Budge Row ran east-west through Cordwainer Street ward. It passed through the ward from Soper Lane in the west to Walbrook in the east. Beyond Soper Lane, Budge Row became Watling Street. Before it came to be known as Budge Row, it once formed part of Watling Street, one of the Roman roads (Weinreb and Hibbert 107).

Budge Row ran east-west through Cordwainer Street ward. It passed through the ward from Soper Lane in the west to Walbrook in the east. Beyond Soper Lane, Budge Row became Watling Street. Before it came to be known as Budge Row, it once formed part of Watling Street, one of the Roman roads (Weinreb and Hibbert 107).
The first recorded mention of the street comes from a Bogerow
(Bebbington 63). Boge or Budge as it is now spelled, is lamb-skin
fur. Historical evidence suggests that this part of the city was the centre
of the London fur and skin trade; an Ordinance dated
(Bebbington 63). Stow confirms
this in his
the Skinners from Saint Marie Pellipers, or at the Axe, [moved] into Budge Row and Walbrooke, (Stow 1:81) and that the street is
so called of Budge Furre, and of Skinners dwelling there(Stow 1:250).
Apart from skinners, two churches stood in Budge Row
. The first was the parish church of St. Anthony, on the north side of the street. Stow writes that this church was lately reedified by Thomas Knowles Grocer, Maior, and by Thomas Knowles his sonne
who are both buried there (Stow 1:251). The second church, located on the south side of
the street at Cordwainer Street, was
called Aldemarie Church. It gained that name from the fact that until the
16th century when a new building was constructed, it had been the oldest
church dedicated to Saint Mary in London (Stow 1:251–52).
Today, the Skinners’ Hall is located in nearby Dowgate Hill (Bebbington 63).
