Merchants being called, when they were
not able to discharge themselves, sith
they enjoyed the liberties to them gran

Thus much for their Priviledges:
Whereby it appeareth, that they were

Locations
-
Dowgate Ward
Dowgate Ward is east of Vintry Ward and west of Candlewick Street Ward. Both the ward and its main street, Dowgate Street, are named after Dowgate, a watergate on the Thames.Dowgate Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Walbrook Ward
Walbrook Ward is west of Candlewick Street Ward. The ward is named after the Walbrook, a river that ran through the heart of London from north to south. The river was filled in and paved over so that it was hardly discernable by Stow’s time (Harben, Walbrook (The)).Walbrook Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. John the Baptist (Walbrook) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Dowgate
Dowgate was a watergate opening to the Thames in Dowgate Ward, near Walbrook (Harben). According to Carlin and Belcher, Dowgate was a place where ships unloaded (Carlin and Belcher 72). According to Harben, Dowgate was calledDuuegate,
Douuegate,
orDouegate,
in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries but because Stow mistook the secondu
for ann,
the gate also became known as Downgate (Harben). According to Harben, the site is now occupied by Dowgate Dock (Harben).Dowgate 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:
-
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:
-
Walbrook is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Old Swan Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Dowgate Street
Dowgate Street is a high street that runs north-south from Candlewick Street to the Thames. According to Stow, the street marks the beginning of Dowgate Ward at the south end of Walbrook Ward (Stow 1633, sig. Y4r). According to Harben, the street is named afterDowgate
(Harben, Dowgate Hill). According to Stow, the street got its name from the act ofdowne going or descending,
because the street descends to the Thames (Stow 1633, sig. Y4r).Dowgate Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Conduit upon Dowgate
Conduit upon Dowgate was a water conduit in Dowgate Ward. It flowed from the upper end of Dowgate Street to the Thames (Stow 1633, sig. Y4r). Dowgate marks the end of the water conduit where it flows into the Thames. According to Stow, the conduit was built in 1568 at the expense of the citizens of London (Stow 1633, sig. Y4r).Conduit upon Dowgate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Tallow Chandlers’ Hall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Skinners’ Hall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Parish of St. John the Baptist is mentioned in the following documents:
-
London is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Mary Spital
St. Mary Spital was an Augustinian Priory and Hospital on the east side of Bishopsgate Street. The Priory dates from 1197. The old precinct of St. Mary Spital is visible on the Agas map. The church itself was demolished after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539. By the time the Agas map was drawn, many of the priory buildings had been removed and the area appears sparse.St. Mary Spital 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:
-
Bishopsgate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Elbow Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Saviour (Southwark)
St. Saviour (Southwark) dates back at least to 1106. It was originally known by the name St. Mary Overies, with Overies referring to its beingover
the Thames, that is, on its southern bank. After the dissolution of the monasteries, the church was rededicated and renamed St. Saviour (Sugden 335). St. Saviour (Southwark) is visible on the Agas map along New Rents street in Southwark. It is marked with the labelS. Mary Owber.
