Some Observations touching the Antiquity of the famous City of London LOndon the most glorious City all things considered in the whole World is of great Antiquity and if Historians say truth can boast of almost three thousand Years continuance from its foundation Geoffrey of Monmouth recordeth that the City of London was built by Brute about the year of the World 2855. and in the 110â⦠year ante-Christum neer unto the River now called the Thames and named it Troy-Novant or New-Troy King Lud afterward not only repaired this City but increased the same with many famous Buildings Towers Walls c. and called it Caire-Lud or Luds-Town and the strong gate which he built in the West-part of the City he likewise for the continuance of his own Name and Honour called it Lud-gate But much more of the Name and Original of this City may be seen in Cambden Speed Stow c. unto which Authors Ireser the desirous Readers The Romans did first plant Civility in Brittain and in this Noble City and in the time of Domitian the Emperor taught them to build houses for themselves their habitations being before only thick and cumbersome Woods plashed within and trenched about and Temples for their Gods and Courts for Justice to bring up their Noble Mens Children in good Letters and Humanity and to apparrel themselves Roman-like whereas before they went naked as saith mine Author painting their bodies c. Simon of Durham as quoted by Stow for I have not the book sayes that Helen the Mother of Constantine the Great was the first that Enwalled this City and this was about the year Christ 306 which wall being afterwards defac'd there was another wall built for its defence eight foot in breath and twelve foot in height as the ruins thereof doth yet make appear this was done Anno Christi 434 and so from time to time hath the wall of this City been altered repaired as I shall hereafter though perhaps not in this Almanack shew Leaving therefore to discourse of its walls and Original any further in this place I shall take a view of the Rivers Bourns and Brooks c. belonging to this noble place Water being one of the most useful and commodious necessaries for a City it is but fit that I take notice thereof in the first place and shew you out of Stow and other approved Authors how this populous City was and is furnished therewith Antiently until the time of William the Conqueror and for 200 years after the City of London was watered on the West part with the River Wells or rather Wallbrook running through all that part of the City this was a River so large that it bear Ships and 10 or 12 at a time were wont to come up to the Fleet and Oldbourn-bridge The River of Thames waters it on the South-side On the East-side it was water'd with a River or Water called Langbourne On the West-side in the Subburbs it was water'd with Oldbouââ¦ne River Three principal Wells or Fountains there are in other Subburbs to assiââ¦t them with water viz. Holy-wel Clements-wel and Clerks-wel of which more anon Neer unto this last named Fountain viz. Clerks-well are sundry other wells viz. Skinners-well Flags-well Tode-well Loders-well and Rad-well Dame Annis the Perilous-pond c. And in West Smithfield theââ¦e is a water called Horse-pool and another neer St. Gile's-Cripple-gate call'd Crowders-well of all which I shall give you a brief account 1. The Thames is the most eminent and famous River of this Island and hath it's original in the County of Oxford neer unto a Village called Winchcââ¦mb it passeth by the University of Oxford and saith Stow with a marvellous quiet course it runneth to London and thence it issueth into the Ocean by main Tides which ebb and flow more then sixty miles in length so that omitting to mention great Ships and other Vessels of Burthen there is commonly to be found between Windsor and Gravesend 5 or 6000 small Boats or Wherries now called Oars or Scullers which imployes great numbers of poor men and is of eminent advantage to the Kingdom in case of any Naval expedition 2. The River Wells or Wel-brook which in process of time is turned in Wal-brook is now decay'd and so stopped up by reason of buildings upon it that its course is now hardly known but formerly this River was so large that it was capable of bearing Ships as I before urged 3. The River Langbourn or Longbourn so called of the length of it was a stream breaking out in Fen Church or Church-street which ran athwart Gââ¦ass-street or Grace-Church-street down Lumbard-street to the West end of St. Mary Woolnoth's Church and then tuââ¦ning South down Sharââ¦bourn-lane it brake into divers Rills or Rivolets to the River of Thames This Bourn is also long since ââ¦opped up so that no sign thereof remaineth 4. Oldbourn which was a River that brake out about the place where now the barrs do stand viz. neer unto Grayes Inn-lane and it thence ran down the whole street to Oldbourn now called Holbourn bridge and so into the River of Wells before mentioned or as it was lately called Turnmil-brook This River is also since stââ¦pped up bââ¦t yet the street beareth the Name thereof 5. Holy-well is further on the North part of the City and near unto that place where divers Kings of England have kept their Courts scituate between Morefields and Shoreditch and for the sweetness and pleasantuess
