Paul’s Cross preacher, was reportedly required to tear his naughty books to pieces in front of a Paul’s Cross audience (MacLure 8).
During the early modern period, the drama at Paul’s Cross intensified as the standing hostilities between Rome and reform remained, and new
and intractable interfaith conflicts emerged and were addressed from the pulpit. These
sermons took on a new dramatic flare, presented as they were by such prominent Reformation
figures as Stephen Gardiner, Miles Coverdale, Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley, Hugh Latimer, Gilbert Bourne, Edmund Grindal, Matthew Parker, John Jewel, John Foxe, Edwin Sandys, and John Donne, to name only a few. These sermons were delivered to large and engaged audiences
within a populace that was growing more literate and that had more immediate access
to the often hot religious print material that flowed around and through these events,
most directly from the growing number of bookshops that surrounded Paul’s Cross Churchyard. A fine recreation of the environment and acoustics of a Paul’s Cross pulpit sermon, in this case the famous Gunpowder Plot sermon by John Donne, can be found at the Virtual Paul’s Cross Project.
During this period, audiences could indeed be quite large at Paul’s Cross events, with estimated crowds of 6,000 and even more in one report. One doubts the
accuracy of these estimations, but they suggest big numbers and mass participation
(Virtual Paul’s Cross Project). The Virtual Paul’s Cross Project team has suggested that even with a more reasonable crowd of half that size it would approximate roughly 3% of London’s population at certain high-profile preaching events (Virtual Paul’s Cross Project).
The new Elizabethan public amphitheatres were built to hold up to 3,000 people, though
this exact number is difficult to confirm (Gurr 25). Indeed, MacLure connects Paul’s Cross with the public amphitheatres that were constructed during and after the Elizabethan
period. He remarks that at Paul’s Cross, the sermons, proclamations, processions, and penances were all theatrical, after comparing the Gipkin scene at Paul’s Cross to the Elizabethan theatre, with its groundlings and notables, pit and galleries, and, in the midst, the pulpit as stage (MacLure 4). Toward the end of the sixteenth century, the pulpit was encircled by a low dwarf
wall, which in effect made a room on the inside near the preacher where those willing
to pay a fee could sit and hear the sermon in this special space (Morrissey 8-9). Such a space was similar to the seating on stage afforded to influential patrons
at certain theatres in London.
Paul’s Cross was not only used for sermons but also for political proclamations, though, as Morrissey
has shown, one cannot parse the religious from the political during this time. And
the religion from all quarters was often hot religion. From the early years of the
Elizabethan period well into the Jacobean period, there would have been a shared knowledge
of the deep (and perhaps spurious in places) history of Paul’s Cross from such sources as the chronicles of Richard Grafton and the more prevalent John Stow. Perhaps because it could not withstand the rise of Puritan distain, or perhaps because
the area simply lost pertinence, Paul’s Cross was taken down at some point between 1634 and 1643 (Morrissey 354).

St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. The
church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again.
An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king
to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would
become the cathedral of St. Paul’s
which survived until the Great Fire of London.
St. Paul’s Cathedral is mentioned in the following documents:
Cheapside Street, one of the most important streets in early modern London, ran east-west between the Great Conduit at the foot of Old Jewry to the Little Conduit by St. Paul’s churchyard. The terminus of all the northbound streets from the river, the broad expanse of
Cheapside Street separated the northern wards from the southern wards. It was lined with buildings
three, four, and even five stories tall, whose shopfronts were open to the light and
set out with attractive displays of luxury commodities (Weinreb and Hibbert 148). Cheapside Street was the centre of London’s wealth, with many mercers’ and goldsmiths’ shops located there. It was also the most sacred stretch of the processional route,
being traced both by the linear east-west route of a royal entry and by the circular
