MoEML: Survey of London (1598): Portsoken Ward

SEing that of euery of these Wardes: I haue

to say somewhat: I wil beginne with Port
soken warde, without Ealdgate.

This Portsoken, which soundeth as
much as the Franchise at the gate, was

sometime a Guilde, and had this beginning,
as I haue reade. In the daies of king Edgar,
more then 600. yeres since, there were thirteene Knights (or sol
diers) welbeloued to the king and realme (for seruice by them done)
which requested to haue a certain portion of land on the East part
of the Citie, left desolate, and forsaken, by the inhabitants, by rea
son of too much seruitude. They besought the king to haue this
land, with the Libertie of a Guilde for euer: the king granted to
their request with conditions following: that is, that each of them
should victoriously accomplish thrée combates, one aboue the
ground, one vnder ground, and the thirde in the water, and after
this at a certaine day in East Smithfield, they should run with
speares against all commers, all which was gloriously performed:

or Portsoken warde.

and the same day the king named it knighten Guilde, and so boun
ded it, from Ealdgate to the place where the bars now are toward
the East, on both the sides of the streete, and extended it towardes
the North, and the gate now since called Bishopsgate, vnto the

and then of the heires of Coluer, after that of Iohn Esseby, but
since of the Lord Bourchier, &c. And againe towardes the South
vnto the Riuer of Thames, and so far into the water, as a horse
man entering the same may ryde at a low water, and throw his
speare: so that all East Smithfielde, with the right part of the
streete that goeth to Dodding Pond into the Thames, and also
the Hospitall of S. Katherins, with the Mils, that were founded
in king Stephens daies, and the outward stone wall, and the new
ditch of the Tower are of the saide Fee and Libertie: for the saide
wall and ditch of the Tower, were made in the time of king Rich
arde, when he was in the holy Land, by William Longshamp
Bishop of Ely, as before I haue noted vnto you. These knightes
had as then none other Charter, by all the daies o f Edgar, Ethel
red, and Cnutus, vntil the time of Edward the Confeſſor, whom
the heires of those knightes humblie besought to confirme their
Liberties, whereunto he gratiously graunting, gaue them a deed

Liber Trinitate

thereof, as appeareth in the booke of the late house of the holie
Trinitie, written in the Saxon letter and tongue. After this king
William the sonne of William the Conqueror, made a confirma
tion of the same Liberties, vnto the heires of these knightes, in
these wordes. Wiliam king of Englande to Maurice Bishop
and Godfrey de Magum, and Richarde de Parr, and to his
faithfull people of London, greeting, know yee mee to haue
graunted to the men of Knighten Guilde, the Guilde that
belonged to them, and the Land that belonged thereunto,

Edward, and my Father. Witnesse Hugh de Bucke: at Rething.

king Henry the first confirmed the same by his Char
ter, to the like effect, the recitall whereof, I pretermit for breui
ties sake. After which time, the Church of the holy Trinitie
within Ealdgate of London, being founded by Queene Matilde
wife to the saide Henry, the multitude of Brethren praising God
day and night therein, in short time so increased, that all the Citie
was delighted in the beholding of them: insomuch that in the yere

hoode and participation of the benefites of that house by the hands
of Prior Norman. And the better to confirme this their grant,
they offered vpon the Altar there, the Charter of Edwarde toge
ther with the other Charters, which they had thereof: and after
warde they did put the foresaide Prior in seisine thereof, by the
Church of S. Buttolphes which is builded thereon, and is the
head of that land: These things were thus done, before Barnarde
Prior of Dunstable, Iohn Prior of Derland, Geffery Glinton
Chamberlain, and many other Clarks and Laymen, French &
English, Orgar le Prude (one of their Companie) was sent to
King Henry, beseeching him to confirm their gifte, which the king

that it might be called the Church yard of the holy Trinity, which

A farme by the
Minories.

Néere adioyning vnto this Abbey on the South side thereof,
was sometime a Farme, belonging to the said Nunnerie, at the
which I my selfe in my youth haue fetched many a halfe pennie
worth of milke, and neuer had lesse then thrée Ale pints for a half
penie in ye sommer, nor lesse then one Ale quart for a halfpennie in
the winter, alwaies hot from the cow, as the same was milked
and strained. One Trolop, and afterwardes Goodman, were
the Farmers there, and had 30. or 40. kine to the payle. Good
mans sonne being heyre thereof, let out the ground first for gra
zing of horse, and then for garden plottes, and liued like a gentle
man thereby. On thother side of that stréete, lyeth the ditch with
out the walles of the citie, which of old time was vsed to lie open,
and was alwaies from time to time cleansed from filth and mud,
as neede required, and was of great breadth and so déepe, that di
uers watring horses, where they thought it shallowest, were
drowned both horse and man. But now of latter time, the same
ditch is inclosed, and the bankes thereof let out for garden plottes,
carpenters yardes, bowling Allies, and diuers houses bee thereon
builded, whereby the ditch is filled vp, and made shallow enough.

