Stow describes how Foster Lane lies almost wholy
in Aldersgate Ward, but the northernmost section serves as a boundary for Cripplegate Ward and Farringdon Within Ward (Stow). It was known to Stow as both Foster Lane and Faster Lane. Its name is a corruption of Vedast
after the Church of St. Vedast, which is on its south-eastern end (Harben). Other landmarks included: St. Leonard’s Church and Goldsmiths Hall, and a proper house, but not large
(Stow; Harben).
Foster Lane survives in modern London.
