NExt adioining is Chepe warde,
which also
beginneth
in the East, on the course of Walbrooke, in Buckles
bury, and runneth vp on both the sides to the great
Conduit in Cheape. Also on the south syde of Buck-
church, through Needlers lane, on the north side thereof, and then
through a péece of Sopars lane, on both sydes vp to Chepe, be all
of Chepe warde. Then to be begin againe in the east vpon the said
course of Walbrooke, is S. Mildreds church in the Poultrie, on
the north side, and ouer against the said church gate, on the south to
passe vp al that high stréet called the Poultrie, to the great conduit
in Chepe, and then Chepe it selfe, which beginneth by the east end
of the said Conduit, and stretcheth vp to the North East corner of
Bow lane, on the south side, and to the standard on the North side,
and thus far to the west is of Cheape ward. On the south side of
this high stréet is no lane turning south out of this ward, more thē
some small portion of Sopars lane, whereof I haue before
written. But on the North side of this high stréete is Conyhope
lane, about one quarter of Olde Iurie lane, on the west side and on
the East side almost as much to the signe of the Angell. Then is
Iremongers lane, all wholly on both sides, and from the North
end thereof through Catton stréete, West to the North ende of
S. Laurence lane, and some 4. houses west beyond the same on that
side, and ouer against Ironmongers lane end on the North side of
Catton stréete vp by the Guildhal, and S. Laurence church in the
Iurie is altogether of Chepe ward. Then againe in Chepe more
toward the west is S. Laurence lane before named, which is all
wholly of this warde, and last of all is Hony lane, and so vp to the
standard on that North side of Chepe: and so stand the boundes of
Chepe ward.

Now for antiquities there, first is Buckles berie,
so called of a
mannor, and tenementes pertayning to one Buckle,
dwelled, and kept his courts. This Mannor is supposed to be the
great stone building, yet in parte remaining on the south side the
stréete, which of late time hath beene called the old Barge, of such
a signe hanged out neare the gate thereof. This Mannor or great
house hath of long time béene diuided and letten out into many te-
nements: and it hath béene a common speech that when the Wal-
brooke did lie open, barges were rowed out of the Thames, or to-
wed vp so far, and therefore the place hath euer since béene called The special character yͤ (LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH LATIN SMALL LETTER E ABOVE) does not display on all browsers and has been replaced by its simplified form.ye

one Buckle a Grocer, meaning in place thereof to haue set vppe
and builded a goodly frame of Timber, but the saide Buckle gree-

This whole streete called Buckles bury on both the
sides
throughout, is possessed of Grocers and Apothecaries toward the
west ende thereof, on the south side, breaketh out one other short
lane called in recordes Peneritch streete, it reacheth but to Saint
Sythes lane, and S. Sythes Church is the farthest part thereof, for
by the west ende of the saide Church beginneth Needelars lane,
which reacheth to Sopars lane as is aforesaide, this small parish
Church of S. Sith hath also an addition of Bennet shorne (or
Shrog, or Shorehogge) for by al these names haue I read it, but
the auncientest is Shorne, wherefore it seemeth to take that name
of one Benedict Shorne, sometime a Cittizen, and Stockefish-
monger of London, a new builder, repayrer or Benefactor ther-
of, in the raigne of E. the ſecond, so that Shorne is but corruptlie
called Shrog, and more corruptly Shorehog.

Here Thomas Tusser, clad in earth doth lie,
That sometime made the pointes of husbandrie,
By him then learne thou maist, here learne we must,
When all is done we sleepe and turne to dust,
And yet through Christ to heauen we hope to go,
Who reades his bookes shall finde his faith was so.

Of the name of this streete, called the Poultrie, I
haue before
spoken as also of the lane called Skalding house, or Skalding
wike &c. On this north side some foure houses west from Saint
Mildred church, is a prison house pertayning to one of the She-
riffes, and is called the Compter in the Poultrie, and hath beene
there kept time out of minde, for I haue not read of the originall
thereof. Somewhat west from this Comptar, was sometime
a proper Chappell of Corpus Christi, and S. Marie, at Conie-
hopelane end in the parish of S. Mildrede, founded by one named
Ionyrunnes, a Citizen of London, in the raigne of Edwarde the
thirde, where was a Guilde or Fraternitie, that might dispend in
lands better then twentie pound by yeare, it was suppressed by
Henry the eight, and purchased by one Hobson, a Haberdasher,
who turned this Chappell into a fayre warehouse, and shops to-
wardes the streete, with lodginges ouer them. Then is Con-
ningshop lane, of olde time so called of a signe of three Conies,
hanging ouer a Poulters stall at the lane ende. Within this lane
standeth the Grocers hall, which Companie being of olde time
called Peperars, were first incorporated by the name of Grocers
in the yeare 1345, at which time they elected for Custos or Gar-
dian of their Fraternitie, Richarde Oswine, and Lawrence
Halliwel, and twentie Brethren were then taken in, to be of their
scocietie.

