THe next Ward to

Cornehill VVard:

and is a part of the
principall high street, beginning at the
West end of Leaden Hall, stretching
downe West on both the sides, by the
South end of Finkes lane on the right
hand, and by the North end of Bircho
vers lane, on the left part; of which
lanes, to wit, to the middle of them, is
of this Ward, and so downe to the
Stockes Market; and this is the bounds.
The upper or East part of this Ward,
and also a part of Limestreet Ward, hath
beene (as I said) a Market-place, especi
ally for corne, and since for all kinde of

It appeareth of record, that in the
yeere 1522. the Rippiers of Rie and o
ther places, sold their fresh Fish in Lea
den Hall Market, upon Cornehill; but
forraigne Butchers were not admitted
there to sell flesh, till the yeere 1533.

ther places, sold their fresh Fish in Lea
den Hall Market, upon Cornehill; but
forraigne Butchers were not admitted
there to sell flesh, till the yeere 1533.
And it was enacted,
should sell their Biefe not above a halfe
penny the pound; and Mutton, halfe
penny, halfe farthing: which act being
devised for the great commodity of the
Realme, (as it was then thought) hath
since proved farre otherwise: For before
that time, a fat Oxe was sold at London,
for 26. s. 8. d. at the most: a fat Wea
ther for 3. s. 4. d. a fat Calfe the same
price; a fat Lambe for 12. d. pieces of
Biefe weighed two pounds and a halfe
at the least; yea, three pound or better,
for a penny, on every Butchers stall in
this Citie; and of those pieces of Biefe,
thirteene or foureteen for twelve pence:
fat Mutton for eight pence the quarter,
and one hundred weight of Biefe for 4.
s. 8. d. at the dearest.

What the price is now, I neede not
to set downe: many men thought the
same act to rise in price, by reason that
Grasiers knew or supposed what weight
every their beasts contained, and so rai
sing their price thereafter, the Butcher
could be no gainer, but by likewise rai
sing his price. The number of Butchers
then in the Citie and Suburbs, was ac
counted sixe score, of which every one
killed 6. Oxen a peece weekely: which
is in 46. weekes, 33120. Oxen, or 720.

The forraigne Butchers (for a long

Ward, on the North side, twice
every weeke; viz. Wednesday and Sa

and into whose houses they set their

of lead, over the steeple of Saint Mag

Then have ye a faire Conduit, of
sweet water, castellated in the midst of
that Ward and street. This Conduit
was first builded of stone, in the yeere
1282. by Henry Wallis, Maior of London,
to be a prison for night-walkers, and o

the Tunne upon Cornehill, because
the same was builded somewhat in

rights that belonged to their Bishops,
first imprisoned such women aswere ta

said Tunne; and after, bringing them

caused their heads to be shaven, after
the manner of Theeves, whom they na

They abhorred not only the negligence

guilty, to live favourably by their fines.

Now, for the punishment of Priests,
in my youth, one note and no more.
Iohn Atwod, Draper, dwelling in the
Parish of Saint Michael upon Cornehill,
directly against the Church, having a
proper woman to his wife, such an one
as seemed the holiest amongst a thou
sand, had also a lusty Chauntry Priest
of the said Parish Church, repairing to
his house, with the which Priest, the
said Atwod would sometime after sup
per play a game at Tables for a pint of
Ale. It chanced on a time, having haste
of worke, and his game proving long, he
left his wife to play it out, and went
downe to his shop: but returning to
fetch a pressing-iron, he found such play
(to his misliking) that hee forced the
Priest to leap out at a window, over the
Penthouse into the street, and so to run
to his lodging in the Church-yard. At
wod and his wife were soone reconciled,
so that he would not suffer her to be cal
led in question;
apprehended and committed, I saw his
punishment to be thus: He was on three
Market dayes conveyed thorow the
high street and Markets of the Citie,
with a paper on his head, wherein was
written his trespasse. The first day hee
rode in a Carry; the second, on a horse,
his face to the horse taile; the third, led
betwixt twaine, and every day rung
with Basons, and proclamations made
of his fact at every turning of the streets,
and also before Iohn Atwods Stall, and
the Church doore of his Service, where
hee lost his Chauntry of twenty Nobles
the yeere, and was banished the Citie
for ever.

