Candlewright streete, and through the same
downe to the North end of Suffolke lane, on
the south side, and downe that lane by the west

cheape is so called of the market there kept, in the East parte of
the city, as West cheape is a market so called of being in the west.
This East cheape is now a flesh market of Butchers there
dwelling, on both sides of the street, it had sometime also Cookes
mixed amongst the Butchers, and such other as sold victuails rea
die dressed of all sorts. For of old time when friends did meet, and
were disposed to bee merie, they went not to dine and suppe in Ta
uernes, for they dressed not meates to be sold, but the cookes, where
they called for meate what them liked, which they alwayes found
readie dressed at a reasonable rate, as I haue before shewed. In
the yeare 1410. the 11. of Henry the 4. vpon the euen of S. Iohn
Baptist, the kinges sonnes, Thomas, and Iohn being in East
cheape at supper, (or rather at breakefast, for it was betwixt 2. and
3. of the clocke after midnight) a great debate happened between
their men and other of the court, which lasted one houre, euen till
the Mayor and Sheriffes with other cittizens appeased the same:
for the which afterwards the said Mayor Aldermen and Sheriffes
were sent for to answere before the king, his sonnes and diuers
Lords, being highly moued against the cittie. At which time
William Gascoyne, chiefe Iustice required the Mayor and Al
dermen, for the citizens, to put them in the Kings grace: whereun
to they answered that they had not offended, but (according to the
law) had done their best in stinting debate, and maintayning of
the peace: vpon which answere the king remitted all his ire, and
dismissed them. And to proue this Eastcheape, to be a place reple
nished with cookes, it may appeare by a song called London
raigne of Henry the fift, in the person of a cuntreyman comming
to London, and trauelling through the same: In westcheape (saith
the song) he was called on to buy fine lawne, Paris thread, cotton
Umple, and other linnen clothes and such like (he speaketh of no
silkes) In Cornehill to buy olde apparel, and houshold stuffe, where
he was forced to buy his owne hoode, which hee had lost in West
minster hall: in Candlewright street Drapers profered him cheap
cloth, in Eastcheape the cookes cryed hotte ribbes of beefe rosted,
pyes well baked, and other victuailes: there was clattering of
pots, harpe, pipe, and sawtry, yea by cocke, nay by cocke, for other
greater oathes were spared: some sang of Ienken and Iulian &c.
all which melodie liked well the passenger, but he wanted money
to abide by it, and therefore gat him into Grauesend barge and
home into Kent. Candlewright or Candlewicke street tooke
that name (as may be supposed) eyther of Chaundlers or makers of
candles, both of waxe and tallow: for Candlewright is a maker of
candles, or of Wéeke which is the cotton or yearne thereof: or o
therwise Wike, which is the place where they vse to work them,
as Scalding wike by the stockes market was called of the Powl
ters scalding and dressing their powltry there: and in diuers coun
tries, Dayrie houses or cottages, wherein they make butter and
cheese, are vsually called Wickes. There dwelled also of olde
time diuers Weauers of woollen clothes, brought in by Edward
the third. For I reade that in the 44. of his raigne the weauers
brought out of Flaunders, were appointed their meetings to be in
the churchyarde of S. Laurence Poultney, and the Weauers of
Brabant in the churchyard of S. Mary Sommerset. There were
then in this cittie weauers of diuers sortes. to wit, of Drapery, of
Tapery, & Naperie. These weauers of Candlewright stréet be
ing in short time worne out, their place is now possessed by rich
Drapers sellers of woollen cloth, &c. On the North side of this
warde, at the west end of East cheape haue ye S. Clements lane,
a part whereof on both sides is of Candlewike stréet ward, to wit
somewhat North beyond the parish church of S. Clement in East
cheape. This is a small church, void of monuments, other then of
Frauncis Barnam Alderman, who deceased 1575. and of Bene
lane for the most part on both sides of this ward, almost to S. Ni
cholas church. Then is Abchurch lane, which is on both the sides,
almost wholly of this ward, The special character yͤ (LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH LATIN SMALL LETTER E ABOVE) does not display on all browsers and has been replaced by its simplified form.ye parish church there (called of S. Ma
rie Abchurch, Apechurch, or Upchurch, as I haue read it) standeth