West from this Conyhope lane is the olde Iury, whereof
some portion is of Cheape warde, as afore is shewed. At the south
ende of this lane, is
so named of one Cole that builded it, this church is builded vp-
pon a vault aboue ground, so that men are forced to ascend vp ther-
unto by certaine steps. I finde no monumentes of this church,
more then that Henry the fourth graunted licence to VVilliam
Marshall and others to found a Brotherhoode of S. Katheren
therein, because Thomas Becker, & S. Edmond the Archbishop
were baptized there. Next to that is Mercers Chappell, some-

so named of one Cole that builded it, this church is builded vp-

more then that Henry the fourth graunted licence to VVilliam
Marshall and others to found a Brotherhoode of S. Katheren
therein, because Thomas Becker, & S. Edmond the Archbishop
were baptized there. Next to that is Mercers Chappell, some-

Henry the ſecond, they gaue to the maister and brethren the lands

Before this Chappell towardes the streete, there was builded
a fayre and beutifull Chappell, arched ouer with stone, and there-

Glasse window ouer this tombe, and in the East window is the
likenesse of welles, with handes eleuated out of the same welles,
holding scrowles, wherein is written Mercy, the writing in the
East window being broken yet remayneth Welles. I founde his
armes also in the South glasse windowe, all which do shewe that
the East ende and South side the Quire of this chappell, and the

Adioyning to this chappell on south side was sometime a fayre
and large librarie, furnished with bookes, pertaining to the Guild-
hall and colledge: These bookes (as it is said) were in the raigne
of Edward the 6. sent for by Edward Duke of Sommerset, Lord
Protector, with promise to be restored shortly: men laded from
thence thrée Carriers with them, but neuer returned. This libra-
rie was builded by the executors of R. Whittington, and by Wil-
liam Burie: the armes of Whittington are placed on the one
side in the stone worke, and two letters, to wit, W. and B. for
William Burie, on the other side: it is now lofted through, and
made a store house for clothes. Southwest from this Guildhall,
is the faire parish church of S. Laurence called in the Iunie, because
of olde time since the raigne of William Conqueror (that first
brought Iewes from Roan into this realme) many Iewes inha-
bited there about, vntill that in the yeare 1290. the 18. of Ed-
ward the firſt they were wholly and for euer by the said king bani-
shed this realme, hauing of their owne goodes to beare their char-
ges, till they were out of his dominions. The number of the
Iewes at that time banished were 15060. persons whose houses
being sold, the king made of them a mightie masse of money. This
church is faire and large, and hath some monuments, as shall bee
shewed. I my selfe more then 60. yeares since haue séene in this
church the shanke bone of a man (as it is taken)
a very great bignesse hanged, vp for shewe in chaines of Iron
vppon a pillar of stone, the tooth (being about the bignesse of a
mans fist) is long since conueyed from thence+the thigh or shanke
bone of 25. inches in length by the rule, remaineth yet fastened to
the thicknes, hardnes, and strength thereof, for when it was han-
ged on the stone pillar, it fretted with mouing the said pillar, and
was not it selfe fretted, nor (as séemeth) is not yet lightned by re-
maining drie: but where or when this bone was first found or dis-
couered I haue not heard, and therfore reiecting the fables of some
late writers I ouerpasse them. There lie buried in this church
Elizabeth wife to Iohn Fortescue, Katherine Stoketon, Iohn
Stratton, Phillip Albert, Iohn Fleming, Phillip Agmonde-
sham, William Skywith, Iohn Norlong, Iohn Baker, Tho-
mas Alleyne, William Barton Mercer, 1410. William Mel-

and large librarie, furnished with bookes, pertaining to the Guild-
hall and colledge: These bookes (as it is said) were in the raigne
of Edward the 6. sent for by Edward Duke of Sommerset, Lord
Protector, with promise to be restored shortly: men laded from
thence thrée Carriers with them, but neuer returned. This libra-
rie was builded by the executors of R. Whittington, and by Wil-
liam Burie: the armes of Whittington are placed on the one
side in the stone worke, and two letters, to wit, W. and B. for
William Burie, on the other side: it is now lofted through, and
made a store house for clothes. Southwest from this Guildhall,
is the faire parish church of S. Laurence called in the Iunie, because
of olde time since the raigne of William Conqueror (that first
brought Iewes from Roan into this realme) many Iewes inha-
bited there about, vntill that in the yeare 1290. the 18. of Ed-
ward the firſt they were wholly and for euer by the said king bani-
shed this realme, hauing of their owne goodes to beare their char-
ges, till they were out of his dominions. The number of the
Iewes at that time banished were 15060. persons whose houses
being sold, the king made of them a mightie masse of money. This
church is faire and large, and hath some monuments, as shall bee
shewed. I my selfe more then 60. yeares since haue séene in this
church the shanke bone of a man (as it is taken)
A shank bone
of 25. inches
long, of a man
as is said, but
might be of
an Oliphant,
and also a tooth ofof 25. inches
long, of a man
as is said, but
might be of
an Oliphant,
a very great bignesse hanged, vp for shewe in chaines of Iron
vppon a pillar of stone, the tooth (being about the bignesse of a
mans fist) is long since conueyed from thence+the thigh or shanke
bone of 25. inches in length by the rule, remaineth yet fastened to
a post

a post of
timber, & is not so much to be noted for the length, as forthe thicknes, hardnes, and strength thereof, for when it was han-
ged on the stone pillar, it fretted with mouing the said pillar, and
was not it selfe fretted, nor (as séemeth) is not yet lightned by re-
maining drie: but where or when this bone was first found or dis-
couered I haue not heard, and therfore reiecting the fables of some
late writers I ouerpasse them. There lie buried in this church
