Boss (Cripplegate)

The Boss of Cripplegate was located on the south end of the Almshouses of St. Giles (Cripplegate), just before Redcross Street becomes Forestreet. Carlin and Belcher state that the location was a Boss of water made by executors of Richard Whittington (Carlin and Belcher 67).
This location has been added to the MoEML gazetteer on the authority of Carlin and Belcher’s gazetteer of 1520 London.