it is a faire church, and hath the monuments of Iohn Long Es

at the East, is S. Nicholas lane which lane, is almost wholly of
this ward, on both sides downe towards Thamestréete, to a wel
or pump there, On the East side of this lane is crooked lane afore
said by S. Michaels church, towards new fishstréet. One the most
ancient house in this lane is called the leaden porch, and belonged
somtime to Sir Iohn Merston knight: the 1. of Edward the 4.
The parish church of this S. Michaels was somtime but a smal &
homely thing, standing vpon part of that ground, wherein now
standeth the parsonage house: and the ground there about was a
filthy plot, by reason of the butchers in East chepe, who made the
same their Laystall. Iohn Loueken stockfishmonger Maior buil
ded in the same ground this faire church of S. Michaell and was
there buried in the quire, vnder a faire tombe with the Images of
him, and his wife in Alabaster: the said church hath béen since in
creased with a new quire and side chaples by Sir William Wal
worth stockfishmonger Mayor, somtime seruant to the foresaid
Iohn Loueken, also the tombe of Loueken was remoued and a
flat stone of grey marble garnished with plates of copper layde on
him as it yet remaineth in the body of the church: this William
Walworth is reported to haue slaine Iack Straw in Smithfield,
and there to haue béen therefore knighted by the king, but that is
not trew, for Iack Strawe being afterward taken, was first ad
iudged by the said mayor, and then executed by the losse of his head
in Smithfield, howbeit true it is that this William Walworth be

with his dagger, but hurt him not, by reason he was well armed:
the Mayor hauing receyued his stroke, drew his basiliarde, and
grieuously wounded Wat in the neck, and withal gaue him a great
blow on the head: in the which conflict an Esquire of the kinges
house, called Iohn Cauendish drew his sword, and wounded Wat
twise or thrise euen to the death: and Wat spurring his horse, cried
to the commons to reuenge him: the horse bare him about 80. foot
from the place, and there he fell downe halfe dead, and by and by
they which attended on the king enuironed him about, so as hee
was not seene of his company: many of them thrust him in in di
uers places of his bodie, and drew him into the Hospitall of S. Bar
tholomew, from whence againe the Mayor caused him to bee
drawne into Smithfield, and there to be beheaded. In rewarde of
this seruice, (the people being dispersed) the king commanded the
Mayor to put a Basenet on his head, and the Mayor requesting
why he should so do, the king answered, he being much bound vn
to him would make him knight: the Mayor
was neither worthy nor able to take such estate vpon him, for hee
was but a Marchant & had to liue by his marchandise
withstanding the king made him to put on his Basenet, and then
with a sword in both his hands he strongly strake him on the neck
as the manner was then, and the same day hee made thrée other
citizens knights, for his sake in the same place:

It hath also beene and is nowe growne to a common
opinion,that in reward of this seruice done, by the said William Walworth
against the rebell. King Richard added to the armes of this Cit
tie (which was argent, a plaine crosse Gulas) a sword or dagger,
(for so they terme it) whereof I haue read no such record, but ra
ther that which soundeth to the contrary: For I finde that in the
fourth yeare of Richard the second in a full assembly made in the
vpper chamber of the Guildhall, summoned by this VVilliam
Walworth, then Mayor, as well of Aldermen as of the common
counsaile in euery ward,

it was there by common consent agreed and ordayned, that the old

vnapt, & vncomely, for the honor of the city, should be broken, & one
other new should be had, which the said

made artificially, & honorable for the exercise of the said office ther
after in place of the other: in which new seale, besides the images
of Peter, and Paule, which of olde were rudely engrauen, there
should be vnder the feet of the said images, a shield of the armes of
the said cittie perfectly graued, with two Lyons supporting the
same with two sergeants of arms, an other parte, one & two taber
nacles, in which aboue should stand two angels, between whom
aboue the said images of Peter and Paule shall be set the glorious
Uirgine: this being done, the old seale of the Office was deliuered
to Richard Odiham Chamberlaine, who brake it, and in place
thereof, was deliuered the new seale to the said Mayor to vse in his
office, of maioraltie, as occasion should require. This new seale see
meth to be made before W. Walworth was knighted, for he is not
here intituled Sir, as afterwardes he was: and certaine it is that
the same new seale then made, is now in vse and none other in that
office of the Maioraltie: which may suffice to answere the former
fable, without shewing of any euidence sealed with the olde seale,
which was the crosse and sword as now &c.

