BREADSTREET VVARD.

BReadstreet ward beginneth in the high street of West Cheape,* 1.1 to wit, on the South side, from the Stan∣dard to the great Crosse. Then is also a part of Watheling street of this Ward, to wit, from over against the Red Lion, on the North side, up al∣most to Pauls gate; for it lacketh but one house of Saint Augustines Church. And on the South side, from the Red Lion Gate to the Old Exchange; and downe the same Exchange, on the East side, by the West end of Maiden Lane, or Distar lane, to Knight-Riders street, or, as they call that part thereof, Old Fish-street. And all the North side of the said Old Fish-street, to the South end of Breadstreet, and by that, still in Knight-Riders street, till over against the Trinitie Church, and Trinitie Lane.

Then is Breadstreet it selfe,* 1.2 so called, of Bread in old time there sold: for it appeareth by Records, that in the yeere 1302. which was the 30. of Edward the first, the Bakers of London were bounden to sell no bread in their shops or houses, but in the Market; and that they should have foure Hall-motes in the yeere, at foure severall termes, to deter∣mine of enormities belonging to the said Company.

This street, giving the name to the whole Ward, beginneth in West Cheape, almost by the Standard, and runneth downe South, through or thwart Wathe∣ling street, to Knight-Riders street afore∣said, where it endeth. This Breadstreet is wholly on both sides of this Ward. Out of the which street, on the East side, is Basing lane, a piece whereof, to wit, to and over against the backe gate of the Red Lion in Watheling street, is of this Breadstreet Ward.

Then is Friday street,* 1.3 beginning also in West Cheape, and runneth downe South through Watheling street, to Knight Riders street, or Old Fish-street. This Friday street is of Breadstreet Ward, on the East side, from over against the North-east corner of Saint Matthewes Church, and on the West side, from the South corner of the said Church, downe as aforesaid.

In this Friday street, on the West side thereof, is a Lane, commonly cal∣led Mayden Lane, or Distaffe Lane, cor∣ruptly for Distar Lane, which runneth West into the Old Exchange: and in this Lane is also one other lane, on the South side thereof, likewise called Di∣star Lane, which runneth downe to Knight-Riders street, or Old Fishe-street: And so bee the bounds of this whole Ward.

Monuments to be noted here: first at Breadstreet corner, the North-east end 1595. of Thomas Tomlinson, causing in the high street of Cheape a Vault to bee digged and made, there was founde at fifteene foot deepe,* 1.4 a faire pavement, like unto that above ground; and at the further end, at the Chanell, was found a Tree, sawed into five steppes, which was to steppe over some Brooke, run∣ning out of the West, towards Wal∣brooke: and upon the edge of the said Brooke, as it seemeth, there were found lying along, the bodies of two great Trees, the ends whereof were then saw∣ed off, and firme Timber, as at the first when they fell; part of the said Trees remaine yet in the ground undigged. It was all forced ground, untill they went past the Trees aforesaid, which was about seventeene foot deepe, or better; thus much hath the ground of this Citie (in that place) beene raised from the maine.

Next to be noted, the most beautifull Frame of faire houses and shops,* 1.5 that be within the Wals of London, or else∣where in England, commonly called Goldsmiths Rowe, betwixt Breadstreete end and the Crosse in Cheape, but is within this Breadstreete Ward; the same was builded by Thomas Wood, Gold∣smith, one of the Sheriffes of London, in the yeere 1491. It containeth in number ten faire dwelling houses, and foureteene shops, all in one Frame, uni∣formely builded foure stories high, beautified towards the streete with the Goldsmiths Armes, and the likenesse of Wood-men, in memory of his name, riding on monstrous Beasts; all which is cast in Lead, richly painted over, and gilt: these hee gave to the Goldsmiths, with stockes of money to bee lent to young men, having those shops, &c. This said Front was againe new pain∣ted and gilt over in the yeere 1594. Sir Richard Martin being then Maior, and keeping his Maioralty in one of them; serving out the time of Cutbert Buckle, from the second of Iuly, till the 28. of October.

Then for Watheling streete,* 1.6 which Ley∣land calleth Atheling or Noble street: but since hee sheweth no reason why, I ra∣ther take it to be so named, of the great high-way of the same calling. True it is, that at this present the inhabitants thereof are wealthy Drapers, retaylers of Woollen Clothes, both Broad and Narrow, of all sorts, more than in any one street of this City.

