Now for antiquities there, first is Buckles berie, so

mannor, and tenementes pertayning to one Buckle, who there
dwelled, and kept his courts. This Mannor is supposed to be the
great stone building, yet in parte remaining on the south side the

a signe hanged out neare the gate thereof. This Mannor or great
house hath of long time béene diuided and letten out into many te

brooke did lie open, barges were rowed out of the Thames, or to

ende of this lane, is the Parish church of S, Mary Colechurch,
so named of one Cole that builded it, this church is builded vp
pon a vault aboue ground, so that men are forced to ascend vp ther
unto by certaine steps. I finde no monumentes of this church,
more then that Henry the fourth graunted licence to VVilliam
Marshall and others to found a Brotherhoode of S. Katheren
therein, because Thomas Becker, & S. Edmond the Archbishop
were baptized there. Next to that is Mercers Chappell, some
time an Hospitall intituled of S. Thomas of Acon, or Acars near
to the great Conduite in Cheape, for a Maister and Brethren,
militia hospitalis, &c. saieth the recorde of Edwarde the thirde, the
14. yeare, it was founded by Thomas Fitz the balde de heily,
and Agnes his wife, sister to Thomas Becket, in the raigne of
Henry the second, they gaue to the maister and brethren the lands
with the appurtenances, that sometime were Gilbert Beckets
father of the saide Thomas, in the which he was borne, there to
make a church: there was also a Charnell and a Chappell ouer it,
of S. Nicholas and S. Stephen, this Hospitall was valued to dis

Before this Chappell towardes the streete, there was builded

Adioyning to this chappell on south side was sometime a fayre

thence thrée Carriers with them, but neuer returned. This libra

William Burie, on the other side: it is now lofted through, and
made a store house for clothes. Southwest from this Guildhall,
is the faire parish church of S. Laurence called in the Iunie, because
of olde time since the raigne of William Conqueror (that first

Iewes at that time banished were 15060. persons whose houses
being sold, the king made of them a mightie masse of money. This
church is faire and large, and hath some monuments, as shall bee
shewed. I my selfe more then 60. yeares since haue séene in this
church the shanke bone of a man (as it is taken)
a very great bignesse hanged, vp for shewe in chaines of Iron
vppon a pillar of stone, the tooth (being about the bignesse of a
mans fist) is long since conueyed from thence the thigh or shanke
bone of 25. inches in length by the rule, remaineth yet fastened to
the thicknes, hardnes, and strength thereof, for when it was han
ged on the stone pillar, it fretted with mouing the said pillar, and
was not it selfe fretted, nor (as séemeth) is not yet lightned by re

It was lined with buildings three, four, and even five stories tall, whose shopfronts were open to the light and set out with attractive displays of luxury commodities (Weinreb and Hibbert 148). Cheapside Street was the centre of London’s wealth, with many mercers’ and goldsmiths’ shops located there.

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:

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.
