often had hapned in the City when the H●uses were builded of Timber and covered with Reed and Straw Henry Fitz Allwine being Mayor it was Decreed That from thenceforth no man should build within the City but of some unto a certain height and to cover the same building with Slate or burnt Tyle This was the very cause of such stone Buildings whereof many have rem●ined until out time that for gaining of ground they have been taken down and in place of some of them being low as but two Stories above the ground many Houses of four or five Stories high are placed From this Stone House down to the Stocks are divers large Houses especially for height ●or Merchants and Artificers On the South side of this High-street is the Parish Church of Saint Peter upon Cornhill which seemeth to be of an ancient building but not so an●ient as fame reporteth for it hath been lately repaired if not all new builded except the Steeple which is ancient The Roo● of this Church and Glazing was finished in the Reign of King Edward the fourth as appeareth by Armes of Noble men and Aldermen of London then living There remaineth in this Church a Table wherein it is written I know not by what Authority but of no late hand that King Lucius founded the same Church to be an Archbishops See Metropolitan● and chief Church of his Kingdom and that it so continued the space of four hundred years unto the coming of Augustine the Monk Now because many may be curious to be further acquainted therewith I have here inserted the same Verbatim as it is there recorded in the Table BE it known unto all men that the year of our Lord God 179 Lucius the first Christian King of this Land then called Britaine sounded the first Church in London that is to say the Church of St. Peter upon Cornhill and he founded there an Archbishops See and made that Church the Metropolitan and chief Church of this Kingdom and so endured the space of four hundred years unto the coming of St. Austin the Apostle of the English the which was sent into this Land by St. Gregory the Doctor of the Church in the time of King Ethilbert And then was the Archbishops See and Pall removed from the foresaid Church of St. Peter upon Cornhill unto Doreburniam that now is called Canterbury and there remaineth to this day And Millet the Monk which came into the Land with S. Austin was made this first Bishop of London and his See was made in Pauls Church And this King Lucius was the first Founder of St. Peters Church upon Cornhill and he reigned in this Land after Brute a thousand two hundred fourty five years and the year of our Lord God a hundred twenty four Lucius was Crowned King and the years of his Reign were seventy seven years and he was a●ter some Chronicle buried at London and after some Chronicle he was buried at Glocester in that place where the Order of St. Francis standeth now Joceline of Furn●is writeth that Thean or Theon the first Arch bishop of London in the Reign of Lucius builded the said Church by the aid of C●ran chief Butler to King Lucius and also that Etv●nus the second Archbishop builded a Library to the same adjoyning and con●erted many of the Druydes learned men in the Pagan Law to Christianity William Harrison discoursing hereon more at large hath these very words There is a Controversy saith he moved among our Historiographers whether the Church that 〈◊〉 built at London stood at Westminster or in Cornhill For there is some cause why the Metropolitane Church should be thought to stand where St. Peters now doth by the space of four hundred and od years before it was removed to Canterbury by Austin the Monk if a man would lean to one side without any conference of the asseverations of the other But herein there may lurk some scruple for besides that St. Peters Church stood in the East end of the City and that of Apollo in the West the word Cornhil a denomination given of late so speak of to one street may easily be mistaken for Thorney For as the word Thorney proceedeth from the Saxons who called the West end of the City by that ●ame where Westminster now standeth because of the wildernesse and bushine●●e of the soile so we do not read of any street in London called Cornhill before the Conquest of the Normans wherefore I hold with them which make Westminster to be the place where Lucius builded his Church upon the ruines of that Fane 264 years as Malmsbury saith before the coming of the Saxons and four hundred and eleven before the arrival of Augustine Read also his Appendix in Lib. fourth Pontif. where he noteth the time of the Saxons in the 444 of Grace and of Augustine in 596 of Christ which is a manifest account though some Copies have 499 for the one but not without-manifest corruption and error And now to return where we left True it is that a Library there was pertaining to this Parish Church of old time builded of Stone and of late repaired with Brick by the Executors of Sir Iohn Crosby Alderman as his Arms on the South end do witnesse This Library hath been of late time to wit within this seventy years well furnished of Books Iohn Leyland viewed and commended them but now those Books are gone and this place is occupied by a School-master and his Usher for a number of Scholers learning their Grammer Rules c. Notwithstanding before that time a Grammar School had been kept in this Parish as appeareth in the year a thousand four hundred twenty five We read that John Whitby was Rector and John Steward School-master there and in the five and twentieth of Henry the sixth it was Enacted by Parliament that four Grammer Schools in London should be maintained viz In the Parishes of Alhallowes in Thames street Saint Andrew in Oldburn Saint Peters upon Cornhill and Saint Thomas of Acres Then have ye the Parish Church of St. Michael the Archangel for the antiquity thereof we find that Alnothus the Priest gave it to the Abbot and Covent of Covesham Raynold the Abbot and the Covent there did grant the same to Sparling the Priest in all measures as he and his Predecessors before had held it to the which Sparling also they granted all their Lands which they there had except certain Lands which Orgar le proud held of them and paid two shillings yearly For the which grant the said Sparling should yearly pay one mark of Rent to the said Abbot of Covesham and find him his lodging Salt Water and Fire when he came to London This was granted a thousand one hundred thirty three about the thirty four of Henry the first The fair new Steeple or Bell-Tower of this Church was begun to be builded in the year 1421 which being finished and a fair ●ing of five Bells therein placed a sixth Bell

