St. Bartholomew the Great
St. Bartholomew the Great was a church in Farringdon Without Ward on the south side of Long Lane, Smithfield. It was made a parish church at the Dissolution of the Monasteries and was declared a gift to the citizens of Londonfor relieving of the Poore
in 1546 (Stow 1633, sig. 2N5r). Under Mary I, the site and building were given to the Dominican order to be used as Blackfriars, St. Bartholomew’s before being restored under Elizabeth I.St. Bartholomew the Great is mentioned in the following documents:

Blackfriars (St. Bartholomew’s)
The third house of the Dominican friars (known in England as the Black friars) in London stood at the former Augustinian canons’ house at St. Bartholomew’s. With the return of Catholic worship under Mary I in 1553, two decades after the break with Rome, the city saw the restoration of monastic lands that had fallen into private hands after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The Black friars refounded their London friary in 1556. However, their renewed presence was short lived; the death of Mary and her archbishop, Reginald Pole, in 1558 heralded the end of royal support for the friary. By the end of 1559, the friars had left St. Bartholomew’s and would never return to London (Holder 57-60).Blackfriars (St. Bartholomew’s) is mentioned in the following documents:

Blackfriars (Holborn)
Standing just west of Holborn Bridge, the site that would become the original Blackfriars precinct was acquired by the Dominican friars (known in England as the Black friars) circa 1223 through a donation from Hubert de Burgh. Over the next forty years, the friary expanded westward to Shoe Lane and southward along the Fleet to Smallbridge Lane. By the 1270s, the site occupied 4 acres and contained a church, a chapter house, and one or two wings of accommodation. The friars left the Holborn friary in the 1280s to establish a new friary, Blackfriars (Farringdon Within), on a more prestigious site. The Holborn site was sold in 1286 to Henry de Lacy (Holder 1–26).Blackfriars (Holborn) is mentioned in the following documents:

The largest and wealthiest friary in England, Blackfriars was not only a religious institution but also a cultural, intellectual, and political centre of London. The friary housed London’s Dominican friars (known in England as the Black friars) after their move from the smaller Blackfriars precincts in Holborn. The Dominicans’ aquisition of the site, overseen by Robert Kilwardby, began in 1275. Once completed, the precinct was second in size only to St. Paul’s, spanning eight acres from the Fleet to St. Andrew’s Hill and from Ludgate to the Thames. Blackfriars remained a political and social hub, hosting councils and even parlimentary proceedings, until its surrender in 1538 pursuant to Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries (Holder 27–56).Blackfriars (Farringdon Within) is mentioned in the following documents:

Doctors’ Commons (Knightrider Street)
Formerly Mountjoy’s Inn, the Doctors’ Commons, Knightrider Street was the meeting place for the Doctors’ Commons,where they kept a common table and built up a precious library of foreign law books
(Baker 180). Eventually, the Doctors’ Commons, Knightrider Street housed five courts: the Court of Arches, the Prerogative Court, the Court of Faculties and Dispensations, the Consistory Court of the Bishop of London, and the High Court of Admiralty (Harben). Henry Harben notes that the building burned down in the Great Fire of 1666 and was subsequently rebuilt on the same site (Harben). The building was sold in 1865 after the Doctors’ Commons was dissolved (Baker 181).Doctors’ Commons (Knightrider Street) is mentioned in the following documents:

on the Agas map.Ludgate Hill is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Ludgate Street
According to Harben, Ludgate Street ran east-west from St. Paul’s Churchyard to about Old Bailey, though, the actual street probably stretched further west to the point where Ludgate Street became Fleet Street (Harben). It is often used synonymously with Ludgate Hill but MoEML understands Ludgate Hill to have been, rather, the raised portion of the larger Ludgate Street. A section of Ludgate Street was also called Bowyer Row,[so called] of Bowiers dwelling there in old time
(Stow 1598, sig. T1v).Ludgate Street is mentioned in the following documents:

Colechurch Street
Colechurch Street was located in the Parish of St. Olave, Old Jewry and ran north-south from Lothbury to Poultry (Harben). Harben mentions the possibility ofColechurchstrete
orColechurch Lane
being the former name of a joined together Coleman Street and Old Jewry in the 13th century (Harben). However, Stow identifies Colechurch Street with Old Jewry only, saying,Cole-church street, or Old Iewrie
and Carlin and Belcher’s 1270 map has aColechurchstrete
in place of Old Jewry withColemanstrete
labelled separately above it (Carlin and Belcher; Stow 1633, sig. 2B6r). Our Agas coordinates are based on the resulting assumption that Colechurch Street only covered the area of modern Old Jewry.Colechurch Street is mentioned in the following documents:

Farringdon Ward
Farringdon Ward is the name of the larger, single ward predating both Farringdon Within Ward and Farringdon Without Ward. This ward was divided by Parliament in the 17 of Richard II, creating the separate wards of Farringdon Within and Farringdon Without.Farringdon Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Farringdon Within Ward
Farringdon Within Ward shares parts of its eastern and southern borders with the western and northern boundaries of Castle Baynard Ward. This ward is calledWithin
orInfra
to differentiate it from Farringdon Without Ward and both wards take the name of William Faringdon, principle owner of Farringdon Ward, the greater ward that was separated into Farringdon Within Ward and Farringdon Without Ward in the 17 of Richard II.Farringdon Within Ward is mentioned in the following documents:

Distaff Lane
Distaff Lane was in Bread Street Ward. It is not to be confused with Great Distaff Street, the street which crossed the northernmost end of Distaff Lane. There is some discrepancy in the exact length of Distaff Lane between the Agas Map and the information in Survey of London. On the Agas Map, Distaff Lane (labelledDiſtaf la.
) appears to run south off Great Distaff Street, labelledMaidenhed lane,
terminating before it reaches Knightrider Street. Stow tells us, in his delineation of the bounds of Bread Street Ward, that Distaff Lanerunneth downe to Knightriders street, or olde Fishstreete
(Stow 1:345). Our map truncates Distaff Lane before Knightrider Street.Distaff Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Great Distaff Street
Great Distaff Street ran east-west from Friday Street to Old Change and was located in Bread Street Ward. The main structure of note along the street was Cordwainers’ Hall. It was also known asMayden lane
and is labelledMaidenhed lane
on the Agas map (Stow 1633, sig. 2L6r). According to Stow, the nameDistaff
was a corruption ofDistar Lane
but Harben and others have found this to be an error as the earliest form wasDistaue, not Distar
(Stow 1633, sig. 2L6r; Harben). Great Distaff Street is not to be confused with Distaff Lane, the lane which ran south out of Great Distaff Street toward Knightrider Street.Great Distaff Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Maiden Lane (Wood Street)
Maiden Lane (Wood Street) was shared between Cripplegate Ward, Aldersgate Ward, and Farringdon Within. It ran west from Wood Street, andoriginated as a trackway across the Covent Garden

Court of Arches
The Court of Arches was the highest court of appeal for ecclesiastical matters in the province of Canterbury and fell under the jurisdiction of the archbishop of Canterbury (Noorthuock 579-587). The Court of Arches was named after its location in St. Mary Le Bow, which wasbuilt over arches
(Baker 136). After the Great Fire of 1666, the Court of Arches often met at the Doctors’ Commons, Knightrider Street (Keene and Harding 199-212). For an accessible overview, see Wikipedia. An extensive archive of Court of Arches cases is held at the Lambeth Palace Library.This organization is mentioned in the following documents:

Doctors’ Commons
The Doctors’ Commons was a group of men from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge who practiced civil law (Baker 180). G.R. Elton claims that this society was formed in 1511 and was modelled after the Inns of Court (Elton 155). Sir John Baker claims that this society was already established in the fifteenth century by thedoctors of the Arches
(Baker 180). Encyclopaedia Britannica states that the society leased a building near Paternoster Row from 1565 until their dissolution in the nineteenth century; however, most scholars agree that the Doctors’ Commons moved from their Paternoster Row location to a building in Knightrider Street early in Elizabeth I’s reign (Doctors’ Commons,
Thornbury, Harben). A motion to dissolve the Doctors’ Commons was put forth in 1858 and by 1865 they had sold both their library and building (Baker 181). Most of the records surviving from the Doctors’ Commons are housed at the Lambeth Palace Library. For an accessible overview, see Wikipedia.This organization is mentioned in the following documents:

We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
