appeareth, that the said Deanry of Saint
Martins had also priviledge of Sanctu

For a larger and more accurate ex

position of these old words, I referre
the Reader to that most elaborate and
diligent Glossary of Sir Henry Spelman,
Knight, the learnedest Antiquary of our
Nation; yea (and in this kind) of all
Europe.

This Deanry, together with the San
ctuary and Priviledges, was after put to
the Abbey of Saint Peters in Westminster:
as appeareth by what next followeth.

A Declaration of William Abbot
of the Monastery of St. Peter
of Westminster, concerning his
title to the Privilege and San
ctuary of St. Martins le grand
in London: with the precincts,
Circuit, and Bounds of the
same.

FIrst the said Abbot saith, That
the free Chappell of St. Martins
le grand in London, and the Pre
cincts of Saint Martins aforesaid, is
a place priviledged: and was founded
and endowed long time before the
Conquest, aswell of possessions, as of
immunities, franchises, and liberties:
and corroborate and inlarged by King
VVilliam the Conquerour, like as it ap
peareth as well by the Charter of the
said King VVilliam the Conquerour; as
by divers other Charters, Writings,
and Records.

Item, the said King William the Con
querour granted by his Charter to the
same place of Saint Martins, divers li
berties and franchises, by speciall and
generall words, aswell in the Latine
tongue as Saxon. And over that gran
ted to the said place of Saint Martins,
all other liberties, immunities, and cu
stomes, which any Church of this
Realme, best had. Which grant im
porteth and includeth in himselfe as
great priviledges, franchises, and immu
nities, as VVestminster, Beverlay, or any
other place priviledged, hath within
the Realme. And also the said words
in Saxon, importeth such sentence. That
the said place should bee a Sanctuary
franchised, priviledged, and have tui
tion and immunities of all those per
sons, which for treason, felonies, tres
passes, or any other cause, should flee
to the same or abide therein. Which
franchises, priviledge, tuition, and im
munities, the said place hath alway
peaceably had and enjoyed, from the
said Conquerours dayes unto this pre
sent time.

Item, the said franchises, immunities,
and priviledges, of Saint Martins, have
beene corroborate, confirmed, allowed
and enlarged, by King Henry the first,
King Stephen, Henry the second, King
Iohn, King Henry the third, King Edward
the second, King Edward the third, Ri
chard the second, Henry the fifth, Hen
ry the sixth, and in all other Kings times
sithence the Conquest: as by divers
Charters and Allowances before Ju
stices of Oyer and Determiner, Writings
and Records, more plainely at large is
shewed, and may appeare.

Item, it appeareth by divers Returnes
made by the Sheriffes of London, aswell
in the Kings Bench, the Common Pleas,
and all other the Kings Courts, that
the said place of Saint Martins, is a
place priviledged, and Sanctuary: as
by the same Returnes remaining of Re
cord, more plainely may appeare.

Item, the said Abbot saith, That the
Precinct, Circuit, and Bounds of the
priviledge and Sanctuary aforesaid, be
and extend, as hereafter followeth.

Imprimis, beginning at a wall lying
directly against a Poast that standeth
in the midst of one Roger VVrights a
Grocers house, which standeth of the
East side of the south gate of St. Mar
tins: and from the wall in the said Gro
cers house, with the halfe-deale of the
street unto the chancell of the same side
that house standeth upon, Sanctuary.
And so forth from the East Westward
unto the middest of Saint Martins lane
next to the Chappell of Saint Martins,
against the Tenement of the Bulls head,
which Tenement lieth at the south end
of the said lane on the West part.

Item, halfe part of the streete of St.
Martins lane, Sanctuary, from the south
unto the North, as farre forth as the
houses appertaining to the Bull-head do
extend Northwards.

Item, from the said place of the Buls
head, then the whole lane of St. Mar

tins,

4I3r

921

Sanctuary on both sides, unto a
Post or Stoope that standeth of the
North side or end of the two Tene
ments, standing by the great gate next
going into the Deanes Court.

Item, from the said Saint Martins
Lane, at the aforesaid Buls head, tur
ning by a wall that divideth the said
Tenement of the Bulls head, and Saint
Martins ground: Which wall turneth
and extendeth from the East West
wards, unto a backe wall that closeth
in Saint Martins ground of the West
side: all within the said Wall, San
ctuary.

Item, along by the same backe wall,
that closeth in the West part of Saint
Martins ground, from the South end of
the said wall into the North, unto a wall
that divideth my Lord of Northumber
lands ground, and Saint Martins ground
from the South end; all within the a
foresaid Walls, Sanctuary: and so forth
from the South side into the North
my Lord of Northumberlands ground,
Sanctuary; along by a backe wall of
the Grey Fryars: which backe wall clo
seth in my Lord of Northumberlands
ground of the West part, unto the
North part of Angell Alley, abutting
Northwards upon the South side of
Robert Bowmans house, into the Street
wards. And so Sanctuary still, from
the said backe wall of Grey Fryars, a
long by the Angell Alley, and by the
South part of the said Robert Bowmans
house, from the West unto the East,
untill you come to a Post or Stoope
standing on the North part of the two
Tenements next lying on the North
side of a great gate entring into the
Deanes Court.

