“‘Three shops, with galleries built upon them, now held by Robert Kots and Lawrence Schrouesbury, Glovers, standing at the Bridge stairs towards London, with the houses belonging to London Bridge on the South side. They were formerly belonging to the Fraternity called ‘_Le Salue_,’ in the Church aforesaid. Two shops with galleries built thereupon, held by Peter Wydynton, Spicer, belonging to the same Fraternity, which are situated by the same stairs, between the way leading down to the common sewer on the South; the tenements belonging to the same Fraternity on the North, the tenements of John Zakesle on the East, and the King’s road on the North; and they owe yearly to the Bridge of London, 3_s._’ Another Tenement, held by Henry Ziuele, Mason, paid 5_s._: and it was situate between the King’s Road on the East, and the Oyster Gate on the West. Another Tenement paid 5 marks,--£3. 6_s._ 8_d._;--it stood ‘at the corner opposite to St. Magnus’ Church,’ between the King’s Road towards ‘Byllyngesgate’ on the South, and the King’s Road, called ‘Brigge-streete,’ on the West. It belonged to a certain perpetual Chantry in St. Magnus’ Church, for the soul of Thomas le Bener; also belonging to the same Chantry, and standing about the same spot, was a tavern, which paid to the Bridge 2_s._ 6_d._ yearly, and the shop of the same paid 1_s._ 3_d._ Certain other shops and tenements belonging to Richard, the son of John Horne,--perhaps the eminent Town-Clerk of that name, whom I have already mentioned,--paid £2. of yearly rent; and they were lying near the narrow way called Rederes lane on the East, in the Parishes of St. Magnus and St. Roth’i. A house belonging to the Priory and Convent of St. Mary, in Southwark, paid 1_s._: it stood between Oystergate on the East; and the houses belonging to St. Magnus’ Church on the West; and extended from the King’s Road called ‘Stokfissmongeres Rewe,’ on the North, down to the River Thames on the South. Another house in the Bridge Street, standing by that of John Somervyle, the Goldsmith, paid 8_s._ 9_d._ to the Bridge; as did also an adjoining shop and house; thus making the whole Bridge Rents in St. Magnus’ Parish amount to £7. 8_s._ 11_d._ per annum. I have been the more particular in detailing the property of London Bridge in this part of City, because it in some measure illustrates the ancient state of it; but I shall be much more brief,--and, I dare say, much more to your content,--in speaking of its possessions in the other parishes mentioned in this Manuscript. “‘In the Parish of St. Botolph, near Byllyngesgate,’ the Bridge owned the following: “‘One Tenement in the King’s Street leading to ‘Byllyngesgate,’ 16_s._ One Tenement, a Granary, or Brewery, with two Shops in the same, 12_d._ Total 17_s._
