MoEML: Survey of London (1598): Queen Hithe Ward

286

NExt vnto Bredstréet Warde, on the South side
therof, is Quéen Hithe Ward,

so called of a wa
ter gate, or harborow for Boates, Lighters and
Barges, and was of olde time for shippes, at
what time, the timber bridge of London was
drawne vp, for the passage of them to the saide
Hithe, as to a principall strand for landing and
vnlading against the middest and hart of the
Citie. This Warde beginneth in the East, in Knightriders stréete,

on the South side thereof, at the East ende of the Parish church cal
led the holy Trinitie, and runneth West on the South side to a lane
called Lambert hill, which is the length of the Warde in Knightri
ders stréete, out of the which stréet are diuers Lanes, running South
to Thames stréete, and are of this Warde: the first is Trinitie
Lane,

which runneth downe by the West end of Trinitie Church.
Then is Spuren Lane,

or Sporners Lane, now called Huggen
Lane. Then Bredstréet hill. Then S. Mary Mounthaunt: out of the
which Lane, on the East side thereof, is one other Lane, turning
East, through S. Nicholas Olaues Church yard, to Bredstréete hill.
This Lane is called Finimore Lane or fiue foote Lane, because it is
but fiue foote in breadth at the West ende:

Finimore or
fiue foot lane.

In the middest of this
lane, runneth downe one other lane broader, South to Thames
stréete, I thinke the same to be called Desboorne Lane,

Desborne lane

for I reade
of such a Lane to haue bin in the parish of Mary Summerset, in the
two and twentieth yeare of Edward the 3. where there is saide to
lye betwéene the Tenement of Edward de Mountaoute Knight, on
the East part, and the tenement sometime pertaining to William
Gladwine on the West, one plot of ground, containing in length to
wards Thames stréete 25. foote &c.

Last of all, haue you Lambart hill Lane,

East side of Lambards hill, is wholely of this Warde: and the west
side, from the North end of the Black-smithes Hall (which is about
the middest of this Lane) vnto Thames Stréete. Then part of
Thames stréete, is also of this Warde, to wit, from a Cookes house
called the signe of King Dauid, thrée houses West, from the olde
Swan Brewhouse in the East, vnto Huntington house, ouer a
gainst Saint Peters Church in the West, neare vnto Powles
Wharffe. And on the land side from a Cookes house called the blew
Boore, to the West ende of Saint Peters Church, and vp Saint
Peters Hill, two houses North aboue the saide Church. And
these bee the boundes of this Warde: in which, are Parish
Churches seuen, Halles of Companies two, and other Orna
ments, as shall he shewed.

First, in Knightriders stréete, is the

Parish church
of the Trinity.

small Parish Church of
the holy Trinitie, very olde and in daunger of downe falling: col
lections haue béene made for the repairing thereof, but they will
not stretch so farre, and therefore it leaneth vpon proppes or stilts.
Monuments are therein none. Towards the West ende of
Knightriders stréete, is the

Parish church
of S. Nicholas
Colde Abey.

Parish Church of S. Nicholas Colde
Abbey, a comely Church, somewhat auncient, as appeareth by the
wayes raised thereabout: it hath béene called of many, Golden
Abbey, of some Colde Abbey, and so hath the most auncien
test writing: but I could neuer learne the cause why it should bee
so called, and therefore I will let it passe. There bee monuments in
this Church, of Andrew Awbery Grocer, Mayor, and Thomas
Fryar Fishmoonger, in the yeare 1351. who gaue to this Church
and parish one plot of ground, containing fiftie six foote in length,
and fortie thrée foote in breadth, at both endes to be a buriall place for
the dead of the said Parish, the twentie sixt of Edward the third. Also
Thomas Madefrey Clarke, and Iohn Pylot, gaue to the Wardens
of that Parish, one shop, and a house in Distar lane, for the continu
al repairing of the bodie of that church, the belles and Ornaments

to the Kings hands, by what meanes I haue not read, but it pertai
ned vnto the Quéene, and therefore was called Ripa Reginæ, the
Quéenes Banque, or Quéenes Hithe, and great profit thereof was
made to her vse, as may appeare by this which followeth.

King Henry the third, in the ninth of his Raigne,

Ships of the

commanded
the Constables of the Tower of London, to arrest the shippes of
the Cinque Ports on the riuer of Thames, and to compell
them to bring their corne to no other place but to the Quéenes Hithe
onely.

In the eleuenth of his raigne, hee charged the saide Consta
ble to destraine any fishe offered to be solde in any place of this cittie,
but at the Quéene Hithe. Moreouer, in twentie eight of the said
Kings raigne, an inquisition was made before William of Yorke,
Prouost of Beuerley, Henry of Bathe, and Hierome of Caxton,
Iustices Itenerants, sitting in the Tower of London, touching the
customes of Quéene Hithe, obserued in the yeare last, before the
warres, betwéene the King his father, and the Barons of England,
and of olde customes of other times, and what customes had béene
chaunged, at what time to Taxe and payment of all things com

gate of Guild Hall of the Merchants of Colleyne, and the Soke of
the Archbishop of Canterburye (for he had a house neare vnto the
Black Fryers) was not to be measured by any other quarter, then

After this, the Bayliffes of the saide Hithe complained, that since
the saide Recognision, fourtéene forraine shippes laden with Fish,
arriued at Bilnings Gate, which shippes should haue arriued at
the saide Hithe: And therefore it was ordered, that if any forraine
shippe laden with Fish, should in forme aforesaid, arriue elsewhere
then at this Hithe, it should bee at the Kings pleasure to amerce
them at 40. shillings. Notwithstanding, the shippes of the citizens
of London were at libertie to arriue where the owners would ap
point them.

After this, the saide Henry the third, confirmed the graunt of
Richard Earle of Cornwell,

thereof, concerning certaine exactions and demaunds pertaining

Thames Street

Thames Street was the longest street in early modern London, running east-west from the ditch around the Tower of London in the east to St. Andrew’s Hill and Puddle Wharf in the west, almost the complete span of the city within the walls.

Trinity Lane ran north-south between Old Fish Street (Knightrider Street) and Thames Street, between Garlick Hill and Huggin Lane, entirely in the ward of Queenhithe. On the Agas map, it is labelled Trinitie lane.
Trinity Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
Huggin Lane (Upper Thames Street)

Huggin Lane ran north-south between Thame Street and Knightrider Street. Although Stow mentions them separately, Stow’s descriptions of the positions of Huggin Lane and Pyellane suggest that they are the same street (Stow 1598, sig. T7v, U1v). Harben also lists Pyellane as a probable variant (Harben).
Huggin Lane (Upper Thames Street) is mentioned in the following documents:
Bread Street Hill

Bread Street Hill ran north-south between Old Fish Street and Thames Street.

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 (labelled Diſtaf la.) appears to run south off Great Distaff Street, labelled Maidenhed lane, terminating before it reaches Knightrider Street. Stow tells us, in his delineation of the bounds of Bread Street Ward, that Distaff Lane runneth 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:

Although it was a powerful economic force in the 15th and early 16th centuries, by the time of Elizabeth’s reign, piracy and economic sanctions had rendered the once great Steelyard obsolete (Lloyd 344-345).
The Steelyard is mentioned in the following documents:
Blackfriars (Farringdon Within)

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 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).