There is a Controversie (faith hee)
moved among our Historiographers,
whether the Church that Lucius buil
ded at London, stood at Westminster, or
in Cornehill. For, there is some cause,
why the Metropolitane Church should
be thought to stand where Saint Peters
now doth, by the space of foure hundred
and odde yeeres, before it was removed
to Canturbury by Austin the Monke, if a
man would leane to one side, without
any conference of the asseverations of
the other. But herein (as I take it) there
lurketh some scruple: for, beside that S.
Peters Church stood in the East end of
the Citie, and that of Apollo in the west,
the word Cornehill, a denomination gi
ven of late (to speake of) to one street,
may easily be mistaken for Thorney.

For, as the word Thorney proceedeth
from the Saxons, who called the West

Westminster now standeth, because of the
wildernesse and bushinesse of the soile:
so doe I not read of any street in London

of the Normans. Wherefore, I hold
with them, which make Westminster to

the said Sparling should yeerely pay one

tiquity thereof, I finde that Alnothus
the Priest gave it to the Abbot and Co
vent of Covesham; Reynold Abbot, and
the Covent there, did grant the same
to Sparling the Priest, in all measures, as
he and his Predecessors before had held
it: to the which Sparling also, they gran
ted all their Lands which they there
had, except certaine Lands which Or
gar le Prowde held of them, and paid two
shillings yeerely. For the which grant,
the
the said Sparling should yeerely pay one
Marke of rent to the said Abbot of Cove
sham, and finde him his lodging, salt,
water, and fire, when hee came to Lon
don; this was granted 1133. about the
34. of Henry the first. Thus much for
antiquity.
Of later time I finde, that Elizabeth
Peake, Widdow, gave the Patronage
or gift of this Benefice to the Drapers
in London: shee lyeth buried in the Bel
frey, 1518. her Monument yet remai
neth. This hath beene a faire and beau
tifull Church, but of late yeeres, since
the surrender of their lands to Edward
the sixth, greatly blemished by the buil
ding of foure Tenements on the North
side thereof, towards the high street, in
place of a greene Church-yard, where
by the Church is darkened and other
waies annoyed. The faire new Steeple
or Bell-Tower of this Church, was be
gun to bee builded in the yeere, 1421.
which being finished,
of five Bels therein placed; a sixth Bell
was added, and given by Iohn VVhitwel,
Isabel his wife, and VVilliam Rus, or Rous
Alderman and Goldsmith, about the

Locations
-

Cornhill Ward is west of Bishopsgate Ward and south of Broad Street Ward. According to Stow, the ward and its principle street, Cornhill, are named after acorne Market
once held there.Note: Cornhill and Cornhill Ward are nearly synonymous in terms of location and nomenclature—thus, it can be a challenge to tell one from the other. Topographical decisions have been made to the best of our knowledge and ability.Cornhill Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Corn Market is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Leadenhall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Finch Lane
Finch Lane (labelledFinke la.
on the Agas map) was a small north-south lane that ran between Threadneedle Street and Cornhill. The north half of the lane was in Broadstreet Ward and the latter half was in Cornhill Ward. It is likely that the lane is named after Robert Finke and his family (son Robert Finke and relatives James and Rosamund).Finch Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Birchin Lane
Birchin Lane was a short street running north-south between Cornhill Street and Lombard Street. The north end of Birchin Lane lay in Cornhill Ward, and the south end in Langbourne Ward.Birchin Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Stocks Market
The Stocks Market was a significant market forfish and flesh
in early modern London, located south of Poultry, north of Bucklersbury, and west of Walbrook Street in Cornhill Ward (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). The building of the Stocks Market was commissioned by Henry le Wales in 1283 and, according to the editors of The London Encyclopedia, is named after thethe only fixed pair of stocks in the city
(Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). It was destroyed in the Great Fire, rebuilt, and then replaced in 1739 by the Mansion House, which is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London.Stocks Market is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Lime Street Ward

-
Cornhill
Cornhill was a significant thoroughfare and was part of the cityʼs main major east-west thoroughfare that divided the northern half of London from the southern half. The part of this thoroughfare named Cornhill extended from St. Andrew Undershaft to the three-way intersection of Threadneedle, Poultry, and Cornhill where the Royal Exchange was built. The nameCornhill
preserves a memory both of the cornmarket that took place in this street, and of the topography of the site upon which the Roman city of Londinium was built.Note: Cornhill and Cornhill Ward are nearly synonymous in terms of location and nomenclature - thus, it can be a challenge to tell one from the other. Topographical decisions have been made to the best of our knowledge and ability.Cornhill is mentioned in the following documents:
-
London 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:
-
St. Magnus
The church of St. Magnus the Martyr, believed to be founded some time in the eleventh century, was on the south side of Thames Street just north of London Bridge. According to Stow, in its churchyardhaue béene buried many men of good worſhip, whoſe monumentes are now for the moſt part vtterly defaced,
including John Michell, mayor of London in the first part of the fifteenth century (Stow 1598, sig. M4r). The church was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666, and rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren (Wikipedia).St. Magnus is mentioned in the following documents:
-
London Bridge
As the only bridge in London crossing the Thames until 1729, London Bridge was a focal point of the city. After its conversion from wood to stone, completed in 1209, the bridge housed a variety of structures, including a chapel and a growing number of shops. The bridge was famous for the cityʼs grisly practice of displaying traitorsʼ heads on poles above its gatehouses. Despite burning down multiple times, London Bridge was one of the few structures not entirely destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666.London Bridge is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Thames Street
Thames Street was the longest street in early modern London, running east-west from the ditch around the Tower of London in the east to St. Andrew’s Hill and Puddle Wharf in the west, almost the complete span of the city within the walls.Thames Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
New Fish Street
New Fish Street (also known in the seventeenth century as Bridge Street) ran north-south from London Bridge at the south to the intersection of Eastcheap, Gracechurch Street, and Little Eastcheap in the north (Harben 432; BHO). At the time, it was the main thoroughfare to London Bridge (Sugden 191). It ran on the boundary between Bridge Within Ward on the west and Billingsgate Ward on the east. It is labelled on the Agas map asNew Fyſhe ſtreate.

Brigestret,
Brugestret,
andNewfishstrete
(Harben 432; BHO).New Fish Street is mentioned in the following documents:

-
Bishopsgate is mentioned in the following documents:
-

(Ekwall 36), Alegate from the Old English ealu meaningale,
Aelgate from the Saxon meaningpublic gate
oropen to all,
or Aeldgate meaningold gate
(Bebbington 20–21).Aldgate is mentioned in the following documents:

Conduit (Cornhill)
Not labelled on the Agas map, the Conduit upon Cornhill is thought to have been located in the middle of Cornhill Ward andopposite the north end of Change Alley and the eastern side of the Royal Exchange

-
Tyburn
Tyburn is best known as the location of the principal gallows where public executions were carried out from the late twelfth century until the eighteenth (Drouillard, Wikipedia). It was a village to the west of the city, near the present-day location of Marble Arch (beyond the boundary of the Agas Map). Its name derives from a stream, and its significance to Stow was primarily as one of the sources of piped water for the city; he describes howIn 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. Reason: Editorial omission for reasons of length or relevance. Use only in quotations in born-digital documents.[…] (Stow 1598, sig. L3r)

-
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:
-
Bishopsgate Ward
Bishopsgate Ward shares its western boundary with the eastern boundaries of Shoreditch and Broad Street Ward and, thus, encompasses area both inside and outside the Wall.
