Henry the third,
his raigne, did grant to his Vncle, Peter
of Savoy, all those houses upon the
Thames, which sometimes pertained to
Brain de Insula, or Lisle, without the
Walls of his Citie of London, in the way
or street called the Strand, to hold to
him and to his heires, yeelding yeerely
in the Exchequer, at the feast of Saint
Michael th’ Archangell, three barbed
Arrowes for all services. Dated at Re

But first amongst other buildings,
morable for greatnesse on the River of
Thames, Excester house, so called, for that
the same belonged to the Bishops of
Excester, and was their Inne or London
lodging. Who was first builder thereof,
I have not read; but that Walter Staple
ton, was a great builder there, in the
raigne of Edward the second is manifest:
for the Citizens of London, when they
had beheaded him in Cheape, neere unto
the Cathedrall Church of Saint Paul,
they buried him in a heape of Sand or
rubbiso, in his owne house without
Temple barre, where hee had made great
building. Edmond Lacy, Bishop of Exce
ster, builded the great Hall in the raigne
of Henry the sixth, &c. The same hath
since been called Paget house, because
William Lord Paget enlarged and posses
sed it. Then Leicester house, because Ro
bert Dudley, Earle of Leicester, of late new
builded there and then Essex house, of
the Earle of Essex lodging there.

and Essex burnt this house, unto the
which there was none in the Realme to
be compared in beauty and starelinesse,
(saith mine Author.) They set fire on it
round about, and made proclamation,
that none, on paine to lose his head,
should convert to his own use any thing
that there was; but that they should
breake such plate and vessell of Gold &
Silver, as was found in that house,
(which was in great plenty) into small
peeces, and threw the same into the Ri

should bruise in mortars,
might be to no use, and so it was done
by them: One of their companions they
burned in the fire, because hee minded
to have reserved one goodly peece of
Plate.

the whole lana) desirous, at the length, to

just judgement of God) all slaine at Lon

Inner Temple

-
Temple Bar
Temple Bar was one of the principle entrances to the city of London, dividing the Strand to the west and Fleet Street to the east. It was an ancient right of way and toll gate. Walter Thornbury dates the wooden gate structure shown in the Agas Map to the early Tudor period, and describes a number of historical pageants that processed through it, including the funeral procession of Henry V, and it was the scene of King James I’s first entry to the city (Thornbury 1878). The wooden structure was demolished in 1670 and a stone gate built in its place (Sugden 505).Temple Bar 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:

Ivy Bridge Lane is mentioned in the following documents:

The Strand
Named for its location on the bank of the Thames, the Strand leads outside the City of London from Temple Bar through what was formerly the Duchy of Lancaster to Charing Cross in what was once the city of Westminster.

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:

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.
