Without Creplegate, Forestreete run

Church, along to More lane end, and to a
Posterne lane end, that runneth betwixt

is a Pot-makers house, which house,

Maior, and Court of Aldermen, that the

Now for Antiquities and Ornaments
in this Ward, to be noted: I finde, first
at the meeting of the corners of the Old
Iury,
bury, there was (of old time) a faire
Well with two Buckets, of late yeeres
converted to a Pumpe. How Alderman
bury streete took that name, many fables
have been bruted, all which I overpasse,
as not worthy the counting: but to bee
short, I say, this streete tooke the name
of Aldermans bury (which is to say, a
Court) there kept in their Bery, or Court
Hall, now called the Guild Hall, which
Hall (of old time) stood on the East side
of the same street, not far from the West
end of Guild Hall now used.

Touching the Antiquity of this old
Aldermans bury or Court,1 I have not
read other, than that Richard Renery, one
of the Sheriffes of London, in the first of
Richard the first, which was in the yeere
of Christ, 1189. gave to the Church or
Saint Mary at Osney by Oxford, certaine
ground and rents in Alderman bury of
London, as appeareth by the Register of
that Church, as is also entred into the
Hoistings of the Guild Hall in London.

This old Bery, Court, or Hall conti

& Aldermen were continually holden
there, untill the new Bery, Court, or
Guild hall that now is, was builded & fi
nished, which Hall was first begun to be
founded in the yeere 1411. and was not
fully finished in 20. yeers after. I my self
have seene the ruines of the old Court
Hall, in Alderman-bury streete, which of
late hath beene imployed as a Carpen

In this Alderman-bury street be divers
faire houses on both the sides, meete for
Merchants or men of worship, & in the
midst therof is a faire Conduit, made at
the charges of W. Eastfield, sometime
Maior, who took order as well for water
to be conveyed from Teyborne, & for the
building of this Conduit, not far distant
from his dwelling house; as also for a
Standard of sweet water to be erected in
Fleetstreet, all which was done by his Ex
ecutors, as elsewhere is shewed.

Then is the Parish Church of S. Mary
Aldermanbury, a faire Church, with a
Church-yard & Cloister adjoyning, in
the which Cloister is hanged & fastned
a shanke-bone of a man (as is said) very
great,
than that which hangeth in S. Laurence
Church in the Iurie; for it is in length
28. inches and a halfe of assise, but not
so hard and steely, like as the other, for
the same is light, and somewhat pory
and spongy. This bone is said to bee
found amongst the bones of men remo
ved from the Charnell house of Pauls,
or rather from the Cloyster of Pauls
Church: of both which reports I doubt,
for that the late Reyne Wolfe,
(who payd for the carriage of those
bones from the Charnell to the More
fields) told mee of some thousands of
Carre loads and more to bee conveyed,
whereof he wondred; but never told of
any such bone in either place to bee
found, neither would the same have bin
easily gotten from him, if he had heard
thereof, except he had reserved the like
for himself, being the greatest preserver
of antiquities in those parts for his time.

True it is, that this bone (from whence

of building was used for two hundred

By this Lane is the ancient Parish
Church of S. Albans. One note of the
great antiquity of it, is the name: by
which it was at first dedicated to Saint
Albane, the first Martyr of England. An
other character of the antiquity of it,
is to be seene in the manner of the tur
ning of the Arches in the windowes,
and heads of the Pillars. A third note
appeares in the Romane bricks, here and
there inlayed amongst the stones of the
building. Very probable it is, that this
Church is at least of as ancient a stan
ding, as King Adelstane the Saxon, who,
as the Tradition sayes, had his house at
the East end of this Church. This Kings
house having a doore also into Adel

in all Evidences to this day, is written

A stay to weake, a staffe to poore,
without back-bite or pride:
And when he dyed, he gave his Mite,
all that did him befall,
For ever (once a yeere) to cloath
S. Giles his poore withall.
All Saints he pointed for the day,
Gownes twenty ready made,
with twenty Shirts, and twenty Smocks,

A Sermon eke he hath ordain’d,
that God may have his praise,
And other might be won thereby,
to follow Langleys wayes.
On Vicar and Church-wardens then,
his trust he hath repos’d,
As they will answer him one day,
when all shall be disclos’d.

In Heavens blisse, in Worlds fame;
and so I trust shall I.

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 ashigh 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 spacesoutside the wall.
The Wall is mentioned in the following documents:

It was lined with buildings three, four, and even five stories tall, whose shopfronts were open to the light and set out with attractive displays of luxury commodities (Weinreb and Hibbert 148). Cheapside Street was the centre of London’s wealth, with many mercers’ and goldsmiths’ shops located there. It was also the most sacred stretch of the processional route, being traced both by the linear east-west route of a royal entry and by the circular route of the annual mayoral procession.Cheapside Street is mentioned in the following documents:

St. Alphage
Harben notes that St. Alphage was originally on the north side of the Wall near Cripplegate (Harben).

Q5v). After Henry VIII’s 1531 dissolution of the Hospital of St. Mary within Cripplegate, part of that hospital on the south side of the Wall was given to St. Alphage (Stow 1598, sig. Q5v). The church then moved there, presumably along Gayspur Lane, which according to Stow was the street of the Hospital of St. Mary.
