Monumentes there most to bee noted, are these: the parish
Church of S. Buttolph without Bishopsgate in a faire Church

Now without this Churchyard wall is a causeway leading
to a quadrant, called Petie Fraunce, of Frenchmen dwelling
there, and to other dwelling houses, lately builded on the banke of
the saide ditch by some citizens of London, that more regarded
their owne priuate gaine, then the common good of the Citie: for
by meanes of this causeway raised on the banke, and soylage of
houses, with other filthines cast into the ditch, the same is nowe
forced to a narrow channell, and almost filled vp with vnsauorie
things, to the daunger of impoysoning the whole citie.

Alderman and Isabell his wife, in the yere 1488. In the yere
1594. this Pulpit being old, was taken downe, and a new set vp:
and the Preachers face turned towardes the south, which
was before towardes the west, also a large house on the east side
of the saide Pulpit, was then builded for the gouernors and chil
dren of Christes Hospitall to sit in: and this was done of the
goodes of William Elkens Alderman, late deceased, but within
the first yere, the same house decaying, and like to haue fallen, was
againe with great cost repayred at the Cities charge. On the
east side of this Churchyarde lieth a large fielde of old time called
Lolesworth, now Spittle fielde: which aboute the yeare 1576.
was broken vp for clay to make bricke, in the digging whereof
many earthen pottes called Vrnæ, were found full of ashes, and of
brent bones of men, to wit of the Romaines that inhabited here:
for it was the custome of the Romaines to bren their dead, to put
their ashes in an vrna, and then to bury the same, with certaine
ceremonies in some field appointed for that purpose, neare vnto
their Citie: euery of these pots had in them with the ashes of the
dead, one peece of Copper money, with the inscription of the Em
Vespasian, some of Nero, of Anthonius Pius, of Troianus: and
others besides those vrnas, many other pots were there founde,
made of a white earth with long nockes, and handles, like to our
stone Iugges: these were emptie, but seemed to bee buried full of
some liquid matter long since consumed and soaked through: for
there were found diuers vials and other fashioned glasses, some
most cunningly wrought, such as I haue not seene the like, and
some of Christall, all which had water in them, nothing differing
in clearenes, tast, or sauour from common spring water: some of
these glasses had oyle in them very thicke, and earthie in sauour,
some were supposed to haue balm in them, but had lost the vertue:
many of those pots and glasses were broken in cutting of the clay:
so that few were taken vp whole: there were also found diuers di
shes and cups of a fine red colored earth, which shewed outwardly
such a shining smothnesse, as if they had beene of curral, those had
in the bottomes Romaine letters printed, there were also lampes
of white earth artificially wrought with diuers antiques aboute
them, some three or foure Images, made of white earth, aboute a
span long, each of them: one I remember was of Pallas, the rest I
haue forgotten, I my selfe haue reserued amongst diuers of those
antiquities there found, one pot of white earth very small, not ex
ceeding the quantitie of a quarter of a wine pint, made in shape
of a Hare, squatted vpon her legs, and betweene her eares is the
mouth of the pot: there hath also beene found in the same fielde
diuers coffins of stone, contayning the bones of men: these I sup
pose to be the burials of some especiall persons, in time of the Bri
tons, or Saxons, after that the Romaines had left to gouern here:
moreouer there were also found the sculs and bones of men with
out coffins, or rather whose coffines (being of great timber)
were consumed: diuers great nailes of iron were
as are vsed in the wheeles of shod cartes, being each of them as
bigge as a mans finger, and a quarter of a yeard long, the heades
two inches ouer, those nayles were more wondred at then the
rest of thinges there found, and many opinions of men were vtte
red of them, namely that the men there buried were murdered by
driuing those nayles into their heads, a thing vnlikelie, for a smaler
crete place would lightly be imployed for their buriall. But to set
downe what I haue obserued, concerning this matter, I there be
helde the bones of a man lying as I noted, the heade North, the
feete South, and round about him, as thwart his head along both
his sides, & thwart his feete, such nayles were found, wherefore I
coniectured them to bee the nayles of his Coffin, which had béene
a trough cut out of some great tree, and the same couered with a
planke, of a greate thicknesse, fastened with such nayles: and
therefore I caused some of the nayles to be reached vp to me, and
found vnder the broade heads of them, the old wood, skant turned
into dust or earth, but still retayning both the grane, and the pro
per colour, of these nayles with the wood vnder the head thereof,
I reserued one as also the nether iaw bone of the man, the teeth
being very greate, sound and fast fixed, which (amongst other ma
ny monumentes there found) I haue yet to shew: but the nayle ly
ing drie is now by skaling greatly wasted. And thus much for

And first to begin on the left hand of Bishopsgate streete, from

London, for two Chaplens to be kept in the Chapple of S. Ma

of Henry the sixt, the first of these houses towardes the North &
against the wall of the Citie, was sometime a large Inne or court
called the Wrastlers (of such a signe) and the last in the high stréet
towardes the South, was sometime also a fayre Inne called the
Angell of such a signe: amongst these saide Tenementes was on
the same streete side a fayre Entry or Court to the common hall
of the saide parish Clarkes,
number, adioyning for poore parish Clarkes, and their wiues,
their widdowes, such as were in greate yeares not able to labour.
One of these by the saide Brotherhoode of parish Clarkes was al
lowed sixeteene pence the weeke, the other six had each of them
nine pence the weeke, according to the pattent thereof graunted.
raigne of Edward the sixt, the saide Hall with the other buildinges
there, was giuen to Sir Robert Chester a knight of Cambridge
shier, against whome the parish Clarkes commencing suite, in
the raigne of Queene Marie, and being like to haue preuailed, the
saide Sir Robert Chester pulled downe the hall, sold the Timber,
stone, and lead, and thereupon the suite was ended. The Almes
houses remaine in the Queenes handes, and people are there pla

A low-lying marshy area just northeast of Moorgate and on the way to the Curtain, Moorfields was home to a surprising range of activities and accompanying cultural associations in early modern London. Beggars and the mentally ill patients of neighbouring Bethlehem Hospital often frequented the area. Some used the public space to bleach and dry linen, and the Honorable Artillery Company also used it as an official training ground. Moorfields was even a popular suburban destination for ice skating when its water froze during the winter. Moorfields was generallyfull of noysome waters
(Stow 2:77) until 1605–1607, when it was successfully drained, levelled, and beautified with tree-lined pedestrian pathways.

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.
