Of the Bridges of this Citie.
THe originall foundation of London bridge,
by
report of Bartholomew Linsled, alias Fowle,
last Prior of S. Marie Oueries, Church in
Southwarke was this: a Ferrie being kept in
place where now the Bridge1 is builded, at
length the Ferrimar and his wife deceasing,
left the same Ferrie to their onely daughter, a
maiden named Marie, which with the goods left by her Parents,
as also with the profites rising of the said Ferrie, builded a house of
Sisters in place where now standeth the east part of S. Marie O
ueries church aboue the Quier, where she was buried, vnto the
which house she gaue the ouersight and profites of the Ferrie, but
afterwardes the saide house of Sisters being conuerted into a
colledge of Priestes, the Priestes builded the Bridge (of Tymber)
as all other the greate bridges of this Land were, and from time to
time kept the same in good reparations, till at length considering
the greate charges of repayring the same there was by aide of the
Citizens of London and others a bridge builded of stone as shal
be shewed.

But first of the timber bridge, the antiquity thereof being vncer
taine, but I remember to haue red, that in the yeare of Christ,
994. Sweyn king of Denmark besieging the city of London, both
by water and by land, the Citizens manfully defended themselues,
and their king Ethelred, so as part of their ennemies were slaine
in battaile, and parte of them were drouned in the Riuer of
Thames, because in their hastie rage, they tooke no heede of the
Bridge.3

and streight siege he compassed the citie round aboute.

Now touching the foundation of the stone bridge,
it followeth
thus. Aboute the yeare 1176. the stone bridge ouer the riuer of
Thames, at London, was begunne to be founded by the foresaide
Peter of ColeChurch, neare vnto the bridge of timber, but some
what more towardes the west, for I reade that Buttolfe wharfe
was in the Conquerors time,9 at the head of London bridge. The
king assisted this worke: A Cardinal then being Legate here,
Richard Archbishop of Canterbury, gaue one thousand markes,
towardes the foundation, the course of the riuer for the time was
turned an other way aboute by a Trench cast for that purpose be
ginning as is supposed East, aboute Rodriffe, and ending in the
West about Patricksey now tearmed Batersey, this worke, to
wit, the Arches and stone bridge ouer the riuer of Thames, at
London, hauing beene 33. yeares in building was in the yeare,
1209. finished by the worthy Marchants of London, Serle Mer
cer, Wiliam Almaine, and Benedict Botewrite, principall
maisters of that worke, for Peter of Cole Church deceased foure
yeares before this worke was finished, and was buried in the
Chappell builded on the same bridge10 in the yeare 1205.

King Iohn gaue certaine voide places in London to builde vp
pon, the profites thereof to remaine towardes the charges of buil
ding and repayring of the same bridge: a Mason being maister
workemam of the bridge, builded from the foundation, the Chaple
on London bridge, of his owne proper expences, it was indowed
for two Priestes, foure Clarkes and other. There was also a
Chantrie for Iohn Hatfielde &c. So that in the yeare 23. of
Henry the 6 .there was 4. Chaplens in the saide chappell, after
that example sundry houses were thereupon shortly after erected,
the first action on this bridge was lamentable, for within 3. yeres
after the finishing thereof, to wit, in the yeare 1212. on the 10. of
Iuly at night, a maruelous terrible chance happened, for the citie
of London vpon the south side of the riuer of Thames as also the
eyther to extinguish and quench it, or els to gaze at and behold it,
suddenly the north part, by blowing of the south winde was also set
on fire, and the people which were euen now passing the bridge,
perceiuing the same, woulde haue returned, but were stopped by
fire, and it came to passe, that as they stayed, or protracted time, the
other ende of the bridge also, namely the South ende, was fired, so
that the people thronging themselues betwéene the two fires, did
nothing else but expect present death: then came there to aide them
many ships and vessels, into the which the multitude so vnadui
sedly rushed that the ships being drowned, they al perished: it was
said that through the fire and shipwracke there were destroyed a
bout thrée thousand persons whose bodies were found in parte, or
halfe burned, besides those that were wholy burnt to ashes, and
could not be found. Aboute the yeare 1282. through a greate
frost and deepe snow, 5. Arches of London bridge, were borne
downe and carried away. In the yeare 1289. the bridge was
so sore decayed, for want of reparations, that men were a
fraid to passe thereon, and a Subsidy was graunted towardes the
amendement thereof, Sir Iohn Britaine being Custos of Lon
don. In the yeare 1395. on S. Georges day, was a greate
iusting on London bridge, betwixt Dauid Earle Craforde of
Scotland, and the Lorde VVels of England: in the which, the
Lord VVels was at the third course borne out of the saddle, which
historie prooueth, that at that time the bridge being coaped on ey
ther side was not replenished with houses builded thereupon, as
since it hath beene and now is. The next yeare on the 13. of
Nouember, the young Queene Isabell, commonly called the
little, for she was but 8. yeares olde, was conueyed from Kening
ton besides Lamhith, through Southwarke to the Tower of
London, and such a multitude of people went out to see her, that

this bridge runneth a water sometimes called (as I haue said) the
riuer of the VVels, since Turnemill brooke, now Fleete dike,
because it runneth by the Fleete, and so vnder Fleete bridge, in
to the riuer of Thames. This bridge hath beene far greater in
times past, but hath beene lessened, as the water course hath béene
narrowed. It seemeth, this last bridge to bee made at the char

is engrauen Wels imbraced by Angels, like as on the Standarde
in Cheape, which he also builded: thus much of the Bridge: for of

There haue been, of old time also diuers bridges in sondrie pla

11. of Edwarde the thirde, the inhabitantes vpon the course of
this Brooke were forced to pile and wall the sides thereof. In the
thirde of Henry the fift, this watercourse hauing had many brid

The bridge was famous for the cityʼs grisly practice of displaying traitorsʼ heads on poles above its gatehouses.

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:

awaiting trial by royal judges (Durston 470; O’Donnell 25; Stow 1598, sig. C8r). The gradual centralisation of the English criminal justice system meant that by the reign of Elizabeth I, Newgate had become London’s most populated gaol. In the early modern period, incarceration was rarely conceived of as a punishment in itself; rather, gaols like Newgate were more like holding cells, where inmates spent time until their trials or punishments were effected, or their debts were paid off.Newgate 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.
