Conduit (Cornhill)

Agas Map

List documents mentioning Conduit (Cornhill)

Not labelled on the Agas map, the Conduit upon Cornhill is thought to have been located in the middle of Cornhill and opposite the north end of Change Alley and the eastern side of the Royal Exchange (Harben; BHO). Made of stone, it was built to bring fresh water from Tyburn to Cornhill.

As Stow writes, Conduit upon Cornhill was formerly the Tunn upon Cornhill, a prison for for night walkers, & other ſuſpitious perſons. In 1401, it was converted into a Ceſterne for ſweete water conueyed by pipes of Leade frō the towne of Tyborne, and was from thence forth called the conduite vpon Cornhill (Stow 149). It was destroyed in the Great Fire and not rebuilt.

Cornhill Ward

MoEML is aware that the ward boundaries are inaccurate for a number of wards. We are working on redrawing the boundaries. This page offers a diplomatic transcription of the opening section of John Stow’s description of this ward from his Survey of London.
Cornhill Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
Exchange Alley
Exchange Alley is mentioned in the following documents:

Royal Exchange

Located in Broad Street Ward and Cornhill Ward, the Royal Exchange was opened in 1570 to make business more convenient for merchants and tradesmen (Harben 512). The construction of the Royal Exchange was largely funded by Sir Thomas Gresham (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 718).
Royal Exchange is mentioned in the following documents:
Tyburn

Tyburn is best known as the location of the principal gallows where public executions were carried out from the late 12th century until the 18th (Drouillard, Wikipedia). It was a village to the west of the city, near the present-day location of Marble Arch (beyond the boundary of the Agas Map). Its name derives from a stream, and its significance to Stow was primarily as one of the sources of piped water for the city; he describes how
In the yeare 1401. this priſon houſe called the Tunne was made a Ceſterne for ſweete water conueyed by pipes of Leade frõ the towne of Tyborne, and was from thence forth called the conduite vpon Cornhill Gap in transcription. Reason: Editorial omission for reasons of length or relevance. Use only in quotations in born-digital documents.[…] (Stow 1598, Cornhill Ward.)
Tyburn is mentioned in the following documents:
Cornhill

Cornhill was a significant thoroughfare and was part of the cityʼs main major east-west thoroughfare that divided the northern half of London from the southern half. The part of this thoroughfare named Cornhill extended from St. Andrew Undershaft to the three-way intersection of Threadneedle, Poultry, and Cornhill where the Royal Exchange was built. The name Cornhill preserves a memory both of the cornmarket that took place in this street, and of the topography of the site upon which the Roman city of Londinium was built.
Cornhill is mentioned in the following documents:
