The next is Belinsgate,
whereof the
whole Ward taketh name, the which
(leaving out of the fable thereof, fai
ning it to be builded by King Belinus, a
Britaine, long before the incarnation of
Christ) is at this present a large Water

Boats, commonly arriving there with
Fish, both fresh and salt, Shell-fishes,
Salt, Oranges, Onions, and other Fruits
and Roots; Wheat, Rie, and Graine of

This Gate is now more frequented than
of old time, when the Queenes Hith
was used, as being appointed by the
Kings of this Realme, to be the speciall
or onely Port for taking up of all such
kind of Merchandises, brought to this
Citie by strangers and Forrainers; be
cause the Draw-bridge of timber at
London Bridge, was then to bee raised,
and drawne up for passage of Ships
with tops thither.

Yet till she dyed,

What happier husband,

Whom foure and forty
changes of the Spring,
In sacred wedlocke,
mutuall love had linkt:
The deare remembrance
of so deare a thing,
Was not by death
in her chaste breast extinct.
Building this Tombe

Her latest duty

Crown’d with her vertues,
like an honest Bride,
Here lyes at rest

Though worthy Blancke
her name it still endures,
Yet, Traves, boast,
her birth was onely yours.

This Lane on both sides is furnished
with many faire houses for Merchants,
and hath at the North end thereof one
other Lane, called S. Margaret Pattens,
because of old time Pattens were usual

time this is called Roode lane, of a Rood
there placed, in the Churchyard of S.
Margaret, whilest the old Church was
taken downe, and againe new builded;
during which time, the oblations made
to this Rood, were imployed towards
building of the Church. But in the yeer
1538. about the 23. of May in the mor

beene in the night preceding (by peo

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.
