TRINITY PRIORY, on the south side within Aldgate, was founded by Queen
Matilda, daughter to Malcolm King of Scotland, wife to Henry I. in the
year 1108, in the place where Siredus had begun to erect a church in
honour of the holy cross and St. Mary Magdalen: she endowed it with the
port of Aldgate, the customs belonging to it, and the sum of 25_l._
This priory was built on a piece of ground upwards of three hundred
feet long, in the parish of St. Catharine, near a parochial chapel
dedicated to St. Michael, which stood where are now the row of
houses by the pump, fronting the gate; and soon obtained the name of
Christ church; in a short time it grew rich in lands and ornaments,
and surpassed all the priories in the city of London and county of
Middlesex, for its church, got into its possession the parishes
belonging to the neighbouring churches of St. Mary Magdalen, St.
Michael, and St. Catharine, and the prior was frequently an Alderman.
This priory was dissolved by King Henry VIII. in the year 1531, and of
nine well-tuned bells that belonged to the conventual church, the four
largest are now in the steeple of Stepney church, and the other five at
St. Stephen’s Coleman street. _Maitland._

suspicious persons, and called the Tun from its resembling a tun
standing upon one end. This prison being, in 1401, made a cistern for
water conveyed by leaden pipes from Tyburn; was thence called the
conduit. It had at the same time a strong prison made of timber placed
upon it, which was called the cage; this prison had a pair of stocks,
and was for the punishment of night-walkers. On the top of the cage was
placed a pillory for the punishment of bakers offending in the assize
