Bricklayers’ Hall
The Bricklayers’ Hall was east of Billiter Lane and stood on the south side of the street running west from the water pump near Aldgate. This street was named Leadenhall Street in the seventeenth century but was considered part of Aldgate Street when Stow was writing. Stow mentions the hall only in passing in his survey, so he neglects the hall’s appearance and history (Stow). The hall was incorporated in 1568 but by the eighteenth century the Bricklayers had abandoned it. Thereafter, it was used as a synagogue by Dutch Jews (Harben).Bricklayers’ Hall is mentioned in the following documents:

Draper’s Hall was a livery company hall on the north side of Throgmorton Street in Broad Street Ward. On the Agas map, Drapers’ Hall appears as a large house with three round towers, thus resembling the architecture of Hampton Court Palace and some of the college gates at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Stow records that the hall was built by Sir Thomas Cromwell for his own use as a house. The Drapers bought the house from Henry VIII in 1543, the house having passed into the monarch’s possession after Cromwell’s execution in 1540.Drapers’ Hall is mentioned in the following documents:

(Harben 476). The site was demolished in 1798 and is[n]ow occupied as offices and business houses
(Harben 476).Pinners’ Hall is not to be confused with Plasterers’ Hall, which was formerly known asPinners Hall

Ringed Hall has a varied chain of ownership. Carlin and Belcher state that the hall was granted to Rewley Abbey in 1282 by the 2nd Earl of Cornwall and was then let out to tenants (Carlin and Belcher 84). Harben notes that during Edward III’s reign it belonged to Benedict de Folesham, and in 1541 Henry VIII gave the hall to Morgan Philip, alias Wolfe (Harben 504). In today’s London, the hall would sit at the corner of Great St. Thomas Apostle and Queen St. (Harben 504).Ringed Hall is mentioned in the following documents:

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:

Former Student Contributors
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.