Item, from the same Post or Stoope
before rehearsed, standing North from
the great gate of the said Deanes
Court directly Eastwards, by the
North part of a Tenement, with the
same Tenement inclosed (as by the
wall there it sheweth) Sanctuary:
which Tenement is now in the hands
of one Hugh Payne.

Item, from the aforesaid wall, along
from the North, Southward unto Hugh
Paynes dwelling house; and from thence
by the North side of the said Hugh
Paynes Garden, Sanctuary still; from
the West unto the East part thereof.

Item, againe from the North side of
the above rehearsed Hugh Paynes Gar
den Southward, unto the Deanes Gar
den, Sanctuary.

Item, along by the wall on the North
side of the Deanes Garden, from the
West into the East thereof, San
ctuary.

Item, from the North unto the South,
of the East part of the aforesaid Deanes
Garden, with Saint Leonards Church,
Sanctuary, as by a wall it there shew
eth.

Item, from the East end of Saint
Leonards Church, Westwards of the
South of Saint Martins, unto the Bell-Alley,
Sanctuary, as appeareth also
thereby another wall.

Item, from the Bell-Alley South
wards, unto the wall spoken of at the
beginning, which is within the Gro
cers house, against the Post that stan
deth within the middest of the same
house. And so forth directly againe
unto the Chanell of the high street,
that lyeth afore the South gate of Saint
Martins: all within the bounds reher
sed, Sanctuary.

Item, by a Statute made in the yeere
of King Edward the third, it is affir
med, The said place of Saint Martins
to bee a place franchised and priviled
ged, having tuition and immunity, in
manner and forme as is above rehear
sed. And in speciall, and for them that
come in thither for Debt, Treason, and
Felony. In proofe whereof, the Iudge
that sitteth there for the King, as in a
place not of the City, but by priviledge
seperate, (the Maior not called there
to, as he is to the deliverance of New
gate, and other such Acts in the City)
to have knowledge there in a case of
Treason or Felony, hath ever, from
time that no minde is, sitten in the
gate of the said Sanctuary. And the
person appeached or endited of Trea
son or Felony, hath beene kept by the
Officers on the further side of the street
afore him, to the intent that he come
not of the other side of the Chanell to
wards the Sanctuary there, to claime
the liberty and Franchises of the same.

Item, wheras divers Kings of this land,
for causes such as moved them, have

seazed

4I3v

922

seazed into their hands the Franchises
and Liberties that the City of London
had, by reason whereof they were not
suffered to use or enjoy the said Fran
chises, for as long as it hath liked unto
the said Kings: yet the said Chappell
of Saint Martins le grand, in the said
City of London, with the Precinct of
the same, at the said times of such sea
sing of the aforesaid Franchises; was
afore and since alwayes a place privi
ledged, without any disturbance, di
minishing, or taking away by the said
Kings, or by their Ministers: and peace
ably used and enjoyed their Franchi
ses, Liberties, and immunities, within
the Sanctuary and Precinct of Saint
Martins, as in a place excepted and
priviledged, and no wayes pertaining
unto the said City, ne parcell thereof,
though it be set within the same.

And moreover, the said Abbot saith,
that the said Church or Chappell of
Saint Martins, within the said Sanctu
ary and Precinct of the same; were of
late by the late King of famous memo
ry, King Henry the seventh, lawfully
annexed and given to the said Mona
stery of Saint Peter of Westminster; at
which time, and times without mind
of man before that, the said Chappell,
and Precinct, circuit and bounds of the
said Sanctuary, comprized within the
Limits above rehearsed, were used,
allowed, and taken, and yet be, as San
ctuary.

Thus farre the Abbot of Westminsters
declaration, at which time (as it ap
peareth) there fell out so much conte
station, concerning the Precincts of this
Sanctuary, that the matter was faine
to be tried by ancient sworne men de
posed in Court as Witnesses. Some
of their Depositions are come to my
hands, which I here give you: the rest
(and the beginning) have miscarried.

Item, the said Henry Williamson de
poseth for the claimed bounds, and al
so for the priviledge of Sanctuary men,
in the halfe Street and Lane next to
Saint Martins; and for the setting up
of the Gallowes on Evill May day; and
for the removing thereof, as others
therein before have deposed.

Item, Ralfe Twyn deposeth, all whol
ly the claimed bounds to be Sanctuary;
and also the setting up of the Gallowes,
and removing of the same, and the
Pavement, to bee done by the Abbot:
and that he knew one Bland privileged
both for Treason and Murther, ever
used to walke in the street claimed as
Sanctuary, without any disturbance.