so running along as far as unto the North-East corner of Bow-lane on the South side and from thence into Bow-lane on the East side until ye come to the Channel over against the Cellardoor under the Church then on the North side of Cheap up to the Standard stretching it self into divers Lanes and peeces on the right hand and on the left hand as it commeth along First for the High street of the Poultrey which is the main body of this Ward on the South side thereof toward the East this Ward beginneth in the way going down to St. Mary Wooll-Church Now for Antiquities and things worthy of memory in Cheap-Ward First in the main Body of this Ward that is the Poultry standeth the hansome little Church that beareth the name of St. Mildred in the Poultry the Virgin which name was given surely for distinction not for superstition for so was the Custom of the Kingdom yet is in building their things for the service of God that the Founders called them by the name of some Apostle Saint Martyr or Confessor as best liked their own conceit at the present time to distinguish them from others Who this Mildred was whether she was the Eldest Daughter of Merwaldus King of the VVest-Mercians as some think or that she was Daughter of Ethelbert King of Kent one of the founders of Pauls Church it is incertain neither is it much material but it is probable that she was some holy and devout Maid which the People of that Age held to be a Saint afterward in Heaven In what years this Church was first erected or who was the first Founder of it we find not but it appeareth by some ancient Evidences of the said Church that from the beginning it had not so much spare ground about it as to make a Church-yard of until in the year of our Lord God 1420 and the 8th of King Henry the fifth Thomas Morsted Esquire and Chirurgion to the Kings Henry the fourth Henry the fifth and Henry the sixth And afterward in Anno Dom. 1436. was Sheriff and Alderman of London gave unto the Church a parcel of ground lying between his dwelling-house and the said Church and adjoyning unto the said Church toward the North to make a Church-yard of for the burial of their Dead containing in length from the Course of VVallbrook toward the West forty five foot and in breadth from the Church toward the North thirty five foot Within short time after some body of Religious and Charitable disposition erected upon the sides of the said Church-yard but upon Posts and Pillars with Cloysters underneath toward the West a Parsonage House or Mansion and free dwelling of the Ministers and Rectors of the said Church and toward the East four Chambers then called the Priests Chambers now converted into a Tenement or dwelling House demised for yearly Rent but the Church-yard is much abridged and of late fouly defaced and the lights of the said Parsonage hindered by additions of pieces to the said ancient Chambers which ought not to be In this ancient Church some Citizens of note lie buried Some few Houses West from this Parish Church of St. Mildred is a Prison-house pertaining to one of the Sheriffs of London and is called the Counter in the Poultry This hath bin there kept and continued time out of minde for I have not read of the Original thereof West from this Counter was a proper Chappel called of Corpus Christi and St. Mary at Cony-hope lane end in the Parish of the said Mildred founded by one named Iorivirunnes a Citizen of London in the Raign of Edward the third in which Chappel was a Guild or Fraternity that might dispend in Lands better then twenty pounds by year it was suppressed by Henry the eighth and purchased by one Thomas Hobson Haberdasher he turned this Chappel into a fair Ware-house and Shops towards the street with fair Lodgings over them Then is Cony-hope lane of old time so called of a signe of three Coneys which hung over a Poulterers Stall at the Lanes end within this Lane standeth the Grocers Hall which Company being of old time called Pepperers were first incorporated by the name of Grocers in the year 1345 at which time they elected for Cus●os or Gardian of their Fraternity Richard Oswin and Lawrence Hallwell and twenty Brethren were then taken in to be of their Society In the year 1411 the Custos or Gardian and the Brethren of this Company purchased of the Lord Robert Fitzwaters one Plot of ground with the building thereupon in the said Cony-hope lane for three hundred twenty Marks and then laid their foundation of their new Common-Hall About the year 1429 the Grocers had Licence to purchase five hundred Marks Land since the which time near adjoyning unto the Grocers Hall the said Company have builded seven proper Houses for seven aged poor Alms-people Thomas Knowles Grocer and Maior gave his Tenement in St. Anthonies Church-yard to the Grocers towards the relief of the poor Brethren in that Company Also Henry Keeble Grocer and Maior gave to the seven Alms-people six pence weekly for ever which Pension is now increased by the Masters to some of them two shillings a peece weekly and to some of them lesse c. Henry Ady Grocer 1563 gave a thousand Marks to the Grocers to purchase Lands and Sir Henry Pechy Knight Banneret free of that Company gave them five hundred pounds to certain uses he builded Alms-houses at Luding stone in Kent and was there buried West from this Cony-hope Lane is the Old Iury whereof some portion is of Cheape Ward at the South end of this Lane is the Parish-Church of St. Mary Cole-Church named of one Cole that builded it this Church is builded upon a Vault above ground so that men are forced to go to ascend up thereunto by certain steps I finde no Monuments of this Church more than that Henry the fourth granted Licence to William Marshal and others to found a Brotherhood of Saint Katherine therein because Thomas Becket and St. Edmond the Arch Bishop were baptized there The Old Iury hath had alwayes Citizens of quality and fair large Houses as there is now Gurney-house where Alderman Friderique lives a very worthy Gentleman There is also another ancient fair House of Thomas Bowyer and another of Mr. Bonnel worthy and wealthy brave Marchants We read of Bordhangli-lane to be of that Parish and thus much for the North side of the Poultry The South side of the said Poultry beginning on the Bank of the said Brook over against the Parish-Church of St. Mildred passing up to the great Conduit hath divers fair Houses which were sometimes inhabited by the Poulterers but now by Grocers Haberdashers and Upholsters Concerning other Antiquities there first is Bucklesbury so called of a Mannor and Tenements pertaining to one Buckle who there dwelled and kept his Courts this Mannor is supposed to be the great Stone-Building yet in part
