Mark Lane ran north-south from Fenchurch Street to Tower
Street. It was
for the most parte of this Towerstreet warde(Stow). The north end of the street, from Fenchurch Street to Hart Street was divided between Aldgate Ward and Landbourn Ward. Stow says Mark Lane was
so called of a Priuiledge sometime enjoyed to keepe a mart there, long since discontinued, and therefore forgotten, so as nothing remaineth for memorie(Stow). Modern scholars have suggested that it was instead named after the mart, where oxen were fattened for slaughter (Harben).
Mark Lane, or Mart
Lane, is found on the Agas map west of
Herte Str.and
Sethinge La.,bearing the label
Marck Lane.Mark Lane is also found on Benjamin Cole’s 1754 engraving of Tower Street Ward (Cole).
