This
Hospitall was valued at the suppression in the yeare,1539. the 31. of Henry the eight to 35. pounde, six shil-
linges, 7. pence, yearely. The church remaineth a parish church
to the Tenantes dwelling in the precinct of the Hospitall, but in
the yeare 1546. on the 13. of Ianuarie, the Bishop of Roche-
ster, preaching at Paules Crosse, declared the gift of the said king,
to the Citizens for releeuing of the poore, which conteyned the
Church of the Gray Fryars, the church of S. Bartilmew with the
Hospitall, with all the Messuages and appurtenances in Gilt-
spurre, alias Knightridars streete, Breton streete, Petar Kay, in
the parish of S. Mary Magdalen, in olde Fishstreete, and in the
parish of S. Benet Huda, Lymehurst, or Lymehost, in the Pa-
rish of Stebunheth, &c. Then also were orders deuised for releefe
of the poore, the inhabitants were al called to their parish churches
whereby Sir Richarde Dobbes then Maior their seuerall Alder-
men, or other graue Citizens, they were by eloquent orations
perswaded how great and how many commodities woulde ensew
vnto them and their Citie, if the poore of diuers sorts which they
named were taken from out their streets, lanes, and allies, & were
bestowed and prouided for in Hospitalles abroade &c. therefore
was euery man moued liberally to grant, what they woulde
impart, towardes the preparing, and furnishing of such Hospitals
& also what they would contribute weekely towardes their main-
tenance for a time (which they saide should not be past one yeare
or twaine) vntill that they were better furnished of endowment:
to make short euery man granted liberally, according to his habi-
lity, and bookes were drawne of the releefe in euery warde of the
City, towardes the new Hospitalles, and were deliuered by the
Maior, to the kinges Commissioners, on the 17. of February,
and order was taken therein, so as the 26. of Iuly, in the yeare
1552. the repayring of the Gray Fryars house, for poore father-
lesse children, was taken in hand, and also in the latter ende of the
same moneth, began the repayring of this Hospitall of S. Bartil-
mew, and was of new endowed, and furnished at the charges of
the Citizens.

Amongst other memorable matters touching this Priorie,
one is of an Archbishops visitation, which Mathew Paris hath
thus. Boniface (sayth hee) Archbishoppe of Canterbury, in his
Uisitation, came to this Priorie, where being receiued with Pro-
cession, in the most solemne wise, hee saide that he passed not vpon
the honor, but came to visite them, to whome the Canons an-
wered that they hauing a learned Bishop, ought not in contempt
of him, to be visited by any other: which answere so much offen-
ded the Archbishop, that hee forthwith fell on the Supprior and
smote him
English Traitors so to answere mee, thus raging with othes not
to bee recited, hee rent in peeces the rich Cope of the Supprior,
Chancell, with such spirituall violence, that hee had almost killed
him: But the Chanons seeing their Supprior thus almost slaine,
came and plucked off the Archbishop
uerthrew him backwards, whereby they might see that hee was
armed and prepared to fight, the Archbishops men seeing their
maister down (being all strangers and their maisters countrimen,
borne in Prouence)
and trod them vnder feete, at length the Canons getting away as
well as they could, ran bloody and myry, rent and torne, to the
Bishop
at Westminster, and tell him thereof, whereupon foure of them
went thether, the rest were not able, they were so sore hurt, but
when they came to Westminster, the king would neither heare
nor see them, so they returned without redresse, in the meane season

Then is Smithfielde Pond,
which of olde time in recordes
was called Horse Poole, for that men watered horses there, and
was a great water. In the 6. of Henry the fift, a new building
was made in this west part of Smithfielde betwixt the said Poole
and the Riuer of the Wels, or Turnemill Brooke, in a place
(then called the Elmes, for that there grew many Elme trees)
and this had beene the place of execution for Offendors: since the
which time the building there hath beene so increased, that now
remaineth not one tree growing.

In this house for the large and commodious roomes thereof, di-

in Michelmas tearme, the Sergeants at Law helde their feast in
this house, to the which amongst other estates, Mathew Phillip
Mayor of London, with the Aldermen, Sheriffes, and commons
of diuers crafts being inuited did repaire: but when the Mayor loo-

Gray of Ruthen, then Lord Treasurer of England, vnwitting
the Sergeantes and against their willes (as they said) was first
ted home, and the Mayor made the Aldermen to dine with him:
howbeit he and all the Citizens were wonderfully displeased, that
he was so dealt with, and the newe Sergeantes and others were
right sorie therefore, and had rather then much good (as they said)

Next out of the high street turneth downe a lane, called the lit-

and there yet remaineth in this lane an Alley, called Limeburners

the high stréete turneth downe Snor hill, to Oldborne Conduit,
and from thence to Oldborne bridge, beyond the which bridge on
the left hand is Shooe lane, by the which men passe from Oldborn
to Fleetestreete, by the Conduite there. In this Shooe lane
on the left hande is one olde house called Oldborne hall, it is now

the first, and therefore harder to be broken, vnder the which they
found in the made ground, piles of timber, driuen very thicke and
almost close together the same being as blacke as pitch or coale,

the king was enformed that hee had much Treasure layde vp in
his new Temple, vnder the custody of the Templars, whereupon
he sent for the maister of the Temple, and examined him straight-
lie, who confessed that money being deliuered vnto him and his
Brethren to be kept, he knew not how much there was of it, the
king demanded to haue the same deliuered, but it was answered
that the money being committed vnto their trust, could not be de-
liuered without the licence of him that committed it, to Ecclesi-
asticall protection, whereupon the king sent his Treasurer and
Iusticiar of the Exchequer vnto Hubert to require him to resigne
the money wholy into his handes, who answered that he would
gladly submit himselfe, and all his vnto the kinges pleasure, and
thereupon desired the knightes of the Temple in his behalfe to
present all the keyes vnto the king to doe his pleasure, with the
goodes which he had committed vnto them. Then the king com-
