Bridges of this Citie.
THe originall founda
tion of London bridge,
by report of Bartho
lomew Linsted, alias
Fowle, last Prior of
Saint Mary Overees
Church in South
warke, was this: A Ferry being kept in
the place where now the Bridge is buil
ded, at length the Ferry-man and his
wife deceasing, left the same Ferry to
their onely Daughter, a Maiden, na
med Mary, which with the goods left
her by her parents, as also with the
profits rising of the said Ferry, builded
an House of Sisters, in place where
now standeth the East part of Saint
Mary Overees Church, above the
Queere, where shee was buried, unto
which house shee gave the oversight
and profits of the Ferry. But afterward,
the said House of Sisters being conver
ted into a Colledge of Priests, the
Priests builded the Bridge of Timber,
as all other the great Bridges of this
Land were, and from time to time
kept the same in good reparations;
till at length, considering the great
charges which were bestowed in the re
pairing the same, there was (by ayd of
the Citizens and others) a Bridge buil
ded with stone, as shall be shewed.

tizens manfully defended themselves,
and their King Ethelred, so as part of
their enemies were slaine in battaile,
and part of them were drowned in the
River of Thames, because in their hastie
rage they tooke no heed of the Bridge.

in London to build on, the profits thereof

A Mason, being Master-workman of
the Bridge, builded (from the foundati

was then endowed for two Priests, foure
Clarkes, &c. besides Chanteries; since
founded by Iohn Hatfield, and others.
After the finishing of this Chappell,
which was the first building upon those
Arches, sundry houses (at times) were
erected, and many charitable men gave

the Bridge, either to extinguish and
quench it, or else to gaze and behold it;
suddenly the North part,
of the South wind, was also set on fire,
and the people which were even now
passing the Bridge,
would have returned, but were stopped
by the fire; and it came to passe, that as
they stayed or protracted the time, the
other end of the Bridge also, namely,
the South end, was fired; so that the
people thronging themselves betweene
the two fires, did nothing else but ex
pect present death. Then there came
to aide them many ships and vessels, in
to which the multitude so unadvisedly
rushed, that the ships being thereby
drowned, they all perished. It was said,
that through the fire and shipwracke,

that were wholly burnt to ashes, and

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:

St. Saviour (Southwark)

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:

As a result, St. George Southwark was probably constructed at the beginning of the twelfth century (Darlington).St. George Southwark is mentioned in the following documents:

The church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again. An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would become the cathedral of St. Paul’s which survived until the Great Fire of London.St. Paul’s Cathedral 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:

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:

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.