St. Saviour (Southwark) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Southampton House is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Innholders’ Hall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Herber
The Herber wasa mansion on the east side of Dowgate Street, near to the church of St. Mary Bothaw
(Harben). The derivation of the name is uncertain but Prideaux suggests it is derived fromArbour
while Lappenburg suggests the Frencherbois
orGrasplatz
which means garden (qtd. in Harben). Richard Neville, the Fifth Earl of Salisbury, was lodged there at the beginning of the War of the Roses in 1457 (Harben; Stow 1598, sig. F1v). According to Stow, the Herber was later inhabited by Sir Francis Drake (Stow 1633, sig. Y5r). In modern London, a portion of Canon Street Station stands on the original site (Harben).The Herber is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Mary Bothaw is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bush Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Chequer Inn (Dowgate) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Greenwich Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Joiners’ Hall
Joiners’ Hall was built on the company’s property in Thames Street, some time between 1518 and 1551. See the description of Joiners’ Hall at the company’s website.Joiners’ Hall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Grantam Lane
Running parallel to Dowgate Street, Grantam Lane spanned north to south from Thames Street to the Thames. Stow notes a prominent brewery in the lane (Stow 1598, sig. N4r). By 1677, it came to be known asBrewer’s Lane
(Harben).Grantam Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cousin Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Steelyard
The Steelyard was the chief outpost of the Hanseatic League in the city of London. Located on the north side of the River Thames, slightly west of London Bridge, the Steelyard was home to many wealthy German merchants from the thirteenth century to the end of the sixteenth century. Although it was a powerful economic force in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, by the time of Elizabeth’s reign, piracy and economic sanctions had rendered the once great Steelyard obsolete (Lloyd 344-345).The Steelyard is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Merchants of the Haunce of Almaineʼs Hall
According to Stow, the Merchants of the Haunce of Almaineʼs Hall was located in Thames Street by Cousin Lane and waslarge, builded of Stone, with three arched Gates towards the street
(Stow 1:234).Merchants of the Haunce of Almaineʼs Hall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cheapside Market
In the middle ages, Westcheap was the main market west of Walbrook, so called to distinguish it from Eastcheap, the market in the east. By Stow’s time, the term Westcheap had fallen out of use in place of Cheapside Market. Stow himself, however, continued to use the term to distinguish the western end of Cheapside Street.Cheapside Market is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Windgoose Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
St. Alban (Wood Street) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Church Lane (All Hallows)
This lane near All Hallows the Great is marked on the Agas map asChurch Lane
and called Church Lane by Stow. Carlin and Belcher indicate that this lane was known as both Church Lane and All Hallows Lane (Carlin and Belcher 64).Church Lane (All Hallows) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
All Hallows the Great
All Hallows the Great was a church located on the south side of Thames Street and on the east side of Church Lane. Stow describes it as afaire Church with a large cloyster,
but remarks that it has beenfoulely defaced and ruinated
(Stow 1:235).All Hallows the Great is mentioned in the following documents:
-
All Hallows the Less is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Hayʼs Wharf
Named after its owner, Alexander Hay, Hayʼs Wharf was a granary and brewery located between Tooley Street and the Thames (Hayʼs Wharf).Hayʼs Wharf is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Campion Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Wolsies Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Parish of All Hallows the Less is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Coldharbour
Coldharbour was a mansion dating back to at least the reign of Edward II (Harben). It is not marked on the Agas map, but its location can be discerned from the position of All Hallows the Less. After 1543, the eastern portion of the house was leased to the Watermen’s Company (Harben). It ceased to function as a private residence in 1593 and became a tenement house (Harben). Nevertheless, it remained a distinctive site and is mentioned in dramatic works well into the seventeenth century (Sugden). It was destroyed in the Fire, after which a brewery was built on the site (Harben).Coldharbour is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Westminster is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Charing Cross
Charing Cross was one of twelve memorial crosses erected by King Edward I in memory of his wife, Eleanor of Castile. The cross wasbuilded of stone
andwas of old time a fayre péece of work
(Stow 1598, sig. 2B3r). It stood for three and a half centuries, but by thebeginning of the 17th century [the cross] had fallen into a very ruinous condition
(Sugden). It, as well as the other crosses, was condemned in 1643 and demolished in 1647.Charing Cross is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Dyers’ Hall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Candlewick Street
Candlewick, Candlewright, or, later, Cannon Street, ran east-west from Walbrook Street in the west to the beginning of Eastcheap at its eastern terminus. Candlewick Street became Eastcheap somewhere around St. Clements Lane, and led into a great meat market (Stow 1:217). Together with streets such as Budge Row, Watling Street, and Tower Street, which all joined into each other, Candlewick Street formed the main east-west road through London between Ludgate and Posterngate.Candlewick Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Suffolk Lane
According to Stow, Suffolk Lane ran north-south between Candlewick Street and Thames Street. Our Agas coordinates are based on Stow, who writes that it was positioned between Bush Lane and St. Laurence Lane. Such a lane, though drawn, is not labelled on the Agas map. The Agas map position relative to St. Laurence Poultney Churchyard of this unlabelled lane also accords with Stow’s account of Suffolk Lane. Suffolk Lane is marked on the 1520 map as extending north from Wolsies Lane (A Map of Tudor London, 1520). However, its position on that map does not align with Stow’s account of its position with respect to the St. Laurence Poultney Churchyard.We are awaiting further confirmation of this street’s position.Suffolk Lane 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.
