CORDWAINER STREET VVard.

THe next is Cordwai∣ner street Ward,* 1.1 ta∣king that name of Cordwainers, or Shoomakers, Cur∣riers, and workers of Leather dwel∣ling there: for it ap∣peareth in the Records of Henry the 6. the ninth of his reign, that an order was taken then for Cordwainers and Cur∣riers in Corney street, and Sopers lane.

This Ward beginneth in the East, on the West side of VValbrooke, and run∣neth West thorow Budge row,* 1.2 (a street so called of Budge, Furre, and of Skin∣ners dwelling there:) then up by Saint Anthonies Church, thorow Atheling (or Noble-street) as Leyland termeth it,* 1.3 com∣monly called VVathling-street, to the Red Lion, a place so called, of a great Lion of Timber placed there, at a gate entring a large Court, wherein are di∣vers faire and large shops, well furni∣shed with broad-cloathes, and other Draperies of all sorts to bee sold: and this is the farthest West part of this Ward.

On the South side of this street from Budge row, lyeth a lane turning downe by the West gate of the Tower Royall, and to the South end of the stone Wall beyond the said gate, which is of this Ward, and is accounted a part of the Royall street.

Against this West gate of the Tower Royall, is one other Lane, that runneth West to Cordwainer street, and this is called Turnebase lane:* 1.4 on the South side whereof is a piece of Wring-wren lane, to the North-west corner of Saint Thomas Church the Apostle. Then againe out of the high street called Watheling, is one other street which runneth thwart the same,* 1.5 and this is Cordwainer street, wher∣of the whole VVard taketh name.

This street beginneth by West-Cheape, and Saint Mary Bow Church is the head thereof on the VVest side, and it run∣neth downe South,* 1.6 thorow that part, which of latter time was called Hosier lane, now Bow lane, and then by the west end of Aldermary Church, to the new∣builded houses, in place of Ormond-House, and so to Garlickehill or hith, to S. Iames Church.

The upper part of this street towards Cheape, was called Hosier lane, of Hosi∣ers dwelling there in place of Shooma∣kers: but now those Hosiers beeing worne out by men of other trades, (as the Hosiers had worne out the Shooma∣kers) the same is called Bow lane, of Bow Church.

On the west side of Cordwainer street, is Basing lane,* 1.7 right over against Turne∣base lane. This Basing lane, west, to the backe gate of the Red Lion in Wathling street, is of this Cordwainer street VVard.

Now againe on the North side of this high street, is Budge row: by the East end of Saint Anthonies Church, have ye Saint Sithes lane,* 1.8 so called of S. Sithes Church, (which standeth against the North end of that Lane) and this is wholly of Cordwainer street VVard: also the South side of Needlers lane, which reacheth from the North end of Saint Sithes lane,* 1.9 west to Sopers lane: then west from S. Anthonies Church, is the South end of Sopers lane,* 1.10 which lane tooke that name, not of Sope-making, as some

have supposed, but of Alen le Sopar, in the ninth of Edward the second. I have not read of Sope-making in this Ci∣tie, till within this hundred yeeres, that Iohn Lambe, dwelling in Grasse-street, set up a boyling-house: for this Citie (in former time) was served of white Sope in hard cakes (called Ca∣stle Sope, and other) from beyond the Seas,* 1.11 and of gray Sope, speckled with white, very sweet and good, from Bri∣stow, sold here for a penny the pound, and never above penny farthing, and blacke Sope for an halfe-penny the pound.

Then in Bow lane (as they now call it) is Goose lane,* 1.12 by Bow Church. VVilliam Essex, Mercer, had tenements there, in the 26. of Edward the third.

Then from the South end of Bow lane, up VVathling street, till over against the Red Lion: And these be the bounds of Cordwainer street Ward.

Touching Monuments therein: first, you have the faire Parish Church of S. Anthonies in Budge row,* 1.13 more vulgarly knowne by the name of Saint Antlins, on the North side thereof. This Church was lately reedified by Thomas Knowles, Grocer, Maior, and by Thomas Knowles, his sonne, both buried there, with Epi∣taphs of the Father, thus:

Here lyeth graven under this stone,* 1.14 Thomas Knowles, both flesh and bone, Grocer and Alderman yeeres forty, Sheriffe, and twice Maior truely. And for he should not lye alone, Here lyeth with him his good wife Joane: They were together sixty yeere, And nineteene children they had in feere, &c.