Item, William Bayley deposeth, all the
claimed bounds, and also the sitting of
the Iustices in the South gate: and that
he heard the Iustices say, that halfe the
street against the said gate was Sanctu
ary: and that there was persons then
arraigned, and others therein depo
sed: and that he knew the said Bland
priviledged for Treason and Fellony,
to dwell in Angell Alley: and that the
Abbot ought to make the Pavement,
as others have deposed there.

Item, Iohn Smith, Clerke, deposeth
for all the claimed bounds: and fur
ther saith, that hee knew Doctor Mor
ton, and also the Cardinall Morton to
lye there, one in Roger Wrights house,
and the other in Angell Alley, they both
being priviledged for Treason. And
also he supposeth both Angell Alley and
Bland Alley, to be holden of Saint Mar
tins by certaine Rent, as parcell of the
Earle of Northumberlands Tenements.
And also for the Pavement, as others
before have deposed.

At this time (I suppose) was there a
Survey or Plat of the Precinct, exhibi
ted into the Court of Chancery, where
it appeareth these Witnesses to have
beene deposed. The figure of which
Plat we here exhibite unto you.

It seemes that there hath beene
some latter differences about
a new doore into the Liber
ties of the Freedome;

Saint Mar
tins le grand▪

where
upon a Court being called,
December 20. 1625. this Or
der was given out, to bee en
quired upon and certified.

It is ordered by the Court, that the
Foreman of the Enquest, with
others of the same Enquest, shall
view the South gate and Entry
leading from Bladder street in
to this Liberty: and also a doore
made by Thomas Rodes in the
East side of the same Entrey; and
make their reports under their
bands in writing, on Monday
next after the Epiphany.

ACcording to the direction of
the Order abovesaid, we whose
names are under written, being
all of the Enquest sworne for this yeere,
having viewed the Gate and Entry,
doe find, and accordingly certifie, that
Thomas Rodes, a Linnen-Draper, dwel
ling in a house next adjoyning to the
said Entry, on the East side thereof,
(in part of which house Roger Wright did
sometimes dwell) hath of late, without
the privity or knowledge of most of
the Inhabitants of this Liberty, taken
downe, or caused to bee taken downe
and carried away, a paire of strong, suf
ficient, and serviceable gates, in the
night time; which were, and time out
of mind have bin, the common South
gate of this Liberty. And in stead ther
of, hath set up a new gate of Deale,
opening all one way, viz. towards the
West side; whereas the former paire of
Gates or Leaves did fall open, the one
towards the East side, and the other to
wards the West side of the said Entry.
Also the said Thomas Rodes hath bro
ken downe the partition wall on the
East side of the said Entry; against
which, one Leafe of the said old Gate
did fall open, as aforesaid: and hath
there made a new doore (where never
any was before, in the memory of man)
of almost an Ell in breadth, out of the
said Shop, into the said Entry or com
mon passage into this Liberty. Wher
by a free and open passage is made out
of the City of London, thorow the shop
of the said Rodes into this Liberty; to
the great prejudice of the Lords of the
same Liberty, and to the great hinde
rance and damage of the Tenants and
Inhabitants within the same. In wit
nesse whereof wee have hereunto sub
scribed our names, dated the 9. day
of Ianuary, Anno Dom. 1625.

Notes upon this Deed.

These were Maior and Sheriffes,
Anno 1253. which was the thirty
eighth yeere of Henry the third. Out
of this so ancient a Deed, may wee
observe, first, That by the bounding of
this Land, betwixt the streete and the
City wall, towards the West; that
this was that ground which is now
Lambes Chappell yard. Secondly, by the
assigning the latter Candle to bee paid
to the Chappell, upon Saint Iames his
day; that it was meant to this Lambes
Chappell: which was anciently called,
The Chappell of Saint Iames in the wall.
Vpon whose Festivall, this Chappell
seemes to have beene dedicated: and
to honour the solemnity of which Wake,
the Gentleman directed this Candle to
be yeerely paid.

The Originall of this Deed in Latin,
is in the hands of that most Learned
Antiquary of our dayes Sir Henry Spel
man Knight.

