The Thames
Perhaps more than any other geophysical feature, the Thames river has directly affected London’s growth and rise to prominence; historically, the city’s economic, political, and military importance was dependent on its riverine location. As a tidal river, connected to the North Sea, the Thames allowed for transportation to and from the outside world; and, as the longest river in England, bordering on nine counties, it linked London to the country’s interior. Indeed, without the Thames, London would not exist as one of Europe’s most influential cities. The Thames, however, is notable for its dichotomous nature: it is both a natural phenomenon and a cultural construct; it lives in geological time but has been the measure of human history; and the city was built around the river, but the river has been reshaped by the city and its inhabitants.The Thames is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Walbrook is mentioned in the following documents:
-
River Medway is mentioned in the following documents:

Queenhithe
Queenhithe is one of the oldest havens or harbours for ships along the Thames. Hyd is an Anglo-Saxon word meaninglanding place.

According to John Stow, the Boss of Billingsgate was a fountainof spring water continually running,
which was set into the wall of Boss Alley (Stow 1598, sig. M2v). This boss was the subject of an early modern poem, which personified both the Boss of Billingsgate and the London Stone. In this poem, the Boss is described as a fallen woman, who the London Stone marries (Bosse of Byllyngesgate sig. A5v). While the Boss of Billingsgate was located on the north side of Billingsgate Ward, its exact coordinates remain unknown and it is not labelled on the Agas map.Boss (Billingsgate) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Boss (Cripplegate)
The Boss of Cripplegate was located on the south end of the Almshouses of St. Giles (Cripplegate), just before Redcross Street becomes Forestreet. Carlin and Belcher state that the location was aBoss of water made by executors of Richard Whittington
(Carlin and Belcher 67).Boss (Cripplegate) is mentioned in the following documents:

Brook’s Wharf
Harben explains that[a]fter the dissolution of the monasteries [the wharf] was granted to Thomas Broke [and was] described as a great messuage in the parish of St. Michael Queenhithe
(Harben 111). However, prior to his ownership the wharf passed through many other hands and was known by aliases such asBockyng Wharffe
andDockynes Wharfe
; it was also referred to asBroke Wharffee
andBrookers Wharf
(Harben 111). Harben tells us that[t]here can be little doubt that these names commemorate the various owners, who held the wharf or wharves form time to time, as it was the common practice for these wharves to be designated by the names of their respective owners
(Harben 111).Brook’s Wharf is mentioned in the following documents:

Referred to as Brown’s Wharf in Harben, which records that the wharf was removed in 1827 (Harben).Browne’s Place and Key is mentioned in the following documents:

Ebbegate became such by 1147-1167 (Carlin and Belcher 73), and Stow tells us that Ebbgateis a common stayre on ye Thames, but the passage is very narrow by meanes of incrochments
(Stow 1:169).Ebbegate is mentioned in the following documents:

(Carlin and Belcher 73). -
Fleet
The Fleet, known asFleet River,
Fleet Ditch,
Fleet Dike,
and theRiver of Wells
due to the numerous wells along its banks, was London’s largest subterranean river (Stow 1598, sig. C4r). It flowed down from Hampstead and Kenwood ponds in the north, bisecting the Ward of Farringdon Without, as it wended southward into the Thames (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 298).Fleet is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Fleet Bridge Cistern
The Fleet Bridge Cistern, or theCistern at Fleet Bridge
was, according to Victor Belcher and Martha Carlin,Built in 1478 by inhabitants of Fleet Street for receipt of waste water, carried above ground over the bridge
(Carlin and Belcher 74). Stow records thata Sestern was added to the Standerd in Fleetstreete, and a Sestern was made at Fleetebridge, and one other without Cripplegate in the yeare, 1478
(Stow 1:17). The Fleet Street Conduit was made that same year (Harben 167).Fleet Bridge Cistern is mentioned in the following documents:

Great Conduit (Cheapside)
The Great Conduit in Westcheap, which began construction in 1245, conveyed fresh water to London. It carried the water supply from Tyburn to Cheapside Street in London, passing through Constitution Hill, the Mews at Charing Cross, the Strand, and Fleet Street on the way (Harben). It was fifty years in the making, and its completion was celebratedin triumphall manner
(Stow 1633, sig. C1r).Great Conduit (Cheapside) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Holborn Conduit is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Holy Well
James Bird’s Volume 8 of the Survey of London, Shoreditch, indicates that there were two wells on the property of Holywell Priory, one in the orchard and onein the middle of the inner court
(Bird 153-187). In a footnote, Bird indicates that the well in the orchard is most likely the one from which the priory and the district took its name (Bird 153-187n204). This is because Stow, in 1598, identifies Holy Well as beingmuch decayed and marred with filthinesse, purposely layd there, for the heighthening of the ground, for garden plots
and while it is possible that the orchard land was used for gardening plots, the inner court was never put to that purpose (Bird 153-187n204; Stow 1598, sig. B7v). By this reasoning, we assume that the well in the orchard of Holywell Priory is the one that bears the name Holy Well.Holy Well is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Horsepool
Also known as Smithfield Pond.Horsepool is mentioned in the following documents:
-
James Head is mentioned in the following documents:

On the Agas map, one can see two water cans on the ground just to the right of the conduit.Little Conduit (Cheapside) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Little Conduit (Stock Market) is mentioned in the following documents:

was in use at least by 1499 (Carlin and Belcher 80). The key was located just south of Petty Wales, between Watergate and Clares Key.Marowe Key is mentioned in the following documents:

Old Fish Street Conduit
Stow locates this conduit for Thames water variously on theporche
of St Mary Magdalen, Old Fish Street and in a wall to the north of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey (Stow 1598, sig. U7r; Stow 1598, sig. T8v). The conduit was made of stone and lead and its building was funded by Barnard Randolphfor the ease and com-moditie
of the Fishmongers’ Company and the other inhabitants of Old Fish Street (Stow 1598, sig. T8v). Agas map coordinates are based on location information found in Stow.Old Fish Street Conduit is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Sabbis Key
In 1516, the earliest mention of this site, it is said that John Sabbe constructed a dock and stairs into the Thames at his wharf called Sabbis Key (Harben 514). It is also stated that the key was[m]ade one of the Legal Quays by [an] Act of Parliament [in] 1559
(Harben 515). In today’s London, Custom House resides on the site (Harben 515).Sabbis Key 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.