Thomas Holland, Mercer, was there buried, 1456.

Thomas VVindent, Mercer, Alderman, and Katharine his wife.

Thomas Hind, Mercer, 1528. He was a Benefactor to this Church, to Aldermarie Church, and to Bow.

Hugh Acton, Merchant-Taylor, buried 1520. He gave 36. pounds to the repai∣ring of the Steeple of this Church.

Simon Street, Grocer, lyeth in the Church wall toward the South: his Armes be three Colts, and his Epitaph thus:

Such as I am,* 1.15 such shall you be: Grocer of London sometime was I, The Kings Weigher more than yeeres twenty: Simon Street called in my place, And good fellowship faine would trace: Therefore in Heaven, everlasting life Iesu send me, and Agnes my wife. Kerlie Merlie, my words were the, And Deo gratias I coupled thereto. I passed to God in the yeere of grace, A thousand foure hundred it was, &c.

Henry Collet, Mercer, Maior, a great Benefactor to this Church. The pi∣ctures of him, his wife, ten sonnes, and ten daughters, remain in the glasse-win∣dow, on the North side of the Church: but the said Henry Collet was buried at Stebunhith. Henry Halton, Grocer, one of the Sheriffes, deceased 1415. Thomas Spight, Merchant-Taylor, 1533.

Iohn Grantham and Nicholas Bull had Chauntries there.

Here lyeth William Dauntesey,* 1.16 Mercer and Alderman of this Citie, and Mer∣chant of the Staple of Callis; and Ag∣nes his wife: the which William decea∣sed the 23. day of April, in the yeere of our Lord God, 1543.

Vnto Sir Roger Martin, Knight,* 1.17 A Mercer and a Merchant late; By wisedome, and by waies upright,

That so both wealth and worship gate. Well fam'd, belov'd of each estate, Pleasant and sage in gravity, Rose by degrees in dignity. First Alderman elected here, Then Shrieve, and then Lord Maior he was: Pass'd all with praise. His faithfull Feere, Dame Elizabeth, erected has This Monument, in mind, that as With him a while in Tombe to stay, So afterward in blisse to joy alway.

Ex D. Elizabeth octo prolum Parens. Obiit in Christo, die 20. Decemb. An. Dō. 1573. & regni Reg. Eliz. 16.

Here lyes the Lady Martin eke, Of Grecia soyle, and Castlynes race, Both constant, vertuous, wise and meeke, That shewed her selfe in any place. And God endued her so with grace, That she both liv'd and dy'd with praise. Two husbands had she in her dayes, Whose corps are both inclosed here, Together with the foresaid Dame: Her love to them was aye so deare, Her cost and charge sustain'd the same: These three, their deeds will shew their fame: Who as she liv'd in amity, So here she sleepes in unity.

Domina Elizab. cum Maritis.

Credimus quod Redemptor noster vi∣vit, & in novissimo die videbimus De∣um Salvatorem nostrum, Iob 19.

And Thomas Knowles is placed here,* 1.18 Whose bones from Bow were hither borne: His godly life did well appeare, In helping those that were forlorne, And vertue did him so adorne, That he beloved was of all: Mercer he was, when death did call,

In prime of yeeres his life alway: Who dying like a worthy wight, Did hope in Christ, to live for aye. His wife him wailes in wofull plight, And for meere love, him here she pight, With her second Spouse to sleepe in peace; And she with them, when life shall cease.

Ex eadem Domina Elizab. trium pro∣lum parens. Qui quidem Thomas obiit 11. die Iulii, An. à Messia nato, 1550.

Over a little doore in the South side of the Quire,* 1.19 at the time of late new repairing the Church, was found an ancient figure of a man, clothed in Scarlet furred, hol∣ding open his hands, as in admiration; having rings on the thumbe and fingers of his left hand, and two bookes before him, one closed, and the other lying open, with these words to be read:

Recogitabo tibi omnes annos meos in amaritudine animae meae.* 1.20

Mercy and Grace,* 1.21 and for ever mercy, sweet Iesus, Ego rogo.

Next on the South side of Budge row, by the West corner thereof, and on the East side of Cordwainer street, is one o∣ther faire Church, called Aldermarie Church, because the same was very old, and elder than any Church of Saint Mary in the Citie, till of late yeeres the

foundation of a very faire new Church was laid there by Henry Keble, Grocer, Maior, who deceased 1518. and was there buried in a vault by him prepa∣red, with a faire Monument raised over him on the North side of the Quire, now destroyed and gone. He gave by his Testament 1000. l. toward the buil∣ding up of that Church; and yet was not permitted a resting place for his bones there. Thomas Romane, Maior, 1310. had a Chauntrie there. Richard Chawcer,* 1.22 Vintner, gave to that Church his tenement and Taverne, with the ap∣purtenances, in the Royall street, the cor∣ner of Kirion lane, and was there buried, 1348. Iohn Briton, Ralph Holland, Dra∣per, one of the Sheriffs, deceased, 1452. William Taylor, Grocer, Maior, decea∣sed, 1483. He discharged that Ward of Fifteenes to be paid by the poore. Thomas Hinde, Mercer, buried in S. An∣thonies, gave 10. Fodder of Lead to the covering of the middle Ile of this Al∣dermary Church. Charles Blount, Lord Montjoy, was buried there, about the yeere 1545. he made or glazed the East window, as appeareth by his Armes: his Epitaph made by him in his life time, thus:

Willingly have I sought; and willingly have I found The fatall end that wrought thither as duty bound: Discharged I am of that I ought, to my Country by honest wound, My soule departed Christ hath bought: the end of man, is ground.

Sir William Laxton, Grocer, Maior, deceased 1556. and Thomas Lodge, Gro∣cer, Maior, 1583. were buried in the Vault of Henry Keble, whose bones were unkindly cast out, and his Monument pulled downe, in place whereof Monu∣ments are set up of the later buried. Wil∣liam Blount, Lord Montjoy, buried there, 1594.

Here is fixt the Epitaph of Sir Henry Kebyl, Knight, Who was sometime of London Maior, a famous worthy wight, Which did this Aldermary Church erect and set upright.

Though death prevaile with mortal wights;* 1.23 and hasten every day, Yet vertue over-lives the Grave, her fame doth not decay: As memories doe shew reviv'd, of one that was alive, Who being dead, of vertuous fame, none should seeke to deprive; Which so in life deserv'd renowne, for facts of his to seee, That may encourage other now, of like good mind to be. Sir Henry Keble, Knight, Lord Maior of London, here he sate, Of Grocers worthy Company, the chiefest in his state, Which in this Citie grew to wealth, and unto worship came, When Henry reign'd, who was the seventh of that redoubted name: But he to honour did atchieve the second golden yeere Of Henries reigne, so call'd the eighth, and made his fact appeare. When he this Aldermanry Church 'gan build with great expence, Twice thirty yeeres agon, no doubt, counting the time from hence: Which worke began the yeere of Christ, well knowne of Christen men, One thousand and five hundred just, if ye will adde but ten. But lo, when man purposeth most, God doth dispose the best, And so before this worke was done, God call'd this Knight to rest. This Church as then not fully built; he dyed about the yeere, When Ill May day first tooke his name, which is downe fixed here:* 1.24 Whose workes became a Sepulcher, to shrowd him in that case: God tooke his soule, but corps of his was laid about this place. Who when he dyed, of this his worke so mindfull still he was, That he bequeath'd a thousand pounds to have it brought to passe. The execution of whose gift, or where the fault should be, The worke as yet unfinished shall shew you all for me▪ VVhich Church stands there; if any please to finish up the same, As he hath well begun, no doubt, and to his endlesse fame;

They shall not onely well bestow their Talent in this life, But after death, when bones be rot, their fame shall be most rife; With thankfull praise and good report of our Parochians here, Which have of right Sir Henries fame, afresh renewed this yeere. God move the minds of wealthy men, their workes so to bestow As he hath done, that though they dye, their vertuous fame may flow. Inclita perpetuo durabit tempore Virtus, Et floret fato non violenda truci.

