HAving thus runne through
the description of these
Cities of London and West-minster,
aswell in their o
riginall foundations, as in
their increases of buildings and orna
ments, together with such incidents of
sundry sorts, as are before, both gene
rally and particularly discoursed. It re
maineth that somewhat bee noted by
mee, touching the Policie and Govern
ment, both Ecclesiasticall and Civill, of
London, as I have already done for West-minster,
the order whereof is appointed
by the late Statute, even as that of Lon
don is maintained by the Customes
thereof, most laudably used before all
the time of memory.

of the Britaines, sent his Ambassadors,
Elvanus and Meduvanus, two men lear
ned in the Scriptures, with Letters to
Eleutherius, Bishop of Rome, desiring him
to send some devout and Learned men,
by whose instruction, hee and his peo
ple might hee taught the Faith and Re
ligion of Christ. Eleutherius baptized
those Messengers, making Elvanus a Bi¦shop,
and Meduvanus a Teacher, and
sent over with them into Britaine, two
other famous Clerks, Faganus and Deru
vianus, by whose diligence, Lucius and
his people of Britaine, were instructed
in the Faith of Christ, and baptized, the
Temples of Idols were converted into
Cathedrall Churches, & Bishops were
placed, where Flamines before had bin:
at London, Yorke and Carleon upon Vske,

THE
Notes
- Commodus was Marcus Aurelius’ son, not his brother. (ML)↑
- According to Bede, the Angles arrived in Britain in 449. 147 years after 449 is 596. (KL)↑
- The length of Æthelberht’s reign is debated. According to Bede, Æthelberht became king in 560 or 561 and reigned for 56 years. In contrast, Gregory of Tours describes Æthelberht at the time of his marriage as the son of the King of Kent, suggesting that he was not yet king between approximately 575-581. Different manuscript versions of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle are also inconsistent—one claims that Æthelberht became king in 565 and reigned for 53 years. When sources are put together, it appears that Æthelberht’s reign was either from 560-616 or 565-618; however, these dates are still up for debate. (KL)↑
- Sigeberht’s family ties are debated. (ML)↑

St. Peter upon Cornhill
St. Peter upon Cornhill stood at the highest point of the city in the south east of Cornhill Ward. According to a tablet preserved within the church, St. Peter upon Cornhill was founded by King Lucius and was the first Christian church in London (Noorthouk 606). This information was questioned by Stow, who admitted that he knowsnot by what authority
(Stow 1:194) the tablet was written.St. Peter upon Cornhill is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cornhill Ward
Cornhill Ward is west of Bishopsgate Ward and south of Broad Street Ward. According to Stow, the ward and its principle street, Cornhill, are named after acorne Market
once held there.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 Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Cornhill
Cornhill was a significant thoroughfare and was part of the cityʼs main major east-west thoroughfare that divided the northern half of London from the southern half. 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:
-
St. Paul’s Cathedral
St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. 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:
-
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey was and continues to be a historically significant church. One of its many notable features isPoets’ Corner.

The church is located on the bottom-left corner of the Agas map.Westminster Abbey 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:

Other persons of note buried in the chapel include John Stokesley (Stow 1598, sig. T1r). Lady Chapel (St. Paul’s) is also where Catherine of Aragon and Arthur Tudor were married in 1501 (Thornbury).Lady Chapel (St. Paul’s) is mentioned in the following documents:

Smithfield
Smithfield was an open, grassy area located outside the Wall. Because of its location close to the city centre, Smithfield was used as a site for markets, tournaments, and public executions. From 1123 to 1855, the Bartholomew’s Fair took place at Smithfield (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 842).Smithfield is mentioned in the following documents:

Whitehall
Whitehall Palace, the Palace of Whitehall or simply Whitehall, was one of the most complex and sizeable locations in the entirety of early modern Europe. As the primary place of residence for monarchs from 1529 to 1698, Whitehall was an architectural testament to the shifting sociopolitical, religious, and aesthetic currents of Renaissance England. Sugden describes the geospatial location of Whitehall in noting that[i]t lay on the left bank of the Thames, and extended from nearly the point where Westminster Bdge. now crosses the river to Scotland Yard, and from the river back to St. James’s Park
(Sugden 564-565).Whitehall is mentioned in the following documents:

St. Paul’s Cross
The Paul’s Cross outdoor preaching station is located in Paul’s Cross Churchyard on the northeast side of St. Paul’s Cathedral. During the early modern period, Paul’s Cross was a site of drama, since the interfaith conflicts of the time were addressed from the pulpit. These sermons were presented by prominent Reformation figures including Stephen Gardiner, Miles Coverdale, Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley, Hugh Latimer, Gilbert Bourne, Edmund Grindal, Matthew Parker, John Jewel, John Foxe, Edwin Sandys, and John Donne.St. Paul’s Cross is mentioned in the following documents:

Shoreditch
A suburban neighbourhood located just north of Moorfields and outside Londonʼs City Wall, Shoreditch was a focal point of early modern theatrical culture. Following a boom in Londonʼs population from 1550 to 1600, the neighbourhood became a prime target for development. The building of the Theatre in 1576 and the Curtain in the following year established Shoreditchʼs reputation as Londonʼs premier entertainment district, and the neigbourhood also featured a growing number of taverns, alehouses, and brothels. These latter establishments were often frequented by local players, of whom many prominent members were buried on the grounds of nearby St. Leonardʼs Church. Today, Shoreditch faces the potential revival of its early modern theatrical culture through the efforts of the Museum of London Archaeology and the Tower Hamlets Theatre Company.Shoreditch 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.
