MoEML: Survey of London (1598): Cripplegate Ward

THe Next ward is called of Criplesgate,

and con
sisteth of diuers streetes and lanes, lying aswell
without the gate and wall of the citie, as with
in: for first within the wall on the east parte
thereof, towardes the north it runneth to the
west side of Bassinges hal ward: and towards
the south it ioyneth to the warde of Cheape, it beginneth at the
west ende of S. Lawrence church, in the Iury, on the north side
and runneth west to a Pump, where sometime was a well, with
two Bucketes, at the south corner of Aldermanbury streete,
which streete runneth downe north to Gay spurre lane, and so to
London wall, which streete and lane are wholy on both sides of
this warde, and so bee some few houses on both the sides from
Gay spurre lane, by and against the wall of the citie, east to the
Grates made for the Watercourse of the channels, and west to
Criples gate. Now on the south side from ouer against the west
end of S. Lawrence church, to the Pumpe, and then vp Milke
streete, south vnto Cheape, which Milkestreete, is wholy on
both the sides of Cripplegate warde, as also without the South

ende

Q4r

231

end of Milkestreete, a part of west Cheape, to wit from the stan
darde to the Crosse, is all of Cripplegate warde. Then downe
greate Woodstreete, which is wholy of this warde on both the
sides thereof, so is little Woodstreete which runneth downe to
Cripplegate.

Out of this Woodstreete be diuers lanes, namely on the east
side is Lad lane, which runneth east to Milkestreete corner, down
lower in Woodstreete is Loue lane, which lyeth by the south side
of S. Albons church in Woodstreete, and runneth downe to the
Conduite in Aldermanbury stréete. Lower downe in Woode
streete is Addlestreete, out of the which runneth Phillippe lane,
downe to London wall. These be the lanes on the east side.

On the west side of Woodestreete is Hugen lane by the south
side of S. Michaels church, and goeth through to Guthuruns lane.
Then lower is Maiden lane, which runneth west to the North
end of Guthurouns lane, and vp to the said lane on the east side
thereof, till against Kery lane, and backe againe: then the saide
Maiden lane, on the north side goeth vp to Stayning lane, and vp
a part thereof on the east side, to the farthest north part of Haber
dashers hall, and backe againe to Woodstreete, and there lower
downe is Siluer streete, which is of this warde, till yee come to
the east end of S. Oliues church, on the south side, and to Munkes
well streete on the north side, then downe the saide Munkes well
streete on the East side thereof, and so to Criples gate, doe make
the bounds of this warde, within the walles.

Without Cripplegate, Forestreete runneth thwart before the
gate, from against the North side of S. Giles church, along to
More lane end, and to a Posterne lane ende that runneth betwixt
the Towne ditch on the south, and certaine gardens on the North
almost to Moregate, at the east of which lane is a pot-makers
house, which house with all other the gardens, houses, and Allies
on that side the Morefieldes, till yee come to a Bridge and Cow
house neare vnto Fensbery Court is all of Criplegate ward: then
to turn backe again through the said Posterne lane to More lane,
which More lane with all the Allies and buildinges there, is of
this warde, after that is Grubstreete, more then halfe thereof to
the straightning of the streete, next is Whitecrosse streete, vp to
the end of Bech lane, and then Redcrosse streete wholy, with a

parte

parte of Goldinglane, euen to the Posts there placed, as a boun
der.

Then is Bech lane before spoken of, on the east side of the Red
crosse, and the Barbican streete, more then halfe thereof, towarde
Aldersgate streete, and so haue you all the boundes of Criplegate
warde without the walles.