Sir William Laxton lyes interr'd Within this hollow vault,* 1.25 That by good life had happy death, the end for which he sought. Of poore and rich he was belov'd, his dealings they were just, God hath his soule, his body here consumed is to dust.

Here lives by fame, that lately died, Sir William Laxtons wife, That ever was a doer of good, and liv'd a vertuous life: A mindfull Matron of the poore, and to the learned sort, A true and faithfull Citizen, and dyed with good report.

He dyed the 29. day of July, 1556.

Here lyeth buried Sir Thomas Lodge,* 1.26 Knight, and Dame Anne his wife. Hee was L. Maior in the yeere of our Lord God, 1563. when God did visit this Ci∣tie with a great plague for our sinnes.

For we are sure that our Redeemer liveth, and that we shall rise out of the earth in the latter day, &c. Job 19.

At the upper end of Hosier lane, to∣ward West-Cheape, is the faire Parish Church of S. Mary Bow. This Church in the reigne of William the Conque∣rour, being the first in this Citie buil∣ded on Arches of stone,* 1.27 was therefore called new Mary Church, of Saint Ma∣ry de Arcubus, or le Bow, in West Chea∣ping: As Stratford Bridge, being the first builded (by Matilda, the Queene, wife to Henry the first) with Arches of stone, was called Stratford le Bow, which names to the said Church and Bridge, remaine till this day. The Court of the Arches is kept in this Church, and ta∣keth name of the place, not the place of the Court; but of what antiquity or continuation that Court hath there continued, I cannot learne.

This Church is of Cordwainer street Ward, and for divers accidents hapning there, hath bin made more famous than any other Parish Church of the whole Citie, or Suburbs. First we read, that in the yeere 1090. and the third of Wil∣liam Rufus, by tempest of wind, the roofe of the Church of Saint Mary Bow in Cheape was overturned,* 1.28 wherewith some persons were slaine, and foure of the rafters of sixe and twenty foot in length, with such violence were pitched in the ground of the high street, that scantly foure foot of them remained a∣bove ground, which were faine to bee cut even with the ground, because they could not be plucked out; for the Citie of London was not then paved, but a moorish ground.

In the yeere 1196. William Fitz Os∣bert, * 1.29 a seditious Traitor, tooke the stee∣ple of Bow, and fortified it with muni∣tions and victuals; but it was assaulted, and William with his complices, were taken (though without blood-shed) for he was forced by fire and smoke to for∣sake the Church, and then being by the Iudges condemned, he was by the heels drawne to the Elmes in Smithfield,* 1.30 and there hanged with nine of his fellowes, where because his favoures came not to deliver him, he forsooke Maries Son, (as he termed Christ our Saviour) & cal∣led upon the Divell to help and deliver him. Such was the end of this deceiver, a man of an evill life, a secret murtherer, a filthy fornicator, a polluter of concu∣bines, and (amongst other his detestable facts) a false accuser of his elder brother, who had (in his youth) brought him up in learning, and done many things for his preferment.

In the yeere 1271. a great part of the Steeple of Bow fell downe,* 1.31 and slew ma∣ny people, men and women. In the yeere 1284. the thirteenth of Edward the first, Laurence Ducket, Goldsmith, having grievously wounded one Ralph Crepin in West Cheape, fled into Bow Church, into the which (in the night time)

entred certaine evill persons, friends unto the sayd Ralph, and slew the sayd Laurence lying in the Steeple, and then hanged him up, placing him so by the window, as if hee had hanged himselfe, and so was it found by inquisition. For the which fact, Lawrence Ducket being drawne by the feete, was buried in a ditch without the City. But shortly af∣ter (by relation of a Boy, who lay with the sayd Lawrence at the time of his death, and had hid him there for feare) the truth of the matter was disclosed. For the which cause, Iordan Good-cheape, Ralph Crepin, Gilbert Clarke, and Geffrey Clarke were attainted, and a certaine woman named Alice, that was chiefe causer of the sayd mischiefe, was bur∣ned, and to the number of sixteene men were drawne and hanged; besides o∣thers, that being richer, after long im∣prisonment, were hanged by the purse.

The Church was interdicted,* 1.32 the doores and windowes were stopped up with Thornes: but Lawrence was ta∣ken up, and honestly buried in the Church-yard.

