Then East from the Curriers Row, is
a long and high wall of stone, inclosing
the North side of a large garden, adjoy

reignes of King Henry the eighth, and
of Edward the sixth, by Sir William Pow

sometimes a faire foot way,
the west end of the Augustine Friers
Church straight North, and opened
somewhat VVest from Alhallowes
Church against London wall, towards
Mooregate, which foot-way had gates
at either end, locked up every night;

This great house adjoyning to the
Garden aforesaid, stretcheth to the
North corner of Broadstreet, and then
turneth up Broadstreet, all that side, to
and beyond the East end of the said Fri
ers Church. It was builded by the said
Lord Treasurer, in place of Augustine
Friers house, cloyster, and gardens, &c.
The Friers Church hee pulled not
downe, but the west end thereof, inclo
sed from the Steeple and Quire, was
in the yeere 1550. granted to the Dutch
Nation in London, to be their Preaching
place. The other part, namely, the
Steeple, Quire, and side Iles to the
Quire adjoyning, he reserved to house
hold uses, as for stowage of corne, coale,
and other things; his sonne and heire,
Marquesse of Winchester,1 sold the Monu
ments of Noblemen (there buried) in
great number, the paving stone, and
whatsoever, (which cost many thou
sands) for one hundred pounds, and in
place thereof made faire stabling for
horses. He caused the lead to be taken
from the roofes, and laid tile in place;
which exchange proved not so profita
ble as he looked for, but rather to his
disadvantage.

of ground left for a Garden, hee caused
the pales of the Gardens adjoyning to
the North part thereof, on a sudden to
be taken downe, 22. foot to be measu
red forth-right into the North of every
mans ground, a line there to be drawn,
a trench to be cast, a foundation laid,
and an high bricke wall to be builded.
My Father had a Garden there, & there
was a house standing close to his South
pale: this house they loosed from the
ground, and bare upon Rowlers into my
Fathers Garden 22. foot, ere my Father
heard thereof: no warning was given
him, nor other answer, (when he spake
to the surveyers of that worke) but that
their Master, Sir Thomas, commanded
them so to doe: no man durst goe to
argue the matter, but each man lost his
Land; and my Father paid his whole
rent, which was 6. shillings 8. pence
the yeere, for that halfe which was left.
Thus much of mine owne knowledge
have I thought good to note, that the
sudden rising of some men, causeth
them to forget themselves.

of England, &c. This house being fini
shed, and having some reasonable plot
of ground left for a Garden, hee caused
the pales of the Gardens adjoyning to
the North part thereof, on a sudden to
be taken downe, 22. foot to be measu
red forth-right into the North of every
mans ground, a line there to be drawn,
a trench to be cast, a foundation laid,
and an high bricke wall to be builded.
My Father had a Garden there, & there
was a house standing close to his South
pale: this house they loosed from the
ground, and bare upon Rowlers into my
Fathers Garden 22. foot, ere my Father
heard thereof: no warning was given
him, nor other answer, (when he spake
to the surveyers of that worke) but that
their Master, Sir Thomas, commanded
them so to doe: no man durst goe to
argue the matter, but each man lost his
Land; and my Father paid his whole
rent, which was 6. shillings 8. pence
the yeere, for that halfe which was left.
Thus much of mine owne knowledge
have I thought good to note, that the
sudden rising of some men, causeth
them to forget themselves.

(Stow 1:8), the London Wall dominated the cityscape and spatial imaginations of Londoners for centuries.

(Stow 1598, sig. K8v). The hospital consisted of a church, almsnouse, and school.St. Anthony’s Hospital is mentioned in the following documents:

Portsoken Ward
Portsoken Ward is east of Tower Street Ward and Aldgate Ward and is located outside the Wall.

Stow did not know the derivation of the street’s name, but suggested it had been called the Bakehouse in the fourteenth century,whether ment for the Kings bakehouse, or of bakers dwelling there, and baking bread to serue the market in Bredstreete, where the bread was sold, I know not
(Stow).Basing Lane is mentioned in the following documents:

Newgate
The gaol at Newgate, a western gate in the Roman Wall of London, was constructed in the twelfth century specifically to detainfellons and trespassors
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:
-
Fleet Prison is mentioned in the following documents:
-
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:

Bethlehem Hospital
Although its name evokes the pandemonium of the archetypal madhouse, Bethlehem (Bethlem, Bedlam) Hospital was not always an asylum. As Stow tells us, Saint Mary of Bethlehem began as aPriorie of Cannons with brethren and sisters,
founded in 1247 by Simon Fitzmary,one of the Sheriffes of London
(Stow 1:164). We know from Stow’s Survey that the hospital, part of Bishopsgate ward (without), resided on the west side of Bishopsgate Street, just north of St. Botolph without Bishopsgate (Stow 1:165).Bethlehem Hospital 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.
