¶Variant Toponyms listed by Carlin and Belcher
This document lists the variant toponyms listed in Martha Carlin and Victor Belcher’s
Gazetteer to the c.1270 and c.1520 Maps with Historical Notes
(1989). The variants are grouped according to the MoEML XML:id and authority name
for the place. Where MoEML’s authority name differs
from the headword in Carlin and Belcher, we include the headword among the variants.
Note that this finding aid is not
an edition of Carlin and Belcher’s gazetteer, but rather a different way of capturing
key data they have compiled for their gazetteer.
Our main aim in capturing the variant toponyms in tabular form here is to populate
the MoEML gazetteer
dynamically with all of these variants. Our own gazetteer is designed for use in NLP
applications to scan large corpora for toponyms.
Ingesting Carlin and Belcher’s aggregation of toponymic variants makes our gazetteer
more exhaustive.
See also our cross-indices to Pantzer,
Ekwall, and Sugden.
Carlin and Belcher include the dates of the sources in which they found each variant.
We have not captured the dates,
but encourage users to refer to Carlin and Belcher’s excellent work for further information.
Their gazetteer is
helpfully available in three downloadable PDF files; the item will download when you

the new fishmarket,
in old records, and a few, similar to the above, which seem to refer to a street of this name in the neighbourhood of Old Fish Street. Perhaps some portion of Old Fish Street was so named.

Stationers’ Hall (St. Paul’s)
Beginning in 1554 until 1611, The Stationers’ Hall near St. Peter’s College Rents functioned as the second headquarters for the Stationers’ Company, following their occupation of the Stationer’s Hall (Milk Street) and preceding their occupation of the Avergabenny House on Wood Street starting in 1611. The hall was located near St. Paul’s Cathedral and was just north of the The Deanery, adjacent to the courtyard and St. Peter’s College Rents. According to Cyprian Blagden,[A] good deal of money was spent to make [the building] suitable for its new functions,
but the move gave the Stationers’ Company an appropriate locationin the very centre of the area which for so long was associated with the buying and selling of books
(Blagden 19).Stationers’ Hall (St. Paul’s) is mentioned in the following documents:

According to Stow, St. Giles Vicarage, Cripplegate was within St. Giles (Cripplegate) Parish and stood on the site of the original St. Giles (Cripplegate). It is not marked on the Agas map. Our Agas coordinates are based on the 1520 map (A Map of Tudor London, 1520).St. Giles Vicarage (Cripplegate) is mentioned in the following documents:

(Stow 130).St. Mary de Barking is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bethlehem Hospital
Although its name evokes the pandemonium of the archetypal madhouse, Bethlehem (Bethlem, Bedlam) Hospital was not always an asylum. As Stow tells us, Saint Mary of Bethlehem began as aPriorie of Cannons with brethren and sisters,
founded in 1247 by Simon Fitzmary,one of the Sheriffes of London
(Stow 1:164). We know from Stow’s Survey that the hospital, part of Bishopsgate ward (without), resided on the west side of Bishopsgate Street, just north of St. Botolph without Bishopsgate (Stow 1:165).Bethlehem Hospital is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Olave (Hart Street)
The church of St. Olave, Hart Street is found on the south side of Hart Street and the northwest corner of Seething Lane in Tower Street Ward. It has been suggested that the church was founded and built before the Norman conquest of 1066 (Harben). Aside from mentioning the nobility buried in St. Olave’s, Stow is kind enough to describe the church asa proper parrish
(Stow). Samuel Pepys is buried in this church.St. Olave (Hart Street) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Olave (Silver Street)
According to Stow, St. Olave (Silver Street) was a church on the corner of Silver Street and Noble Street at the western edge of Aldersgate Ward. Stow writes that the church wasa small thing, and without any note-worthie monuments
(Stow 1598, sig. K3v). It was destroyed in the Great Fire and was not rebuilt (Carlin and Belcher 91).St. Olave (Silver Street) is mentioned in the following documents:

Stephens Lane
Now known as Churchyard Alley, Stephen’s Lane was most likely named forStephen Lucas, stockfishmonger, who was a taxpayer in Bridge ward in 1332Gap in transcription. Reason: The text has been abridged or truncated by an editor for some reason.[…] and whose will was enrolled in 1349
(Ekwall 131). With regard to the toponomical history of the site, Eilert Ekwall notes that the former name, Chirchhaw Lane, stems froman old word for churchyard, found for instance in Chaucer
(Ekwall 131). Stephen’s Lane ran north-to-south from Stockfishmonger Row, slightly to the east of the Fishmongers’ Hall.Stephens Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Suffolk Lane
According to Stow, Suffolk Lane ran north-south between Candlewick Street and Thames Street. Our Agas coordinates are based on Stow, who writes that it was positioned between Bush Lane and St. Laurence Lane. Such a lane, though drawn, is not labelled on the Agas map. The Agas map position relative to St. Laurence Poultney Churchyard of this unlabelled lane also accords with Stow’s account of Suffolk Lane. Suffolk Lane is marked on the 1520 map as extending north from Wolsies Lane (A Map of Tudor London, 1520). However, its position on that map does not align with Stow’s account of its position with respect to the St. Laurence Poultney Churchyard.We are awaiting further confirmation of this street’s position.Suffolk Lane is mentioned in the following documents:

Wolsies Lane is mentioned in the following documents:

Trig Lane

The Wall
Originally built as a Roman fortification for the provincial city of Londinium in the second century C.E., the London Wall remained a material and spatial boundary for the city throughout the early modern period. Described by Stow ashigh and great
(Stow 1:8), the London Wall dominated the cityscape and spatial imaginations of Londoners for centuries. Increasingly, the eighteen-foot high wall created a pressurized constraint on the growing city; the various gates functioned as relief valves where development spilled out to occupy spacesoutside the wall.
The Wall is mentioned in the following documents:

Warwick’s Inn is mentioned in the following documents:

Watling Street
Watling Street ran east-west between St. Sythes Lane in Cordwainer Street Ward and Old Change in Bread Street Ward. It is visible on the Agas map under the labelWatlinge ſtreat.
Stow records that the street is also commonly known asNoble Street
(Stow 1598, sig. O4v). This should not lead to confusion with Noble Street in Aldersgate Ward. There is an etymological explanation for this crossover of names. According to Ekwall, the nameWatling
ultimately derives from an Old English word meaningking’s son
(Ekwall 81-82). Watling Street remains distinct from the Noble Street in Aldersgate Ward.Watling Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
West Fish Market
Ekwall notes that[a]nother name-form [for Old Fish Street] is Westpiscaria
;Piscaria
orPisconaria
meaningthe Fish-Market
and theWest-
affix being adistinction from the fish-market [on] [the London Bridge]
(Ekwall 74). Carlin and Belcher suggest that Old Fish Street may have been called, in 1252,the west fish market
(Carlin and Belcher 82).West Fish Market is mentioned in the following documents:

Whitecross Street is mentioned in the following documents:
