Tower hill was a monasterie called Eastminster Eastminster of the easterly standing thereof which was called also New abbey founded by EDW. 3. in the yeee 1359. There are within this temple diuers and sundrie most rare and princely monuments some of great antiquitie some also of later times increasing dailie Edward confessor buried among the rest there lieth EDWARD called also the Confessor who laboured before in this famous worke and caused his corps to be interred in the west part of the Church which when HEN. 3. had altred he caused the body of EDW. to be remooued to the place where now it resteth in the east part of the Church Also there lieth HEN. 3. Henry the third buried Tho. Walsing the finisher of this most famous worke whose tombe is there in most kingly manner erected by the dutifull endeuour and charge of EDW. 1. sonne of the said HEN. 3. and for that purpose he brought Iasper stones out of Fraunce wherewith he beautified his fathers sumptuous sepulchre in anno 1280. Manie other Kings and Queenes and persons of high state haue beene there buried of whome the whole catalogue to resite would be tedious There is in this temple a stone in forme of a chaire A stone chayre in S. Peters Church sometime seruing as the throne of the kings of Scots and wherein they were crowned which stone was brought out of Scone in Scotland by EDW. 1. sonne to HEN. 3. about anno 1297. which standeth not far from his fathers monument had in no little price at this day There is adioining vnto this famous temple A chappell of H. 7. in the east ende thereof a chappell erected by HEN. 7. which in regarde of the beautie and curious contriued worke thereof is called of Lelande Orbis miraculum The wonder of the worlde In this mirrour of art Orbis miraculum and archytect are many rare and glorious monuments of Kings and Queenes H. 7. buried among whom the famous founder HEN. 7. lieth vnder a most regall tombe framed artificially formed of bras richly guilded with pure gold Neere this chappell adioining vnto the Thamys was an olde famous building Olde pallace called nowe the Olde pallace which was consumed with fire in the time of EDW. the Confessor It was sometime the pallace of king CANVTVS the Dane Olde pallace king Canutus house also king of Denmarke and where he made his abode about the yeere of Christ 1035. after his returne from Rome into Englande who in regard of his quadruplicitie of kingdomes esteemed himselfe more than a man mortall for his Scicophants had so bewitched him with their inchaunted flatteries that he deemed himselfe no lesse then a God The pride of Cauntus And in this proud conceit on a day he passed by the Thamys which ran by that pallace at the flowing of the tide making staie neere the water the waues cast foorth some part of the water towards him this CANVTVS coniured the waues by his regall commaunde to proceede no farther the Thamys vnacquainted with this newe God held on it course flowing as of custome it vsed to do and refrained not to assayle him neere to the knees whereat this high conceited man as one amazed begon to tremble starting backe protesting that hee was but a man though a mightie king And that he that gouerned those waters was onely worthie to be called a king and all mortall men most mightie kings ought to subiect them vnto him A woorthie note whereby is seene howe the almightie Iehouah by his weake creatures maketh to stoope the most puissant in his owne conceite Some part of this old pallace is yet standing as S. Stephens chappel and other buildings vpon the Thamys neere vnto which is a most famous hall called Westminster hall which was so called for that it was Aularegis a kings court but as touching the founder is great varietie Some affirme that WILLIAM RVFVS builded it E. S. de reb Br. but M. Camden affirmeth that Hoc quod nunc habemus pretorim RIC. 2. diruto vetustiori extruxit suaeque habitationi dicauit RIC. 2. built it and made it his mansion house But me thinks it is to be gathered by the words of Thomas Walsingham Tho. Wals hist. Aug. that Westminster hall was in the time of EDW. the 2. where he saith Si ipsi Barones cum suis assentatoribus in aula Westmonasterii pleno parliamento venirent c. whereby it appeereth that Westminster hall and the place of parlament there was 64. yeeres before RIC. 2. But some may say that the great Hall that nowe is Tho. Wals Ypodigni New pag. 49. was not in those daies but the Hall that is nowe called White hall where the Court of of Requests is now kept To answere that the same Thomas saith Rex E. 1. Celebrauit penticostes in aula magna apud Westmonasterium whereby he maketh a distinction betweene those two hals for the White hall was called also Aula parva the little hall which two hals and other buildings thereunto adioining were vsed by RIC. the 2. who caused all controuersies there to be heard who as all other kings in those daies sat in iudgemēt Kings sat in Court to heare and determine causes whersoeuer the king was in person there was the place of hearing and determining causes sauing that the common plees were by HEN. 3. appointed to be heard in a place certaine as appeereth in magna Charta where it is saide Communia placita non sequntur Curiam nostram Sed teneantur in aliquo loco certo But at this day all causes of whatsoeuer nature for the most part are heard and determinable at this place as a place certeine S.