of the water it was much frequented by young Schollars and other youths in the Summer Evenings but now saith my Authour is decay'd and spoiled with filth purposely layd here to raise the ground all thereabout the better for Garden-plots 6. Clements-well is a little North from St. Clements Church in the Strand and nigh unto an Inne of Chancery called Clââ¦ments-Innâ⦠the water is sweet serviceable and plentiful and is yet handsomely preserved with free-stone round about it it being of great use to all the Neighbourhood thereabouts 7. Clerks-well or Clerken-well as it is now called is scituate not very far West of Clerken-well Church adjoyning to the wall that encloses it The said Church took its name of the Well as history mentioneth and the Well took its name from the Parish-Clerks in London who in old times were wont thereabout to meet and Dramatique-wiââ¦e to act some large History of Scripture at which recreations sundry Kings and Nobles have been present for their encouragement This Well is furnished with plenty of good water and is of great use to the inhabiââ¦ants adjoyning round about even unto this day 8. Sââ¦inners-well was neer unto Clerken-well and was so named of the Worshipful company of Skinners in London for that they held thereabouts certain yearly interludes in place whereof saith Stow the wrestlings have been of late years kept and is in part continued by the Lord Mayor and A'dermen at the Feast of S. Bartholââ¦mew in the moneth of August at which time there is both Shooting of several sorts Wrestling and Cudgel-playing by the ablest men for skill and strength in these Exercises in the City before the Lord Mayor and Aldermen who reward the Victors and Victored also but unequally preferring strength to weakness c. The other lesser Wells or Rivers are almost all of them decay'd Howbeit I shall mention something of them for information to my ingenious Reader Flaââ¦s-well was scituate neer unto West-smith-fiââ¦ld by the Charter-house now lately saith Stow damned up that scarcely any Prints thereof remains Tods-wel Loders-wel and Rad-wel are all of them decay'd and now so filled up that the ââ¦laces where they were are hardly now to be discerned Dame-Annis the Cleer is not far from Holy-wel and remaineth still as may be seen by any that walk between Holy-Wel and More-fields and somewhat West thereof is another cleer water called Perilous-Pond because divers youths by swiming therein have been drowned Horse-pool is in West-smith-field and hath been sometimes a very great water and was so called from the use that was made thereof viz of watering Horses therein This is now also much decay'd the Spring thereof being stopped up and the land-Water as saith Stoâ⦠falling into the small bottom remaining here enclosed with bââ¦ck is now called Smith-field Pond Crowders-wel is scituate by St. Giles's Church-yard without Cripple-gate and was formerly a large water and fed with sundry springs It is now for the most part stopped up but the chief spring thereof is preserved and was cooped about with Stone by the Excecutors of one Richard Wittington Citizââ¦n of London as saith mine Author Besides these several advantages of Water this great and populous City was blessed withal by Nature Art hath not been wanting to give assistance herein unto it also by the generous charity of sundââ¦y Persons that bore affection unto her And so we may in History that Gilbert Sandford to do this glorious City service obtained from King Henry the Third his Majesty a Patent to convey water from the Town of Teybourn whence the place of executing offenders Monethly at the West end of the Subburbs neer Hide-Park corner is named by pipes of Lead into this City Then is it also furnished with divers curious Conduits which do not only eminent service to the several prime parts of the City but serve for Ornament and glory unto it of which I think not amiss to speak a little The first Ciââ¦lern of Lead enclosed or castellated to use Stows word with Stone in the City of London was called the great Conduit in West-cheap or Cheap-side and began to be builded in the year 1285. The Conduit in St. Mary Aldermanbury near the Church and the Standard or Conduit in Fleet-street neer St. Bââ¦ides Church were made and finished Anno 1471. by the Excecutors of one William East-field Citizen of London The Conduit in Grass-streer or Grace Church-street opposite to London Bridg was built Anno Christi 1491. The Conduit at Oldbââ¦urn Cross now called Holââ¦ourn Conduit was built Anno Christi 1498. and tebuilt by one Mr. William Lamb Anno 1577. The little Conduit by the Stocks market at the lower end of Cheap-side was first built Anno Christi 1500 and having bin tuined with the City it self by the laââ¦e dreadful conflagration of London ââ¦as rebuilt at the charges of the Honourable Sr. Robert Viner Kt. and Baronet with the true and lively Portraicture of his present sacred Majesty King CHARLES the second on horse-back upon whose happy Birth and Restauration-day Anno 1672. viz. May 29 it ran Wine for many hours together at the charge of the said Sr. Robert Viner as a signal Testimony of his loyalty to our said soveraign Lord. The Conduit at Bishops-gate was built in the year of our Lord 1513. The Conduit at London wall almost against Coleman street end was built in or about the year 1528. The Conduit at Aldgate without was built about the year of Christ 1535. The Conduit in Lothbury about the middle thereof was built Anno Christi 1546. The Conduit in Coleman-street adjoyning to the Church was built about the same year The Conduit at Down-gate vulgaââ¦ly Dow gate was built Anno Christi 1568. The Conduit in Alders-gate-street without the gate was built An. Dom. 1610 by Mr. Thomas Hayes and water then conveyed unto it Besides these several Conduits and Aqueducts replenished with curious springs by which the City of London is happily served there are other Aquatical advantages belonging thereunto viz. Two other Conduits served by the water of the River Thames the one of them scituate by the Parish Church of St. Mary Magdalen and the other adjoyning to the Parish Church of St. Nicholas Cole abby both neer unto Old fishstreet and built Anno Christi 1583. But that which was as eminent almost as all these Conduits c. was the excellent contrivance of Sâ⦠Hugh Middletââ¦n Kt. and Baronet who fiââ¦st attempted and brought to pass that admirable work of conveighing the New River water as now called from Chadwel and Amwell to London which becauââ¦e it was and is and is like to be of such great service to that eminent City I will transcribe the story thereof in brief from Stow which take aâ⦠followeth The good Queen Elizabeth minding the good of this great City in or about the tenth year of her Raign granted to her Citizens power by Act of Parliament for cutting and conveying a River from any part of Middlesex or