Of the Old Exchange,* 1.7 I have noted in Faringdon Ward: VVherefore I passe downe to Knight-Riders street, whereof I have also spoken in Cordwainer streete Ward. But in this part of the said Knight-Riders street, is a Fish-Market kept, and therefore called Old Fishstreet, for a dif∣ference from New Fishstreet.

In this Old Fishstreet is one Rowe of small houses,* 1.8 placed along in the mid∣dest of Knight-Riders street, which Rowe is also of Breadstreet Ward. These hou∣ses, now possessed by Fishmongers, were at the first but moveable Boords (or Stals) set out on Market daies, to shew their Fish, there to bee sold: but procuring licence to set up Sheds, they grew to Shops, and by little and little, to tall Houses, of three or foure stories in height, and now is called Fishstreete. Walcer Turke, Fishmonger, Maior, 1349. had two Shops in Old Fishstreet, over-against Saint Nicholas Church, the one rented five shillings the yeere, the other foure shillings.

Breadstreet,* 1.9 so called of Bread sold there (as I said) is now wholly inhabi∣ted by rich Merchants, and divers faire Innes be there, for good receit of Car∣riers, and other Travellers to the City.

On the East side of this street,* 1.10 at the corner of Watheling street, is the proper Church of Alhallowes in Breadstreete, wherein are the Monuments of Iames Thame, Goldsmith.

Iohn Walpole, Goldsmith, 1349.

Thomas Beaumont, Alderman, one of the Sheriffes, 1442.

Robert Basset, Salter, Maior, 1476.

Sir Richard Chaury, Salter, Maior, 1509.

Hic jacent Thomas Beaumond,* 1.11 Civis, Sal∣ter, & quondam Vicecomes Civitatis London, Alicia, & Alicia uxores ejus. Qui quidem Thomus obiit 14. die men∣sis Augusti, Anno Domini, 1457. Quo∣rum animabus propetietur Deus. Es te∣stis Christe, &c.

Corporis ut Christi festum possit venerari, Hic magis instituit Salter iter Beaumond. Cui Deus uxoribus binis Coeleste solamen, Detque suis pueris:* 1.12 Sit benedictus. Amen.

Here lieth buried the body of William Al∣bany, Esquire, Citizen, and Merchant-Taylor of London, with his two wives, Thomasine, by whom hee had issue five

sonnes, and foure daughters, who decea∣sed the 15. of December, 1565. And Ioane, who dyed without issue, the 7. of Iuly, 1579. And the said William yeelded his soule to the Almighty the 18. day of February, 1589. being of the age of 82. yeeres: so rest they all here in the assured hope of a blessed resurre∣ction.

Respice & prospice finem.

Here lieth Henry Suckley, late Sheriffe, Citizen, and Merchant-Taylor of Lon∣don, which Henry deceased the one and twentieth day of Iuly, Anno Domini, 1564. And his foure wives, Anne Boughton, Elizabeth English, Alice Fletcher, and Agnes Cachemaide, &c.

Here lieth Robert Mellishe, Citizen and Merchant-Taylor of London, which de∣ceased the thirtieth day of March, Anno Domini 1562. &c.

Robert Hulson lyeth here,* 1.13 In his time well knowne to all; He lived well, and died so, When God from hence did him call.

In the three and twentieth of Henry the eighth, the seventeenth of August, two Priests of this Church fell at vari∣ance, that the one drew bloud of the o∣ther: Wherefore the same Church was suspended,* 1.14 and no Service sung or said therein for the space of one moneth af∣ter; the Priests were committed to pri∣son, and the fifteenth of October, being injoyned penance, went before a gene∣rall Procession, bare-headed, bare-foo∣ted, and bare-legged, before the Chil∣dren, with Beades and Bookes in their hands, from Pauls, through Cheap, Corn∣hill, &c.

More to bee noted of this Church,* 1.15 which had sometime a faire spired Steeple of stone. In the yeere 1559. the fifth of September, about mid-day, fell a great Tempest of Lightning, with a terrible clap of Thunder, which struck the said spire about 9. or 10. foot beneath the top; out of the which place fell a stone, that slew a Dogge, and over∣threw a man that was playing with the Dogge. The same Spire, being but little damnified thereby, was shortly after taken downe, for sparing the char∣ges of reparation.

On the same side is Salters Hall,* 1.16 with sixe Almes-houses in number, builded for poore decayed Brethren of that Company. This Hall was burned in the yeere 1539. and againe re-edified.

Lower downe,* 1.17 on the same side, is the Parish Church of St. Mildred the Virgin.

The Monuments in this Church be, of the Lord Trenchaunt, of Saint Albans, Knight, who was supposed to be either the new builder of this Church, or best Benefactor to the Workes thereof, a∣bout the yeere 1300. and certaine Cor∣nish Gentlemen, 1312.

Sir Ambrose Nicholas, Salter, Maior, 1575. was buried in sir Iohn Chadworths Vault.

An Obite consecrated to the happy Memoriall of Sir JOHN CHADWORTH,* 1.19 or SHADWORTH, Knight, sometime Mer∣cer, and Lord Maior of this City of Lon∣don; who gave a Vestry to this Church, an house for the Pastor to dwell in, and a Church-yard to the Parishioners, where∣in to bury their dead. He deceased the 7. day of May, An. Dom. 1401.

Here lieth a man,* 1.20 that Faith and Works did even (Like fiery Chariots) mount him up to Heaven: He did adorne this Church. When words were weake, And men forget, the living Stones will speake, He left us Land: This little Earth him keepes, These balcke words Mourners, and the Marble weepes.

Here lieth the body of Thomas Copyn∣ger, * 1.21 the which deceased the 14. day of November, in the yeere of our Lord God, 1513. On whose soule, &c.

Here lieth buried Thomas Clivelod,* 1.22 of Warmoster, in the County of VVilt∣shire, Clothier; who deceased the 24. day of Iune, An. Dom. 1558.

Here lieth Sir Cuthbert Barne,* 1.23 Knight, who deceased the 16. day of October, in the yeere of our Lord God, 1521. On whose, &c.

Here lieth Roger Forde, Vintner of Lon∣don, with Ioane and Margaret his wives. The which Joane deceased the eighth day of August, Anno Domini, 1467. And Margaret deceased the eleventh day of Iune, Anno Domini. 1492. And the foresaid Roger decea∣sed, &c.

Here lye buried the bodies of Iohn Ire∣land, * 1.24 Citizen and Salter of London, and Elizabeth his wife, who were mar∣ried together about nine and forty or fif∣tie yeeres: And hee had issue by her sixe sonnes and sixe daughters, and hee lived in this Parish sixty yeeres. He was De∣putie of this VVard fifteene yeeres, and was the first Master of the Company of Salters. She deceased the second day of April, 1613. being of the age of seventy and five yeeres. And hee deceased the five and twentieth day of Iune, being a∣ged 83. yeeres.

So rest they both here in the bed of death, in hope of a joyfull resurrection.

Respice & prospice finem.

Out of this Breadstreet,* 1.25 on the same side, is Basing lane, a part whereof (as is afore shewed) is of this VVard, but how it tooke the name of Basing I have not read. In the twentieth yeere of Ri∣chard the second, the same was called the Bakehouse, whether meant for the Kings Bakehouse, or of Bakers dwel∣ling there, and baking Bread to serve the Market in Breadstreet, where the Bread was sold, I know not: but sure I am, I have not read of Basing, or of Ger∣rard the Gyant, to have any thing there to doe.

On the South side of this Lane is one great house, of old time builded upon arched Vaults, and with arched Gates of stone brought from Cane in Norman∣die. The same is now a common Ostrey for receit of Travellers, commonly and corruptly called Gerards Hall, of a Gy∣ant said to have dwelled there. In the high rooffed Hall of this house some∣time stood a large Firre-Pole,* 1.26 which reached to the roofe thereof, and was said to be one of the staves that Gerard the Gyant used in the warres to runne withall. There stood also a Ladder of the same length, which (as they said) served to ascend to the top of the staffe. Of later yeers this Hall is altred in buil∣ding, and divers roomes are made in it. Notwithstanding, the Pole is removed to one corner of the Hall, and the Lad∣der hanged broken, upon a wall in the yard. The Hosteler of that house said to mee, the Pole lacked halfe a foote of forty in length. I measured the com∣passe thereof, and found it fifteene in∣ches. Reason of the Pole could the Ma∣ster of the Hostery give me none, but ••ade mee reade the great Chronicles; for there he heard of it. Which answer

seemed to me insufficient: for he meant the description of Britaine, for the most part drawne out of Iohn Leyland his Commentaries, (borrowed of my selfe) and placed before Reyne Wolfes Chroni∣cle, as the labours of another (who was forced to confesse, that he never travel∣led further than from London to the Vniversity of Oxford) hee writing a Chapter of Gyants or monstrous men, hath set down more matter than troth, as partly (against my will) I am enfor∣ced here to touch. R. G. in his briefe Collection of Histories (as he termeth it) hath these words:

I the writer hereof, did see the tenth day of March, in the yeere of our Lord, 1504. and had the same in my hand, the tooth of a man, which weighed ten ounces of Troy weight: and the scull of the same man is ex∣tant and to bee seene, which will hold five peckes of wheate; and the shin-bone of the same man, is sixe foote in length, and of a marvellous greatnesse: this saw R. G.

The errour thereof is thus:* 1.27 he affir∣meth a stone to be the tooth of a man, which stone (so proved) having no shape of a tooth, had neither scull nor shin-bone. Notwithstanding, it is ad∣ded in the said description, that by con∣jecturall symetry of those parts, the body to be twenty and eight foote long or more. From this he goeth to another like matter, of a man with a mouth six∣teene foote wide, and so to Gerard the Gyant, and his staffe. But to leave these fables, and returne where I left, I will note what my selfe hath observed con∣cerning that house.

I reade, that Iohn Gisors, Maior of London,* 1.28 in the yeere 1245. was owner thereof, and that Sir Iohn Gisors, Knight, Maior of London, and Constable of the Tower 1311. and divers others of that name and family, since that time owed it. William Gisors was one of the She∣riffes, 1329. More, Iohn Gisors had is∣sue, Henry and Iohn: which Iohn had is∣sue, Thomas: Which Thomas deceasing in the yeere 1350. left unto his sonne Thomas his messuage,* 1.29 called Gisors Hall, in the Parish of Saint Mildred in Bread∣street: Iohn Gisors made a Feoffment thereof 1386. &c. So it appeareth, that this Gisors Hall of late time (by corrup∣tion, hath been called Gerards Hall, for Gisors Hall, as Bosomes Inne, for Blossoms Iune, Bevis Markes, for Buries Markes, Marke lane, for Mart lane, Billiter lane, for Belzetters lane, Gutter lane, for Gu∣thuruns lane, Cry Church, for Christs Church, Saint Michael in the Querne, for Saint Mihel at Corne, and such o∣thers. Out of this Gisors Hall, at the first building thereof, were made divers ar∣ched doores yet to be seen, which seem not sufficient for any great Monster, or other than men of common stature to passe thorow. The Pole in the Hall might bee used of old time (as then the custome was in every Parish) to bee set up in the Summer a May-Pole, before the principall house in the Parish or Streete,* 1.30 and to stand in the Hall before the Scrine, decked with Holme and Ivie, at the Feast of Christmas. The Ladder served for the decking of the May-Pole, and Roofe of the Hall. Thus much for Gisors Hall, and for that side of Breadstreet may suffice.

Now on the West side of Breadstreet, amongst divers faire and large houses for Merchants, and faire Innes for pas∣sengers, had yee one Prison-house, per∣taining to the Sheriffes of London, cal∣led the Compter in Breadstreet: but in the yeere 1555. the Prisoners were re∣moved from thence,* 1.31 to one other new Compter in Woodstreet, provided by the Cities purchase, and builded for that purpose: the cause of which remove was this: Richard Husband, Pastelar, keeper of this Compter in Breadstreete,* 1.32 being a wilfull and head-strong man, dealt (for his owne advantage) hard with the prisoners under his change, ha∣ving also servants, such as himselfe li∣ked best for their bad usage, and would not for any complaint bee reformed: whereupon, in the yeere 1550. Sir Row∣land Hill being Maior, by the assent of a Court of Aldermen, he was sent to the Goale of Newgate, for the cruell hand∣ling of his prisoners: and it was com∣manded to the Keeper, to set those I∣rons on his legges, which are called the Widowes almes. These he ware from Thursday, till Sunday in the afternoon, and being by a Court of Aldermen re∣leased on the Tuesday, was bound in an hundred Markes, to observe from thenceforth an Act made by the Com∣mon

Councell, for the ordering of pri∣soners in the Compters: all which not∣withstanding, hee continued as afore, whereof my selfe am partly a witnesse: For being on a Iurie,* 1.33 to enquire against a Sessions of Goale delivery, in the yeere 1552. wee found the prisoners hardly dealt withall for their achates and otherwise, as also that Theeves and Strumpets were there lodged for foure pence the night, whereby they might be safe from searches that were made abroad:* 1.34 for the which enormities, and other not needfull to be recited, hee was indighted at that Session, but did rubbe it out, and could not bee reformed, till this remove of the prisoners: for the house in Breadstreete was his owne by lease, or otherwise, so that he could not be put from it. Note that Iaylors, buy∣ing their offices, will deale hardly with pitifull prisoners.

Now in Friday street,* 1.35 so called of Fish∣mongers dwelling there, and serving Fridayes Market, on the East side is a small Parish Church,* 1.36 commonly called Saint Iohn Evangelist. The Monuments therein, be of Iohn Dogget, Merchant-Taylor, one of the Sheriffes in the yeere 1509.

Sir Christopher Askew, Draper, Mai∣or, 1533.

William de Avinger, Farrier, was bu∣ried there in the 34. of Edward the se∣cond.

Then lower downe is one other Pa∣rish Church of S. Margaret Moyses,* 1.37 so called (as seemeth) of one Moyses, that was founder or new builder thereof.

The Monuments there, be of Sir Ri∣chard Dobbes, Skinner, Maior, 1551.

William Dane, Ironmonger, one of the Sheriffes, 1569.

Sir Iohn Allot, Fishmonger, Maior, 1591.

There was of elder time buried, Ni∣cholas Stanes, and Nicholas Bray, they founded Chauntries there.

Beati mortui qui in Domino moriuntur. APOC. 14.

To William Dane that sometime was An Ironmonger;* 1.38 where, each Degree He worthily (with praise) did passe. By wisedome, truth, and heed, was he Advanc'd an Alderman to be: Then, Sheriffe; that, he with justice prest, And cost, performed with the best. In Almes franke, of Conscience cleare; In grace with Prince, to People glad: His vertuous wife, his faithfull Phèere, Margaret, this Monument hath made: Meaning (through God) that as shee had With him (in house) long lived well; Even so in Tombes blisse to dwell.

Obierunt in Christo.

Ille, Sabat. 5. Septemb. 1573. Ae∣tatis 56.

Haec vero 18. Novemb. An. 1579.

April. 5. An. Domini, 1593.

The Monument of the Right Honourable Sir Iohn Allot,* 1.39 Knight, late Lord Maior of this City of London, and Maior of the Staple of England; who deceased the seventeenth day of Septem∣ber, Anno 1591. in the time of his Maioralty. Aetatis suae 66.

Here lieth the body of Alice Daniel,* 1.40 the wife of Iohn Daniel, Esquire, and mo∣ther of Gerard Daniel, Fishmonger. Which Alice deceased the thirteenth day of October, Anno Domini 1481. On whose, &c.

Ever doe well.

On the West side of this Friday street is Mayden lane,* 1.41 so named of such a Signe, or Distaffe lane, for Distar lane, as I reade in Record of a Brew-house, called the Lambe in Distar lane, the six∣teenth of Henry the sixth.

In this Distar lane,* 1.42 on the North side thereof, is the Cordwayners or Shoo∣makers Hall; which Company were made a Brotherhood or Fraternity, in the eleventh of Henry the fourth.

Of these Cordwayners I reade, that since the fifth of Richard the second, (when he tooke to wife Anne, daughter to Wenceslaus, King of Bohemia) by her example the English people had used piked Shooes,* 1.43 tyed to their knees with Silken Laces, or Chaines of Silver and Gilt: Wherfore in the fourth of Edward the fourth it was ordained and proclai∣med, * 1.44 that Beakes of Shin and Bootes should not passe the length of two in∣ches,

upon paine of cursing by the Cler∣gie, and by Parliament to pay 20. s. for every paire. And every Cordwayner that shod any man or woman on the Sunday, to pay 30. s.

On the South side of this Distar lane, is also one other Lane, called Distar lane; which runneth downe to Knight-Riders street, or Old Fishstreet.

And this is the end of Breadstreete Ward: Which hath and Alderman, his Deputy, Common Councell ten, Con∣stables ten, Scavengers eight, Ward∣mote Inquest thirteene, and a Beadle. It standeth taxed to the Fifteene in Lon∣don, at seven and thirty pounds, and in the Exchequer, at sixe & thirty pounds, eighteene shillings, two pence.