The Parish Church of Saint Mary Bow, by meanes of incroachment, and building of houses, wanting roome in their Church-yard for buriall of the dead, Iohn Rotham, or Rodham, Citizen and Taylor, by his Testament dated the yeare 1465. gave to the Parson and Church-wardens a certaine Garden in Hosier lane, to be a Church-yard: which so continued neere a hundred yeares, but now is builded on, and is a private mans house. The old Steeple of this Church was by little and little re-edifi∣ed, and new builded up, at the least so much as was fallen downe; many men giving summes of money to the furthe∣rance thereof: So that at length, to wit, in the yeare 1469. it was ordained by a Common Councell,* 1.33 that the Bow Bell should bee nightly rung at nine of the clocke.

Shortly after, Iohn Donne, Mercer, by his Testament dated 1472. accor∣ding to the trust of Reginald Longdon, gave to the Parson & Church-wardens of Saint Mary Bow, two Tenements, with the appurtenances, since made in∣to one, in Hosier lane, then so called, to the maintenance of Bow Bell, the same to bee rung as aforesayd, and other things to bee observed, as by the VVill appeareth.

This Bel being usually rung somewhat late, as seemed to the young men Pren∣tises, and other in Cheape, they made and set up a time against the Clerke, as followeth:

Clarke of the Bow-Bell with the yellow lockes, For thy late ringing, thy head shall have knockes.

Wherunto the Clerke replying, wrote:

Children of Cheape, hold you all still, For you shall have the Bow-bell rung at your will.

Robert Harding, Goldsmith, one of the Sheriffes 1478. gave to the new worke of that Steeple forty pound. Iohn Haw, Mercer, ten pound, Doctor Allen, foure pound, Thomas Baldry foure pound, and other gave other summes, so that the sayd worke of the Steeple was finished in the yeere 1512. The Arches or Bowes thereupon,* 1.34 with the Lanthornes five in number, to wit, one at each corner, and one on the top in the middle vpon the Arches, were also afterward finished of stone, brought from Cane in Normandy, delivered at the Customers Key for foure shillings eight pence the Tunne. William Cop∣land Taylor, the Kings Merchant, and Andrew Fuller, Mercer, being Church-wardens 1515. and 1516. It is sayd that this Copland gave the great Bell, which made the fifth in the ring, to be rung nightly at nine of the clocke. This Bell was first rung (as a knell) at the buriall of the same Copland. It ap∣peareth, that the Lanthornes on the top of this Steeple, were meant to have been glased, and lights in them placed nightly in the winter, whereby travel∣lers to the City might have the better sight thereof, and not to misse of their wayes.

In this Parish also was a Grammar Schoole,* 1.35 by commandement of King Henry the sixth, which Schoole was (of old time) kept in an house for that pur∣pose prepared in the Church-yard; but that Schoole being decayed, as others about this City, the Schoole-house was let out for rent, in the reign of Henry the

eighth, for foure shillings the yeare, a Cellar for two shillings the yeere, and two Vaults under the Church for fif∣teene shillings both.* 1.36

The Monuments in this Church bee these, viz. of sir Iohn Coventry, Mercer, Maior, 1425. Nicholas Alwine, Mercer, Maior, 1499. Robert Harding, Gold∣smith, one of the Sheriffes, 1478. Iohn Locke, one of the Sheriffes, 1461. Ed∣ward Bankes, Alderman, Haberdasher, 1566. Iohn Ward, William Pierson, Scrive∣uer, and Attourney in the common place. In a proper Chappell on the South side the Church, standeth a Tombe, eleuate and arched: Ade de Buke, Hatter, glased the Chappell, and most part of the Church, and was there buried.

All other Monuments be defaced.

Hauley and Sowtham had chauntries there.

Here lyeth Richard Lambert,* 1.37 Grocer, late Alderman and Sheriffe of London, Merchant-Adventurer, & free of Mus∣covia and Russia, who deceased in the time of his Shrievalty, the fourth day of April, An. Dom. 1567. &c.