Locations

Candlewick Street Ward
Candlewick Street Ward is west of Bridge Within Ward. Its main street is Candlewick Street (Stow 1633, sig. X3v).Candlewick Street Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Candlewick Street
Candlewick, Candlewright, or, later, Cannon Street, ran east-west from Walbrook Street in the west to the beginning of Eastcheap at its eastern terminus. Candlewick Street became Eastcheap somewhere around St. Clements Lane, and led into a great meat market (Stow 1:217). Together with streets such as Budge Row, Watling Street, and Tower Street, which all joined into each other, Candlewick Street formed the main east-west road through London between Ludgate and Posterngate.Candlewick Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Eastcheap
Eastcheap Street ran east-west, from Tower Street to St. Martin’s Lane. West of New Fish Street/Gracechurch Street, Eastcheap was known asGreat Eastcheap.
The portion of the street to the east of New Fish Street/Gracechurch Street was known asLittle Eastcheap.
Eastcheap (Eschepe or Excheapp) was the site of a medieval food market.Eastcheap is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Suffolk Lane
According to Stow, Suffolk Lane ran north-south between Candlewick Street and Thames Street. Our Agas coordinates are based on Stow, who writes that it was positioned between Bush Lane and St. Laurence Lane. Such a lane, though drawn, is not labelled on the Agas map. The Agas map position relative to St. Laurence Poultney Churchyard of this unlabelled lane also accords with Stow’s account of Suffolk Lane. Suffolk Lane is marked on the 1520 map as extending north from Wolsies Lane (A Map of Tudor London, 1520). However, its position on that map does not align with Stow’s account of its position with respect to the St. Laurence Poultney Churchyard.We are awaiting further confirmation of this street’s position.Suffolk Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Laurence Poultney Churchyard is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cheapside Market
In the middle ages, Westcheap was the main market west of Walbrook, so called to distinguish it from Eastcheap, the market in the east. By Stow’s time, the term Westcheap had fallen out of use in place of Cheapside Market. Stow himself, however, continued to use the term to distinguish the western end of Cheapside Street.Cheapside Market is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cook’s Row is mentioned in the following documents:
-
London is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cornhill
Cornhill was a significant thoroughfare and was part of the cityʼs main major east-west thoroughfare that divided the northern half of London from the southern half. The part of this thoroughfare named Cornhill extended from St. Andrew Undershaft to the three-way intersection of Threadneedle, Poultry, and Cornhill where the Royal Exchange was built. The nameCornhill
preserves a memory both of the cornmarket that took place in this street, and of the topography of the site upon which the Roman city of Londinium was built.Note: Cornhill and Cornhill Ward are nearly synonymous in terms of location and nomenclature - thus, it can be a challenge to tell one from the other. Topographical decisions have been made to the best of our knowledge and ability.Cornhill is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Westminster Hall
Westminster Hall isthe only surviving part of the original Palace of Westminster
(Weinreb and Hibbert 1011) and is located on the west side of the Thames. It is located on the bottom left-hand corner of the Agas map, and is labelled asWeſtmynſter hall.
Originally built as an extension to Edward the Confessor’s palace in 1097, the hall served as the setting for banquets through the reigns of many kings.Westminster Hall is mentioned in the following documents:

in early modern London, located south of Poultry, north of Bucklersbury, and west of Walbrook Street in Cornhill Ward (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). The building of the Stocks Market was commissioned by Henry le Wales in 1283 and, according to the editors of The London Encyclopedia, is named after thethe only fixed pair of stocks in the city
(Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). It was destroyed in the Great Fire, rebuilt, and then replaced in 1739 by the Mansion House, which is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London.Stocks Market is mentioned in the following documents:

Nicholas Lane
Nicholas Lane, or, as Stow called it, St. Nicholas Lane, ran north-south from Lombard Street to Candlewick Street. It was probably named for St. Nicholas Acon, which stood on the lane. Nicholas Lane still survives in modern London, although it is now interrupted by King William Street.Nicholas Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Nicholas Acon
St. Nicholas Acon was located in Langbourn Ward, its parish extending into Candlewick Street Ward (Harben 437). While it was not depicted on the Agas map, Prockter and Taylor note that St. Nicholas Aconstood on the west side of St. Nicholas Lane towards the northern end
(Prockter and Taylor 51). According to Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay,Acons
is possibly derived fromHaakon,
the name of one of the benefactors (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 802).St. Nicholas Acon is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Abchurch Lane
Abchurch Lane runs north-south from Lombard Street to Candlewick Street. The Agas Map labels itAbchurche lane.

At the time, it was the main thoroughfare to London Bridge (Sugden 191). It ran on the boundary between Bridge Within Ward on the west and Billingsgate Ward on the east. It is labelled on the Agas map asNew Fyſhe ſtreate.
Variant spellings includeStreet of London Bridge,
Brigestret,
Brugestret,
andNewfishstrete
(Harben 432; BHO).New Fish Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Leaden Porch is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Smithfield
Smithfield was an open, grassy area located outside the Wall. Because of its location close to the city centre, Smithfield was used as a site for markets, tournaments, and public executions. From 1123 to 1855, the Bartholomew’s Fair took place at Smithfield (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 842).Smithfield is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Bartholomew’s Hospital
According to Stow, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital was located on the west side of Smithfield in Farringdon Without Ward. Originally a religious hospital, it was founded by its first prior, Rahere, in 1102 (Stow 1598, sig. X1r).

-
Beachamp’s Inn is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Martin Orgar
The church of St. Martin Orgar, named for Dean Orgar who gave the church to the canons, has been wrongly located by the maker of the Agas map. The church is drawn in Bridge Ward Within, south of Crooked Lane and west of New Fish Street on St. Michael’s Lane. However, the church was actually located one block northwest in Candlewick Street Ward, on the east side of St. Martin’s Lane just south of Candlewick Street.St. Martin Orgar is mentioned in the following documents:
-
