LAngbourne Ward, so
called, of a long
Boorn of sweet wa
ter, which (of old
time) breaking out
into Fenne-Church-street,
ranne downe
the same street, and
Lombard street, to the West end of S.
Mary Woolnoths Church, where turning
South, and breaking into small shares,
rils or streams, it left the name of Share
borne lane, or Southborne lane, (as I have
read) because it ranne South to the Ri
ver of Thames. This Ward beginneth
at the West end of Ealdgate Ward, in
Fen-Church street, by the Ironmongers
Hall, which is on the North side of that
street, at a place called Culver Alley,
where sometime was a lane, through the
which men went into Limestreet; but
that being long since stopped up,
suspition of Theeves that lurked there
by night, as is shewed in Limestreet
Ward; there is now in this said Alley
a Tennis Court, &c.

Then have ye Lombard street,
led of the Longobards, and other Mer
chants, strangers of divers Nations,
assembling there twise every day, of
what originall, or continuance, I have
not read of record, more than that Ed
ward the second, in the twelfth of his
reigne, confirmed a Messuage sometime
belonging to Robert Turke, abutting on
Lombard street toward the South, and
toward Cornehill on the North, for the
Merchants of Florence: which proveth
that street to have had the name of
Lombard street before the reigne of Ed
ward the second. The meeting of which
Merchants and others there, continued
untill the 22. of December, in the yeere
1568. on the which day, the said Mer
chants began to make their meetings at
the Burse, a place then new builded for
that purpose, in the ward of Cornehill,
and was since by Her Majestie, Queene
Elizabeth, named the Royall Exchange.

This Church was lately new builded.
Iohn Warner, Armorer, and then Grocer,

his sonne Robert Warner, Esquire, fini

terers were Benefactors towards the
North Ile, &c. The Sleeple or Bel-tow
er thereof was finished in the yeere
1544. about the thirty and sixth of Hen
ry the eighth. The faire stone Porch of
this Church, was brought from the late
dissolved Priory of S. Iohn of Ierusalem
by Smithfield, so was the frame of their
Bels; but the Bels being bought, were
never brought thither, by reason that
one old Warner Draper of that Parish de
ceasing, his son Mark Warner would not
performe what his Father had begunne
and appointed; so that faire Steeple

which once broke out of the ground in Fenchurch Street, a street running through the middle of Langbourn Ward (Stow 1603). Thelong borne of ſweete water
no longer existed at the time of Stow’s writing (Stow 1603).Langbourn Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Fenchurch Street
Fenchurch Street (often called Fennieabout) ran east-west from the pump on Aldgate High Street to Gracechurch Street in Langbourne Ward, crossing Mark Lane, Mincing Lane, and Rodd Lane along the way. Fenchurch Street was home to several famous landmarks, including the King’s Head Tavern, where the then-Princess Elizabeth is said to have partaken inpork and peas
after her sister, Mary I, released her from the Tower of London in May of 1554 (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 288). Fenchurch Street was on the royal processional route through the city, toured by monarchs on the day before their coronations.Fenchurch Street 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:
-

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:

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.