IN the times of King Knowt (or Ka

were there thir

both of King and Kingdome. These
begged of the Kings Grace, a certaine
piece of Land in the East part of Lon

forsaken, by reason of the hardship *

and service they there stood charged
withall. The Knights suit for to have
this Land granted unto them for ever,
with the liberty of a Guild upon it, the
King upon this condition granted:
Namely, that every one of them should
performe three combats upon the land,
and in the water; and come off with
victory: and also, that upon a day ap
pointed, they should runne at Tilt a
gainst all commers, in the field which
is now called East Smithfield. This they
having performed gloriously, the King
gave them the field, and the same day
named it Knytte-guilden;

These were En

tings it is called An

appointing
these Boundaries unto it. First, that it
should reach from Ealdgate to the place
where the Barres now are, Eastward on
both sides the Towne. He extended it
another way toward Bishopsgate, as farre
as the house of William the Priest. To
the Southward, the liberties of this
Guild reached so farre into the water of
the Thames, as a horseman riding into
the River at a dead low water, could
dart his horsemans staffe from him. So
that all East Smithfield, with part of
the right hand way, which stretcheth,
by Doddings pond into the Thames; and
also the Hospitall of Saint Katharines,
with the Mills, (which Hospitall was
founded in the reigne of King Stephen)
together with the outer stone wall, and
the new Ditch of the Tower, stand and

were not as yet
made; but were afterwards, in the ve
ry time that King Richard the first was
at Ierusalem. Which was done by the
Bishop of Ely, the Kings Justice over all
the Kingdome. The occasion was, a
difference betwixt Earle Iohn the Kings
Brother, and the chiefe Iustice. By the
digging of this Ditch in the ground of
East Smithfield, did the Church of the
Holy Trinity in London lose half a Marke
a yeere revenue; and the Mill which
belonged unto the poore Brotherhood
of the Hispitall of Saint Katharines, and
unto the Churches of Saint Katharines,
and of the Holy Trinity altogether, was
faine to be removed, to their no little
hindrance. A Garden also which the
King had hired of the Brotherhood a
foresaid, at the rent of sixe Markes a
yeere, was for the most part destroyed
also by the said Ditch. Recompence
was often sued for, but not made very
speedily, though promised faithfully.
Afterwards, King Edward gave five
Markes and an halfe unto the poore
Brotherhood, for that part of their Gar
den which the Ditch had destroyed,
and that part which it had not, hee re
stored unto them againe, which they
hold unto this day. As for their Rent of
five Markes and a halfe, hee gave them
his Charter, by which they receive it
very duly either out of the Exchequer
or the Hanaper, even untill this present.

This Guild was by divers Kings af
terwards confirmed. And first by Ed
ward the Confessor, then by King Willi

us, and to those poore peo
ple: for which, though recompence
hath beene often promised, yet have
we hitherto received no satisfaction.

More concerning this matter, out of a french
Record in Booke H. folio 199. and in
Booke Dunthorne, folio 88. Which is
a desire of the Master of Saint Kathe
rines Hospitall, to have leave of the Ci
ty to enclose a certaine peece of ground
neere the Tower of London.

It was told unto the Maior, Alder
men, and Commonalty, how that Iohn
Hermesthorpe, Master of Saint Kathe
rines Hospitall, by the Tower of Lon
don, had a certaine peece of Land,
which had somewhile beene a portion
of the Garden of his Hospitall; which
portion King Edward, sonne to King
Henry, had purchased of those of the
said Hospitall, for the enlargement of
the Tower Ditch; for which hee paid
unto the Master, Brothers, and Sisters
of the said Hospitall, 3. li. 13. s. 4. d.
yeerely for ever: and that the said Hos
pitall had received the said Rent ever
since the time of the Purchase. This
place indeed, had heretofore laine void
and waste, and had beene of no profit to
any; serving onely for a resort or mee
ting place of Rogues and Women of ill
conversation. For the restraining of
which naughtinesse and pilferies, the
said Iohn had againe purchased it of
King Edward the third, of whom he had
received licence to enclose the said void
peece for the benefit of his Hospitall:
he paying to the King and his Heires,
into their Exchequer, vj. s. viij. d. for
ever. By vertue of which Licence, the
said Master had already begunne to
enclose the said void Plat of ground.
This the Maior, &c. hearing of, sent to
forbid the enclosure of; affirming, that
the said Plat belonged unto the Com
monalty of the City of London: where
upon the Master forbare to proceede
further for sixe or eight yeeres toge
ther.

At the end of this terme, the said
Master made sure unto the Maior and
Commonalty, that they would please
to give him leave to enclose the said
place, were it but onely to prevent and
take away the Villanies which he affir
med to be there committed: for which
courtesie he then promised, that him
selfe, and all the Brothers and Sisters
of the said Hospitall, would particu
larly, and in especiall manner, pray
for the good estate of the City; and
be willing moreover to pay some small
yeerely Rent unto the Chamber of
Guihald, London, for ever. To this suit
the Maior, Aldermen, and Commo
nalty consented: and further made
choice of some certaine Aldermen and
Commoners, who should take a view
of this, and other void places belong
ing to the City, and make report to
them, &c.

To prove that the Hospitall of Saint Ka
therines, with the Mils, and all that
belong to it, together with the Tower
Ditch, all East-Smithfield without
the Posterne, before the Abbey of
Grace, with the right hand part of the
street leading along by Duddings
Pond, are, and time out of minde have
beene within the Liberty of the City of
London, and parcell of Portsoken
Ward without Algate, in the Sub
urbes.

