COLEMAN STREET _Ward_, is bounded on the north by Cripplegate ward,
upper Moorfields, and Bishopsgate ward; on the east by Bishopsgate
ward, Broad street ward, and Cheap ward; on the south by Cheap ward;
and on the west by Basinghall street ward. It extends from east to

extends south from Moorgate to the garden belonging to Grocers hall
in the Poultry.
The principal streets in this ward are, Coleman street, the north
part of the Old Jewry; Lothbury, from Coleman street to St.
Margaret’s church, on the north side, and on the south, to about
twenty-seven feet beyond Prince’s street; the north side of Cateaton

churches of St. Stephen Coleman street, St. Margaret’s Lothbury, and
St. Olave’s Jewry; Founders hall, the Armourers and Brasiers hall,
and the Excise office.
This ward is governed by an Alderman and his Deputy, six Common
Council men, thirteen wardmote inquest men, four scavengers, four
constables, and a beadle. The jurymen returned by the wardmote

COLNEY, a village in Hertfordshire, three miles from St. Alban’s in
the road to London, is called London Colney, to distinguish it from

These villages receive their names from the river Coln, near which
they are situated.