From Ealdegate East, lyeth a large stréete, and high way,
sometime replenished with few, but fayre and cleanly buildinges:
on the North side whereof the first building was the parish church
of Saint Buttolph, in a large cemitorie, or church yarde. This
church hath beene lately new builded at the speciall charges of the

Priors of the holy Trinitie, patrons thereof, as it appeareth by
the Armes of that house engrauen on the stone worke. The pa
rishioners of this parish being of late yeares mightily increased,
the church is pestered with lofts & seates for them. Monuments in
this Church there are few: Iohn Romany Ollarie & Agnes his
wife were buried thereabout 1408. Richard Chester Alderman,
one of the Sheriffes 1484. Thomas, Lord Darcy of the North,
knight of the Garter beheaded 1537. Sir Nicolas Carew of Be
dington in Surrey, knight of the Garter beheaded, 1538. Sir Ar

sed at the newe Abbey on the Tower hill, was buried there.
East from this parrish church there were certain fayre Innes, for

end, somewhat within the Barres, a marke shewing howe farre
the liberties of the Citie do extend.

This Hogge lane stretcheth North to Saint Mary Spittle,
without Bishopsgate, and within these fortie foure yeares last, had
on both sides fayre hedgerowes of Ealme trées, with bridges and
easie styles to passe ouer into the pleasant fieldes, very commodi
ous for citizens therein to walke, shoote, and otherwise to recre
ate and refresh their dulled spirites in the swéete and wholesome
ayre, which is now within few yeares made a continual building
throughout, of garden houses, and small cottages: & the fields on ei
ther sides be turned into garden plottes, teynter yardes, bowling
Alleyes, and such like, from Hounds ditch in the West, so farre
as White chappel, and further in the East. The South side of the
high way from Ealdegate had some few tenements thinly scatte
red here and there, with much voyde space betweene them, vp to
the said Barre, but now that stréete is not onely fully replenished
with buildings, outwarde, and also pestered with diuers Allies,
on eyther side to the Barres, but also euen to White chappell,and
beyond.

From Aldegate Northwest to Bishopsgate, lyeth the ditch of

Hounds ditch.

the citie in that part called Hounds ditch, for that in old time when
the same lay open much filth (conueyed forth of the citie) especial
ly dead dogges was there laid or cast: wherefore of latter time a
mudde wall was made inclosing the ditch, to kéepe out the laying
of such filth as had beene accustomed. Ouer against this mudde
wall on the other side of the stréete, was a fayre fielde, sometime
belonging to the Priory of the Trinitie, and since by Sir Tho
mas Audley giuen to Magdalen Colledge in Cambridge: this
field (as all other about the citie) was inclosed, reseruing open pas
sage there into, for such as were disposed. Towards the stréet were
some small cottages, of two stories high, and little garden plottes
backewarde, for poore bedred people (for in that stréete dwelt none
other) builded by some Prior of the holy Trinitie, to whom that
ground belonged. In my youth I remember, devout people as

specially on Frydayes weekely to walke that way purposely, and

the streete open so low, that euery man might see them, a cleane

that there lay a bedred bodie vnable but to pray onely. This stréet

These occupied a good part of ye stréet on the field side, and in short
time diuers other also builded there, so that the poore bedred people
were worne out, and in place of their homely cottages, such houses
builded, as do rather want roome, then rent. The residue of the field
was for the most part made into a garden, by a Gardener, named
Casway, one that serued the markets, with hearbes and rootes,
and in the last yeare of King Edward the sixt, the same was par
celled into gardens, wherein are now many fayre houses of plea
sure buildéd. On the ditch side of this streete, the mudde wall is
also by little and little all taken downe, the banke of the ditch be
ing raysed made leuel ground, and turned into garden plottes, and
Carpenters yardes, and many large houses are there builded, by
which meanes the ditch is filled vp, and both the ditch and wall so
hidden that they cannot be seene of the passers by. This Port
soken warde hath an Alderman and his deputie, common coun
sellors sixe, Constables foure, Scauengers foure, for the Wardemote inquest eighteene, and a Beadle, to at

Locations

Portsoken Ward

Portsoken Ward is east of Tower Street Ward and Aldgate Ward and is located outside the Wall. This ward was once called Knighten Guild, so named because the land which it encompasses was originally given to thirteen knights or soldiers who were the first members of the Knighten Guild, an order of chivalry founded by Edgar the Peaceful for valuable knights in his service. As the OED notes, portsoken refers to the district outside a city or borough, over which its jurisdiction extends (OED portsoken, 1). It follows that this ward, one of the twenty-six wards of London and located outside of the Wall, was later known as Portsoken Ward.
Portsoken Ward 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:
East Smithfield

East Smithfield is a district located east of the City of London and northeast of the Tower of London. Its name derives from smoothfield , with the prefix east helping to differentiate it from the Smithfield northwest of Cripplegate (Harben). As time progressed, it transformed from what Stow describes as a plot of ground with very few houses into a densely populated area by the mid-seventeenth century (Stow; Harben).
East Smithfield is mentioned in the following documents:
Bishopsgate
Bishopsgate is mentioned in the following documents:
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:
Dodding Pond

Dodding Pond may have been a lane somewhere east of the Tower of London and near the Abbey of St. Mary Graces (Harben).
Dodding Pond is mentioned in the following documents:
St. Katherine’s Hospital