I finde two seve
rall Co
pies of this: one in Booke Dunthorne, fol. 80. & another in Booke K. fol. 56.

The Maior and Commonalty of the
City of London affirme, that in the time
of the Conquerour, and long before,
the said Ward of Portsoken, was called
the Ward of Anglish Knightgilden. And
that afterwards, about the eighth of

King

4I6v

928

King Henry the first, Ralfe the sonne of
Algode, Wolfard le Deverish, Otgar le
Prude, with divers other substantiall
Citizens of London, descended of the
ancient race of the English Knights,
being Lords of the Liberty of the said
Guild, in the Soken aforesaid, and were
seazed of all the Lands in the said Soken
(as by the Charter of the said King
Henry it appeareth) did bequeath the
said Soken and Lands, unto the Church
and Canons of the Holy Tinity, within
Algate, London. Which gift the said K.
Henry, by his Charter (which the Maior
and Commonalty have here to shew)
also confirmed. Vpon pretext of which
Gift and Confirmation, Norman, at
that time Prior, and the Covent of
the Church aforesaid, as also their Suc
cessors, stood a long time possessed.
Afterwards, among other things, Ralfe
the Prior, with the Canons of the said
Church, did grant unto Maud Queene
of England, Wife to King Stephen, a
certaine parcell of Land in the said
Soken (the very same, namely, upon
which the said Hospitall of Saint Ka
therines is now founded) together with
all the Mill there in the *

* In Escam
bio.

Shambles, in
lieu of sixe yard land in the Mannor
of Bracching, in the County of Hert
ford: even as by two Patents of the
said King and Queene made upon that
occasion, it manifestly is declared.
Moreover they affirme, That whereas
the Lord Edward the first, sometimes
King of England, had not any piece of
ground of his owne proper Lands neere
enough unto his Tower of London,
whereupon to build up his Wall, and
to make his Ditch about the Tower,
which he purposed to doe a new; hee
purchased of the Master, Brethren, and
Sisters of the Hospitall of Saint Kathe
rines by the Tower aforesaid, a certaine
Plat of ground with the appurtenan
ces in East Smithfield, adjoyning unto
the Tower, both for the laying of the
Sand, Gravell, and Marle, which
should be digged out of the Ditch, and
that which should serve for the repai
ring of the Wall aforesaid. And that
he paid unto the Master, Brothers, and
Sisters aforesaid, five Markes, sixe shil
lings and nine pence, both for the pur
chase of the said Plat, and the recom
pence of their losse long since sustai
ned, by the enlargement of the Ditch,
and reparation of the Wall aforesaid:
which hee caused for himselfe and his
Successors to be yeerely payable out of
the Exchequer. Which five Markes
sixe shillings nine pence, the Masters,
Brothers, and Sisters (for the time be
ing) of the said Hospitall, have ever
since the said Grant received, and doe
actually at this present receive it by
vertue of the said Patent, which they
now have by them, &c. the Copy
whereof was entered upon Record in
the Chamber of *

* This is severall times written Ginhald.

Guildhall; and ac
knowledged by them before Nicholas
Brembre, then Maior, and the Alder
men. They affirme also, that in the
fourteenth yeere of King Edward the
second, at such time as he held Assises
in the said Tower; it was proved, that
the said Ward of Portsoken, (hereto
fore called English Knightgeld) was in
and of the Liberties of London; and
that, so often as any Taxe was to bee
raised for the King, or to bee assessed
for the Commonalty of London, upon
the Commoners of the said City, or
that any other Assessement was to bee
made by the said Commonalty, either
for the raising of some Wall, making
of any enclosure, or for the defence of
the City: that all the people inha
biting the said Ward, were accusto
med to pay the said Taxes, like other
Freemen of the City; and the said
Assessements were wont to bee levied
upon them, as upon other Freemen of
the City, like as by the Transcript of
the Rolls of the said *

* In itinere.

Assizes of the
Kings, now remaining in the Treasury
of the Guildhall of the same City, most
clearely it appeareth.

They further affirme, that the Lord
Edward the third, late King of England,
Progenitor of our Lord the King that
now is, in the seventeenth yeere of his
Reigne, directed by his *

* Per breve suum.

Letter unto
Iohn Hamond, at that time Maior of his
City of London, and his Majesties Es
cheator in the same: in which Letters
he made rehearsall of all the former bu
sinesse concerning the Wall and Ditch
of the Tower, made in his Grandfa
thers time. Hee rehearsed also, how
Ralfe of Sandwich, and Iohn de Weston, late

4K1r

929

late Constables of the Tower, did let
out the same place by parcels unto di
vers men, without leave or licence had
therefore, either from the Kings his
Grand-father, Fathers, or Himselfe;
and that the said place was then buil

and rented out for 40. s. a
yeere, and that himselfe had given out
Commissions to enquire upon the rea
sons, manner, right, and valew of
every thing, &c. And that the said
Iohn Hamond making enquiry hereup
on, made returne of all into the Chan
cery, &c.

