Then East from the Curriers Row, is
a long and high wall of stone, inclosing
the North side of a large garden, adjoy

reignes of King Henry the eighth, and
of Edward the sixth, by Sir William Pow

sometimes a faire foot way,
the west end of the Augustine Friers
Church straight North, and opened
somewhat VVest from Alhallowes
Church against London wall, towards
Mooregate, which foot-way had gates
at either end, locked up every night;

This great house adjoyning to the
Garden aforesaid, stretcheth to the
North corner of Broadstreet, and then
turneth up Broadstreet, all that side, to
and beyond the East end of the said Fri
ers Church. It was builded by the said
Lord Treasurer, in place of Augustine
Friers house, cloyster, and gardens, &c.
The Friers Church hee pulled not
downe, but the west end thereof, inclo
sed from the Steeple and Quire, was
in the yeere 1550. granted to the Dutch
Nation in London, to be their Preaching
place. The other part, namely, the
Steeple, Quire, and side Iles to the
Quire adjoyning, he reserved to house
hold uses, as for stowage of corne, coale,
and other things; his sonne and heire,
Marquesse of Winchester,1 sold the Monu
ments of Noblemen (there buried) in
great number, the paving stone, and
whatsoever, (which cost many thou
sands) for one hundred pounds, and in
place thereof made faire stabling for
horses. He caused the lead to be taken
from the roofes, and laid tile in place;
which exchange proved not so profita
ble as he looked for, but rather to his
disadvantage.

of ground left for a Garden, hee caused
the pales of the Gardens adjoyning to
the North part thereof, on a sudden to
be taken downe, 22. foot to be measu
red forth-right into the North of every
mans ground, a line there to be drawn,
a trench to be cast, a foundation laid,
and an high bricke wall to be builded.
My Father had a Garden there, & there
was a house standing close to his South
pale: this house they loosed from the
ground, and bare upon Rowlers into my
Fathers Garden 22. foot, ere my Father
heard thereof: no warning was given
him, nor other answer, (when he spake
to the surveyers of that worke) but that
their Master, Sir Thomas, commanded
them so to doe: no man durst goe to
argue the matter, but each man lost his
Land; and my Father paid his whole
rent, which was 6. shillings 8. pence
the yeere, for that halfe which was left.
Thus much of mine owne knowledge
have I thought good to note, that the
sudden rising of some men, causeth
them to forget themselves.

of England, &c. This house being fini
shed, and having some reasonable plot
of ground left for a Garden, hee caused
the pales of the Gardens adjoyning to
the North part thereof, on a sudden to
be taken downe, 22. foot to be measu
red forth-right into the North of every
mans ground, a line there to be drawn,
a trench to be cast, a foundation laid,
and an high bricke wall to be builded.
My Father had a Garden there, & there
was a house standing close to his South
pale: this house they loosed from the
ground, and bare upon Rowlers into my
Fathers Garden 22. foot, ere my Father
heard thereof: no warning was given
him, nor other answer, (when he spake
to the surveyers of that worke) but that
their Master, Sir Thomas, commanded
them so to doe: no man durst goe to
argue the matter, but each man lost his
Land; and my Father paid his whole
rent, which was 6. shillings 8. pence
the yeere, for that halfe which was left.
Thus much of mine owne knowledge
have I thought good to note, that the
sudden rising of some men, causeth
them to forget themselves.

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.
