standard of timber with a cocke or cockes, deliuering fayre spring
water to the inhabitants, and is the wast of the water, seruing the
prisoners in Ludgate.
Next out of the high street turneth downe a lane, called the lit
tle Baylie, which runneth downe to the East ende of S. Georges
lane. The next is Seacoale lane, I thinke called Limeburners
lane, of burning their lime there with Seacole. For I reade in
recorde of such a lane to haue beene in the parish of S. Sepulcher,
and there yet remaineth in this lane an Alley, called Limeburners
Alley. Neere vnto this Seacoale lane in the turning towardes
Oldborne Conduit is Turne-againe lane, or rather as in a record
of the fift of Edward the third, Windagaine lane, for that it go
eth downe West to Fleete dike, from whence men must turne a
gaine the same way that they came, for there it is stopped. Then
the high stréete turneth downe Snor hill, to Oldborne Conduit,
and from thence to Oldborne bridge, beyond the which bridge on
the left hand is Shooe lane, by the which men passe from Oldborn
to Fleetestreete, by the Conduite there. In this Shooe lane
on the left hande is one olde house called Oldborne hall, it is now
letten out into diuers tenementes. On the other side at the ve
ry corner standeth the parish Church of S. Andrew, in the which
church or neare therevnto was sometime kept a Grammer schoole
as appeareth in an other place by a Pattent, made as I haue
shewed for the erection of schooles. There bee Monumentes in
this Church of an Earle of Southampton buried there Raph

Henry the third, in the yeare 1233. and the 17. of his raigne, who

Notwithstanding such of the Iewes or other Infidels as haue
inthis realme beene conuerted to christianity and baptized, haue béen
relieued there: for I find in Recorde, that one William Piers a
Iew that became a Christian, was baptized in the fift of Richard
the second, and had two pence the day allowed him during his life
by the saide king. On the West side sometime was an house
pertayning to the Prior of Necton Parke (a house of Chanons
in Lincolne shire) this was commonly called Hereflete Inne, and
was a Brewhouse, but now faire builded for the sixe Clearkes of
the Chauncerie, and standeth ouer against the saide house, called
the Rolles, and neare vnto the lane which now entreth Fickets
croft, or Fickets field. Then is Shire lane opening also into Fic
kets field, hard by the barres. On this North side of Fléetstréet,
in the yeare of Christ 1595. I obserued, that when the laborers
had broken vp the pauement, from against Chauncerie lanes end,
vp towards S. Dunstones church, and had digged foure foot déepe,
they found one other pauement of hard stone, more sufficient then
the first, and therefore harder to be broken, vnder the which they
found in the made ground, piles of timber, driuen very thicke and
almost close together the same being as blacke as pitch or coale,
and many of them rotten as earth, which prooueth that the ground
there (as sundry other places of the Cittie) haue beene a marish
or full of springes.
Now on the South side from Ludgate be faire builded

he sent for the maister of the Temple, and examined him straight

Brethren to be kept, he knew not how much there was of it, the
king demanded to haue the same deliuered, but it was answered
that the money being committed vnto their trust, could not be de
liuered without the licence of him that committed it, to Ecclesi

Iusticiar of the Exchequer vnto Hubert to require him to resigne
the money wholy into his handes, who answered that he would
gladly submit himselfe, and all his vnto the kinges pleasure, and
thereupon desired the knightes of the Temple in his behalfe to
present all the keyes vnto the king to doe his pleasure, with the
goodes which he had committed vnto them. Then the king com

Templars, in England, vpon heresie, and other Articles where
of they were accused, but denied all except one or two of them,