They affirme moreover, that all the
Lands and Tenents, upon the fore
said right hand of the way by Duddings
Pond, and about the said places of East
Smithfield, Tower-hill, and Romeland,
circularly situated, were and have
beene in the time of the holding the
Assises of the said King, impleaded and
sued within the said City, and not else
where; as by the evidences of the said
Lands and Tenents, upon Record
enrolled in the Guildhall, &c. appea
reth.

They further say, That in the
times of all the former Kings and Assi
zes (time out of minde) so often as any
mis-hap or casualty, such as Murther,
Drowning, or other indirect death of
any person, in any of the places fore
mentioned, hath fallen out, upon which
there was any enquiry to be taken, or
any Summons, Attachment, or Exe
cution to bee made in any of the said
places: yea, and which more is, even
within the Tower it selfe, and at such
time as the King (now and then) hath
beene present, have the Sheriffes, Co
roners, and other Officers of the said
City of London for the time being, and
no other, used to make such Quests of
Enquiry, Summons, Attachments, and
Executions, and had right so to doe:
as it is most manifestly to be proved by
divers Rolls of the Crowne, and other
Records of the times aforesaid, now
being in the sayd Treasury.

They say moreover, that amongst
other Liberties granted by the Kings
Predecessors unto the Citizens of Lon
don, and ratified in divers Parliaments,
this expressely is one, That no Arrest,
Attachment, or Execution, bee made
by any Officers of the Kings within the
said Liberty, either by Writ or with
out Writ, but onely by the Officers of
the City. By all which Charters, Let
ters, Patents, Bills, Acts of Assize,
Writs, Enquests, Returnes, Rolls of
the Escheators, and Crowne Office,
Assizes, Pleadings, Enrollments, Free
domes, and most plentifull other kinds
of Records and Proofes, it may easily
and undoubtedly be concluded, That
the said Hospitall of Saint Katherines,
with the Mills and other its appurte
nances, as also the whole Tower Ditch,
with all the Lands of East Smithfield
without the Posterne, before the Abby
of Grace, together with the right side
of the street going by Duddings Pond,
as also the whole Ditch and Plaine
without the Tower, within the Po
sterne, called Romeland, with all the
Houses and Gardens round about
them, have all the time aforesaid, bin
within the compasse of the Liberty of
the City.

The selfe same Copy of what is last
above, is something differently recor
ded also in Booke Dunthorne, fol. 84.
the different poynts whereof, not men
tioned in this former, I have tran
scribed.

That the Hospitall, Ditch, and the
Tower hill, are of the Parish of Saint
Botolphs Algate, and parcell of Port
soken Ward. That another part, by
Romeland and the Thames, towards the
Posterne, by Saint Katherines Hospi
tall, were of the Parish of Alhallowes
Berking, and of the Ward of the Tower
of London. That Queene Maud was
the Foundresse of Trinity Church with
in Algate; that the Ditch begunne
by the Citizens in Richard the firsts
time, was for the defence of the City.
That there is another Soken within the
Walls of the City, called the Inner
Soken,

Cinigate; which Soken is within
the Liberties of the City, as by some
Records kept by the Prior doth ap
peare. That the Inhabitants of Port
soken and the Tower, are to be implea
ded onely in the Courts of the City,
for all Matters, Causes, and Contracts
howsoever arising. That the Tower

hath

930

hath no proper Court of its owne, but
onely the Court of the Baron, which is
no Court of Record; as by Records ex
emplified in the Kings Bench it appea
reth. That when any murther or drow
ning hath beene within the said Hospi
tall or Tower, the City Officers have
attached the Malefactors within the
Tower, notwithstanding that the King
himselfe sometimes hapned to be pre
sent within the said Tower, and have
carried the said men so arrested into
some of the Kings Prisons within the
City. That when the Iustices Itine
rant have used to come to keepe Assi
zes in the Tower, the Officers of the
City have had the keeping both of the
inner and outer Gates of the said Tow
er; and that nothing was executed
within the Tower, which pertained to
the office of a *

Sergeant perchance

* servant, but by the ser
vants of the City. That the Sheriffe
of London hath had the charge of all
the Prisons in the Tower, so often as
the said Iustices itinerant have comne
thither: as appeares in many Rolls of
Pleas of the Crowne, and of the said
Itinerant Iustices.

By another short Record in the said
Dunthorne,

fol. 85. it is specified, That
if any were murthered within the
Tower, or drowned in the Tower
Ditch, or in the Gate, called The Wa

himselfe were there present, yet have
the City Sheriffe and Coroner sitten
upon the dead body, and empanelled
their Iuries.

