Chronicles of London
A Survey of London
'Stow's Survey' is a historical work readily identified by this familiar name alone. John Stow (c.1524–1605) was a Londoner, a member of the Merchant Taylors' Company, but spent most of his life accumulating manuscripts and other historical records. His great work, A Survey of London, was published in 1603, and is reissued here in the two-volume version edited by C. L. Kingsford (1862–1926) and published in 1908. Kingsford, a government education…

VI. A London Merchant's House and its Owners, 1360–1614
Stow in his Survey of London describes St. Dunstan in the East as ‘a great parish of many rich merchants, and other occupiers of diverse trades namely salters and ironmongers’. Then turning to speak of Thames Street he writes: ‘in this street on the Thames side are divers large landing places called wharves and keys, for cranage up of wares and merchandise, as also for shipping of wares from thence to be transported. These wharves and keys common…
I.— Essex House, formerly Leicester House and Exeter Inn
The London Inn of the bishops of Exeter in the fourteenth century occupied the greater part of the space between the Temple and the bishop of Bath's Inn. The whole site was probably at one time the property of the Knights of the Temple, to whom Henry II in 1173 granted the church of St. Clement Danes. In the thirteenth century the advowson of St. Clement's together with certain messuages opposite to the church had passed into the possession of th…
XII. Bath Inn or Arundel House
The bishop of Bath's Inn had a larger site than any of the episcopal palaces on the Strand. The frontage to the river was over 500 feet, that towards the street somewhat less, and the depth must have been upwards of 400 feet. Thus the Inn with its precincts covered an area of between four and five acres. The site of Durham Inn with a similar frontage was much less in depth. But Durham Inn itself in the middle ages far surpassed Bath Inn as a buil…
I.— Our Lady of the Pew. The King's Oratory or Closet in the Palace of Westminster
During the comparatively brief period of its existence references to the chapel of our Lady of the Pew are not uncommon. But so quickly did its memory perish that John Stow writing some sixty years after its disuse was at first hopelessly in error as to its position. In the original edition of his Survey of London he connected it with the house of Bethlehem Hospital by Charing Cross. This error was corrected in the second edition, where our Lady …
V.— The Feast of the Five Kings
In the winter of 1363–4 three foreign kings came to England and were entertained by Edward III in London, whilst a fourth had also intended to come. It was a sufficiently remarkable event and as such was duly recorded by the chroniclers of the time. A civic legend has long passed current that all the four foreign kings and Edward III were present together at a banquet given by Henry Picard, a vintner and sometime mayor of London. The Feast of the…
