The Conduit in St. Mary Aldermanbury near the Church and the Standard or Conduit in Fleet-street neer St. B●…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 Oldb●…urn Cross now called Hol●…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 la●…e dreadful conflagration of London ●…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.