The Letter or Commission of King
Edward, unto Iohn Hamond Maior of
London, before mentioned, is to bee
seene in Dunthorne, fol. 87. Tis dated
at Westminst. Octo. 21. in the 17. yeere
of his Reigne over England, and over

Of the founding of Trinity Church within Aldgate,

was
the Church of the holy Trinity,
within Aldgate, London, founded by
the Venerable Lady, Maud, Wife
unto the said King, by the perswasion
of Archbishop Anselme. It was given
unto Norman, who became the first
Prior not onely there, and first Canon
Regular of the whole Kingdome. For
by him was all England (saith my Re
cord) adorned with the Rule of Saint
Augustine, and the Canonicall habit
of that Order. Which Order, by the
gathering together of many Fryers in
to that Church, was the number of
those that praised God day and night
so much increased, that the whole City
was much delighted with the sight of
it. Insomuch, that in the yeere of our
Lord, 1125. certaine Burgesses of the
City, descended of the ancient race of
the English Knights; by name, Ralfe
the sonne of Algode, Wolsard le Deve
rish, Orgar le Prude, Edward Vpcernhill,
Blacstan, and his Cosin Alwin, Alwis
and Robert his brother, sonnes of Leo
stan, Leostan the Goldsmith, and Wyzo
his sonne, Hugh the sonne of Wolgare,
Algar Secusenne, Orgar the sonne of
Dereman, Osbert Drinchepyn, and Ade
lardus Hornpite, meeting together in
the Chapter of the Church of Christ,
which is situated within the Walls of
the City neere Aldgate, freely gave un
to the said Church, and unto the Ca
nons serving God, all that Land and
Soken, which was called Anglish Cnith

gilda,

which lies by the wall of the City
without Aldgate, and reaches into the
Thames. They gave it, I say, themselves
becomming Fryars, and partaking of the
benefits of that place, by the hand of
Norman the Prior, who received them
into the Society, as he had done others
before them; by an oath taken upon the
Text of the Gospell.

And to the intent that this gift of
theirs might stand firme and unchang
able; they surrendred up (among other
Writings which they had for it) the
Charter of St. Edward. After which,
they gave the Prior seisin and possessi
on of the said Land, by *

the Church of
Saint Botolph which had beene builded
upon the same, and was the head of it.
All this was done before these Witnes
ses, Bernard, Prior of Dunstaple, Iohn
Prior of Landa, and divers others French
and English people. The said Donors
hereupon, sent one of their owne Com
pany (Ordgar le Prude by name) unto
King Henry, with their petition, that
hee would bee pleased to give his con
sent and confirmation to their said gift;
Whereupon, the King very willingly
allowed the said Land and Soken unto
the Church; and to be free and acquit
ted from all service to himself, as franck
Almes ought to be: which he thus con
firmed by his Charter.

Notes upon the foresaid Charters.

First, observe the time of the building
of Saint Botolphs Church without Ald
gate, which was about the age of the
Conquerour. So much wee know by
this; that it was builded betwixt the
time of Canutus, and Henry the firs;t.
Adde this to page 118.

Secondly, whereas the Kings write
to the Barons of London; know what
Mathew Paris in his Henry the third
sayes, that the Citizens of London, both
for their antiquity and the honour of
the City, were called Barons. But they
were onely the principall Citizens that
had this title. The chiefe men of the
City, whom we now call Barons, were
heretofore stiled Captaines. They were
the Kings Free Tenants, priviledged
all over England. Sometimes the Kings
Writs were directed to the Sheriffe
and Barons of London. The Church al
so had its Barons or Free Tenants; and
divers other Cities of England. See for
this word, in Sir Henry Spelmans Glos
sary.

Thirdly, observe London and Mid
dlesex to be in those dayes joyned toge
ther, as in King Henries Charter.

licence unto the said Inhabitants, upon
their owne proper costs and charges to

this Court by the Wardens of the Dy

a lane in the Ward of Downegate, cal

ground. For this, a search was made in
the Bookes and Records of the City;
by which it appeared, that the said lane
was the common Lane of the City, and
not severall to them. And so they were
answered by the Court.

Of Leaden Hall. To be in
serted page 206. Columne 2.
after Chamber of London.

AT a Common Councell, holden
September 28. Anno 10. Henry
8. was there a Petition exhibi
ted, to the Right Honourable the Mai
or, and his Worshipfull Brethren the
Aldermen, and to the discreet Com
moners in this Common Councell as
sembled.

Meekely beseeching and shewing
unto your Lordship and Masterships,
divers and many Citizens of this Ci
ty, which with your favours under
correction thinke, that the great place
called Leaden Hall, should nor ought
not to be letten to farme to any person
or person; and in especiall, to any Fel
lowship or Company incorporate, to
have and to hold the same Hall for
terme of yeeres; for such inconveni
ences as may thereby insue and come,
to the hurt of the Common weale of
the same City in time to come. As
somewhat more largely may appeare
in the Articles hereafter following.