Magnificus sed justificus,* 1.38 miseris sed amicus, Vir speciosus, vir generosus, virque pudicus. Et peramabilis, & venerabilis, atque piarum, Vis, dux, lex, lampas, flos Maior Londoniarum. In terrae ventre jacet hic Iohn rite Coventre Dictus, quem necuit veluti decuit lue plenus, Bis septingenus tricenus si trahis unum Martius in sole, triceno si trahis unum, Virginis à partu carnis modo mortuus artu, Vivus erit Coelis tuba clanxerit ut Gabrielis. Amen.

Here lyeth the body of Humphrey Wal∣cot,* 1.39 of Walcot, in the County of Salop, Esquire, Merchant-Adventurer, and of the company of Grocers in this City of London. He died the 28. day of August, 1616. being about the age of seventy one: Leaving behinde him his wife A∣lice, the daughter of Richard Halsy, Esquire: and by her he had ten children, five sonnes, and five daughters; having had by her eight more, who dyed young.

Without the North side of this Church of Saint Mary Bow,* 1.40 towards West Cheape, standeth one faire building of stone, called in Record Sidam, a shed which gratly darkeneth the sayd Church: for by meanes thereof, all the windowes and doores on that side are stopped up. King Edward the third, upon occasion, as shall be shewed in the VVard of Cheape, caused this sild or shed to bee made, and strongly to bee builded of stone for himselfe, the Queene, and other Estates to stand in, there to behold the Iustings, and other shewes at their pleasures. And this house (for a long time after) served to that use: namely, in the reigne of Ed∣ward the third, and Richard the second: but in the yeare 1410. Henry the fourth, in the twelfth of his reigne, confirmed the sayd shed or building to Stephen Spilman, William Marchford, and Iohn Wattle, Mercers, by the name of one new Sildam, shed or building, with shops, cellars, and edifices whatsoever apperataining, called Crounsilde or Ta∣mersilde,* 1.41 situate in the Mercery in West Cheape, and in the Parish of Saint Mary de Arcubus in London, &c.

Notwithstanding which grant, the Kings of England, and other great E∣states, as well of forraine Countries re∣pairing to this Realme, as inhabitants of the same, have usually repaired to this place, therein to behold the shewes of this City, passing through West Cheape; namely, the great VVatches accustomed in the night, on the Even of Saint Iohn Baptist, and Saint Peter at Midsummer, the examples whereof were over-long to recite: wherefore let it suffice briefly to touch one.* 1.42

In the yeere 1510. on Saint Iohns E∣ven at night, king Henry the eight came to this place, then called the Kings head in Cheape, in the livery of a Yeoman of the Guard, with an Halberd on his shoulder, and there beholding the VVatch, departed privily, when the

VVatch was done, and was not knowne to any but whom it pleased him. But on Saint Peters night next following, he and the Queene came royally riding to the sayd place, and there with their No∣bles beheld the VVatch of the City, and returned in the morning.

This Church of Saint Mary, with the sayd shed of stone, all the housing in or about Bow Church-yard, and without, on that side the high streete of Cheape to the Standard, be of Corndwayner street Ward. These houses were (of old time) but sheds: for I reade of no housing o∣therwise on that side the streete, but of divers sheds, from Sopers lane to the Standard, &c. Amongst other, I reade of three shops or sheds by Sopers lane, pertaining to the Prior of the holy Tri∣nity within Aldgate: the one was let out for twenty eight shillings, one other for twenty shillings, and the third for twelve shillings by the yeere. Moreover, that Richard Goodcheape, Mercer, and Margery his wife, sonne to Iordan Good∣cheape, did let to Iohn Dalinges the youn∣ger, Mercer, their shed and chamber in West Cheape, in the Parish of Saint Mary de Arches, for three shillings foure pence by the yeare. Also the men of Breadstreete Ward contended with the men of Cordwainer streete Ward, for a sild or shed, opposite to the Standard on the South side, and it was found to bee of Cordwainer streete Ward, William Wal∣drone being then Maior, the 1. of Henry the sixth.

Thus much for Cordwayner streete Ward: VVhich hath an Alderman, his Deputy, Common Counsellers eight, Constables eight, Scauengers eight, VVardmote in quest men fourteene, and a Beadle. It standeth taxed to the Fif∣teene in London, at fifty two pounds six∣teene shillings, in the Exchequer at fif∣ty two pounds sixe shillings.
