Broken Wharf Mansion

Established in 1259 and owned by Hugh Bigod, Broken Wharf Mansion was once a wharf site (Carlin and Belcher 67). In 1296 the site was owned by Roger Bigod and houses and a garden were added (Carlin and Belcher 67). From 1316 onward, the site was held by [the] earl of Norfolk and his descendants (Carlin and Belcher 67-8). Lastly, in 1405 an inn and 8 shops [were] on site (Carlin and Belcher 68).
This location has been added to the MoEML gazetteer on the authority of Carlin and Belcher’s gazetteer of 1520 London.