1 If any Assembly or hasty gathe
ring of the Commons of the said City,

The uses of Leaden-Hall.

for oppressing or subduing of mis-ruled
people within the said City, hereafter
shall happen to bee called or comman
ded by the Maior, &c. there is none so
convenient, meet, and necessary place
to assemble them in within the said
City, as the said Leaden Hall; both for
largenesse of roome, and for their City
defence in time of their counselling to
gether about the Premises. Also in
that place hath beene used the Artil
lery, Gunnes, and other common Ar
mors of the said City, safely to be kept
in a readinesse for the safegard, wealth,
and defence of the City, to be had and
occupied at times when need required.
And also, the Store of Timber for the
necessary reparations of the Tenements
belonging to the Chamber of the said
City, there commonly hath beene
kept.

2 Item, if any Triumph or Noblesse
were to bee done or shewed by the
Commonalty of this City for the ho
nour of our Soveraigne Lord the King,
or Realme, and for the Worship of
the said City, the same Leaden Hall is
a most meet place to prepare and or
der the same Triumph therein, and
from thence to issue forth to the places
thereto appointed.

3 Item, at every Largesse or Dole
of Money made unto the poore people

4K4v

936

of this City, by or after the death of
any Worshipfull person within the
said City, it hath beene used to bee
done and given in the said Leaden hall,
for that the said place is most meete
therefore.

4 Item, the honourable Father that
was maker of the said Hall, had a spe
ciall intent, will, and minde (as it is
commonly said) that the Market men
and women that came to the City with
Victuall and other things, should have
their free standing within the said Lea
den hall in wet weather, to keepe them
selves and their Wares dry, and there
by to encourage them and all other to
have the better will and desire, the
more plenteously to resort to the said
City to Victuale the same. And if the
said Hall should be letten to farme, the
Will of the said Honourable Father
should never be fulfilled nor take effect.

5 Item, if the said place (which is
the chiefe Fortresse, and most necessa
ry place within all this City, for the tu
ition and safegard of the same) should
be letten to farme out of the hands of
the chiefe heads of the same City, and
especially to another body politike, it
might at length (by likelihood) be the
occasion of discord and debate, be
tweene the said bodies politicke, which
God defend, &c.

For these and many other great and
reasonable causes, which hereafter shall
be shewed to this honourable Court,
your said beseechers thinke much ne
cessary, that the said Hall be still in the
hands of the City, and to be surely kept
by discreet & sad Officers: in such wise
that it may alwayes be ready to be used
and occupied for the common Weale
of the said City, when need shall re
quire, and in no case to bee letten out
to any body Politicke.

This Petition was granted.

Of the new Seale of the
Bridge-house.

AT a Common Councell, Iuly
14. Anno 33. Henry 8. It was
ordered that the Seale of the
Bridge-house should bee changed, be
cause the Image of Thomas Becket,
sometimes Archbishop of Canterbury
was graven therein. And a new Seale
to be made, to bee devised by Master
Hall, to whom the old Seale was de
livered.

Note, This was occasioned by a Pro
clamation, which commanded the
names of the Pope and Thomas of Becket
to be put out of all Bookes and Monu
ments; which is the reason that you
shall see them so blotted out, in all old
Chronicles, Legends, Primers, and
Service bookes printed before those
times.

Of the priviledge of Saint
Bartholomewes Hospitall. To
be inserted, Pag. 345.

AT a Common Councell, Tues
day Iuly 19. 33. Henry 8. The
most gracious Letters Patents
of King Edward the second, made and
granted to S. Bartholomewes Hospitall
in Smithfield, were allowed; for and
concerning such Priviledges as they
doe claime thereby at this present
time. Which is, that none of the Offi
cers or Ministers of the City, should
doe or execute any Arrest within the
Precinct of the said Hospitall, and that
the Arrest made by Vnderhill (one of
my Lord Maiors Servants) upon Alice
Browne, shall be discharged, &c.

Also at a Common Councell, Au
gust 1. the sixth of Edward the sixth, it
was enacted, that the Lord Maior and
Aldermen should have leave to breake
downe a piece of the City Wall be
hind Christ Church, for the making of
a doore or passage thorow the said
Wall, for the Governours of the house
of the poore, of the Foundation of King
Henry the 8. in West Smithfield, and o
ther Citizens, to goe to and from the
same house, unto and from the house
ordained by the City for the reliefe of
the poore, called The house of Worke,

pers of the same, who hiring the house
of the Goldsmiths Company, would
not (many times) suffer the Sheriffes
of London (who stand charged with
the Prisoners) to use them so well as
they had purposed: whereby the City
hath beene slandered, Law and good
orders broken, and poore Prisoners too
much abused. Therefore was the Pri
son removed to a house belonging to
the City, situate in great Woodstreet,
where the Sheriffe and his Officers
were to keepe their Courts, &c. as they
had before used in Breadstreet. At
which time it was also enacted; that