St. Katherine’s Hospital was a religious hospital founded in 1148. According to Stow, the hospital was founded by Queen Matilda. The hospital, the grounds of which contained a church, gardens, orchards, and residences, was at the southern end of St. Katherine’s Lane and north of the St. Katherine Steps, all of which is east of the Tower of London. Stow praised the choir of the hospital, noting how it was not much inferior to that of [St.] Paules [Cathedral] (Stow).
St. Katherine’s Hospital is mentioned in the following documents:
Tower Ditch

The Tower Ditch, or Tower Moat, was part of the Tower of London’s medieval defences. It was built by the Bishop of Ely William de Longchamp while Richard I was crusading in the Holy Land (1187-1192) (Harben). The ditch was used as a dumping ground for plague victim corpses, human waste from the Tower, and meat carcasses from East Smithfield market.
Tower Ditch is mentioned in the following documents:
Holy Trinity Priory

Holy Trinity Priory, located west of Aldgate and north of Leadenhall Street, was an Augustinian Priory. Stow notes that Queen Matilda established the Priory in 1108 in the parishes of Saint Marie Magdalen, S. Michael, S. Katherine, and the blessed Trinitie, which now was made but one Parish of the holy Trinitie (Stow). Before Matilda united these parishes under the name Holy Trinity Priory, they were collectively known as the Holy Cross or Holy Roode parish (Stow; Harben).
Holy Trinity Priory is mentioned in the following documents:
London

London is mentioned in the following documents:
The Wall

Originally built as a Roman fortification for the provincial city of Londinium in the second century C.E., the London Wall remained a material and spatial boundary for the city throughout the early modern period. Described by Stow as high and great (Stow 1:8), the London Wall dominated the cityscape and spatial imaginations of Londoners for centuries. Increasingly, the eighteen-foot high wall created a pressurized constraint on the growing city; the various gates functioned as relief valves where development spilled out to occupy spaces outside the wall.
The Wall is mentioned in the following documents:
St. Botolph (Aldgate)

St. Botolph, Aldgate was a parish church near Aldgate at the junction of Aldgate Street and Houndsditch. It was located in Portsoken Ward on the north side of Aldgate Street. Stow notes that the Church hath beene lately new builded at the speciall charges of the Priors of the holy Trinitie before the Priory was dissolved in 1531 (Stow).

St. Paul’s Cathedral

St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. The church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again. An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would become the cathedral of St. Paul’s which survived until the Great Fire of London.
St. Paul’s Cathedral is mentioned in the following documents:
Abbey of St. Mary Graces

The Abbey of St. Mary Graces is a chapel built in around 1350 within the Holy Trinity Churchyard and later a large monastery controlled by the Cistercian order (Harben). The abbey was built within the aforementioned churchyard, east of Little Tower Hill and south of Hog Lane (East Smithfield).

Tower Hill was a large area of open ground north and west of the Tower of London. It is most famous as a place of execution; there was a permanent scaffold and gallows on the hill for the execution of such Traytors or Transgressors, as are deliuered out of the Tower, or otherwise to the Shiriffes of London (Stow).
Tower Hill is mentioned in the following documents:
Holy Trinity Churchyard (East Smithfield)

A component of London’s pestilential past, Holy Trinity Churchyard in East Smithfield was a graveyard for victims of London’s first great plague. The churchyard was east of Little Tower Hill, south of Hog Lane (East Smithfield) and north of St. Katherine’s Hospital. As the number of plague victims increased, these graveyards ran out of space and Holy Trinity Priory was used to ensure that the dead were buried in holy ground.
Holy Trinity Churchyard (East Smithfield) is mentioned in the following documents:
Merchant Taylors’ Almshouses

Hog Lane (East Smithfield)

Hog Lane (East Smithfield) is mentioned in the following documents:
Abbey of St. Clare

Founded in 1293 by Edmund, earl of Lancaster, the Abbey of St. Clare is also referred to in Stow’s Survey as the Minories (Stow 1633, sig. M2v), a name derived from the toponym the Abbey of the Minoresses of St. Mary of the Order of St. Clare (Harben 416). It occupied five acres of land. After the Abbey was surrendered to Henry VIII by Dame Elizabeth Salvage, the abbess, the site was occupied by the Parish Church of Holy Trinity (Minories) until 1899 (Harben 151).
Abbey of St. Clare is mentioned in the following documents:

Aldgate Bars

The Aldgate Bars were posts that marked the eastern limits of the City of London. They were located at the western end of Whitechapel and the eastern end of Aldgate Street.

Aldgate Bars is mentioned in the following documents:
St. Mary Spital

St. Mary Spital was an Augustinian Priory and Hospital on the east side of Bishopsgate Street. The Priory dates from 1197. The old precinct of St. Mary Spital is visible on the Agas map.

St. Mary Spital is mentioned in the following documents:
Houndsditch Street

Running southeast from Bishopsgate Street to Aldgate Street outside the city wall, Houndsditch Street passed through Bishopsgate Ward and Portsoken Ward. It was first paved in 1603 (Harben 311).