Now for Antiquities and Ornamentes in this warde, meete
to be noted: I finde first at the meeting of the corners of the olde
Iury, Milkestreete, Lad lane, and Aldermanbury, there was of
olde time

A pumpe at
the corner of
Aldermanbury
streete.

a fayre well with two buckets, of late yeares conuerted
to a Pumpe, how Aldermanbury streete tooke that name, manie
fables haue beene bruted, all which I ouerpasse as not worthy the
accounting, but to be short and plaine, I say that this streete tooke
the name of Aldermans bury (which is to say a court) there kept
in their Bery, or Court hall, now called the Guildehall, which hall
of olde time stoode on the East side of the same streete not far from
the west end of Guild hall now vsed. Touching the antiquitie of
this old Aldermans bery or court, I haue not read other then that

den there vntil the new Bery court or Guild hal that now is was
builded and finished, which hall was first begun to be founded in ye
yeare 1411. and was not fully finished in 20. yeares after, I my
selfe haue seene the ruines of the old Court hall in Aldermanbury
street which of late hath been imployed as a Carpenters yard &c.

In this Aldermanbury streete bee diuers fayre houses on both
the sides, meete for marchantes or men of Worship, and in the
middest thereof is a fayre conduite made at the charges of VVil
liam Eastfielde, sometime Maior, who tooke order aswell for
water to be conueyed, from Teyborne, and for the building of
this Conduite not far distant from his dwelling house, as also for
a Standarde of sweet water, to be erected in Fleetestreete, all
which was don by his executors, as in another place I haue shewed

a fayre

bone is said to bee found amongst the bones of men remoued from
the charnell house of Paules, or rather from the Cloyster of Pauls
church, of both which reports I haue some doubt, for that the late
Reyne Wolfe Stationer (who paid for the cariage of those bones
from the charnell to the Morefields) told me of some thousands

neither would the same haue béene easily gotten from him if he had

of the greatest serchers, and preseruers of antiquities in those

bee monstrous, and more then after the proportion of fiue shanke

Then next to this is Woodstréet,

Woodstreet.

by what reason so called
I know not, true it is that of old time according to a decrée made
in the raigne of Richard the firſt, the houses in London were
builded of stone for defence of fire, which kind of building was vsed
for 200. yeares or more, but of later time for the winning of
ground those houses haue béene taken down, and houses of timber
set vp in place. It séemeth therefore that this stréet hath béene of
the later building, all of timber, (for not one house of stone hath
béene knowne there) and therefore called Woodstréet, otherwise it
might take the name of some builder or owner thereof.

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.

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 generally full of noysome waters (Stow 2:77) until 1605–1607, when it was successfully drained, levelled, and beautified with tree-lined pedestrian pathways. At this point, it transformed into a fashionable place for the genteel to see and to be seen.

In the yeare 1401. this priſon houſe called the Tunne was made a Ceſterne for ſweete water conueyed by pipes of Leade frõ the towne of Tyborne, and was from thence forth called the conduite vpon Cornhill Gap in transcription.

Aldersgate

Aldersgate was one of London’s four original gates (Stow 1598, sig. C7r), labelled Alders gate on the Agas map. The gate was likely built into the Wall of London during the Roman Conquest, marking the northern entrance into the city.
Aldersgate is mentioned in the following documents:
Aldgate

Aldgate was the easternmost gate into the walled city. The name Aldgate is thought to come from one of four sources: Æst geat meaning Eastern gate (Ekwall 36), Alegate from the Old English ealu meaning ale, Aelgate from the Saxon meaning public gate or open to all, or Aeldgate meaning old gate (Bebbington 20–21).
Aldgate is mentioned in the following documents:
St. Alphage

Harben notes that St. Alphage was originally on the north side of the Wall near Cripplegate (Harben). However, the Parish of St. Alphage (London Wall) must have straddled the Wall, because both Stow and Harben note that parts of the Parish of St. Alphage (London Wall) on the south side of the Wall were given over for the construction of the Hospital of St. Mary within Cripplegate in 1329 (Stow 1598, sig. Q5v). After Henry VIII’s 1531 dissolution of the Hospital of St. Mary within Cripplegate, part of that hospital on the south side of the Wall was given to St. Alphage (Stow 1598, sig. Q5v). The church then moved there, presumably along Gayspur Lane, which according to Stow was the street of the Hospital of St. Mary. The church on the north side of the Wall was demolished, and the site became a carpenter’s yard (Stow 1598, sig. Q5v).

City Ditch

The city ditch was part of London’s medieval defence system that ran along the outside of the wall from the Tower to Fleet River.
