Gazetteer to c. 1270 and c. I 520 maps With Historical Notes THIS gazetteer is designed to be used in conjunction with the two maps of London: London, (.12 ~o, and London, C.l) 20. Each feature named on these maps has an entry in the gazetteer. If a feature is named on both maps, its gazetteer entry appears under the spelling used on the Ii 20 map. In such cases there is a cross-reference under the I no spelling. Features other than streets are shown on the maps with modern Of modernized names; contemporan' spellings are used for street names. Names in brackets on the I j 20 map indicate that there is eddence for the existence of the feature, but the onl\' known name is much earlier than t. 1) 20. The gazetteer entries briefh outline the history and topographical development of each feature down to {.II20, and the names b\' which it was known c. 1 270 and C.I i 20. If radical variations or outright changes of name occurred between those two dates, samples of such vanants or changes also are included in the entn', otherwise differences in use of capital letters or combination of words are ignored. :-':ormall\' this information has been drav:n from printed sources only, but in some cases manuscripts and unpublished material have been consulted, particulark Dr :\farc Fitch's researches on the thirteenth-centun' Husting Rolls and the \vork in progress of the Social and Economic Stud\ of :\fedieval London, directed by Dr Derek Keene (Cni\'ersity of London, Institute of Historical Research). The gazetteer entries also the modern names of sUfYiving medie\'al streets, and note extant remains of medieval structures. In addition, the histories of churches in existence in Ii 20 ha\'e been sketched down to the present, or until their closure or demolition. I\:o feature has been mapped unless it could be located with reasonable certainty. For this reason it has been necessary to omit many features that are known to have existed, but which could not be located Moreover, the small scale of the c. 1270 map has meant that certain features could not be mapped for reasons of space. These can be found on the {.I 520 map and the gazetteer notes the earlier spelling of the name. :\lap references. Each gazetteer entry has a map-flnding reference composed of three numbers. The first, in bold, refers to one of the four double sheets of the I po map, numbered 1 to 4 from west to east. The second and third numbers arc paIred together, and define the in a notIonal grid within which the feature lies. To use didde each double sheet mentally into tenths horizontally and \'erticallr page break pro\'ides a useful \\,ith the map in an upright position (i.e. with north at the top), and at the top left corner, estimate the position of the first co~ordinare by counting from the left to the right (i.e. from west to east). Then estimate the position of the second co~ordinate by counting from the top to the bottom from north to south). For example, the map reference for Lovell's Inn is 2 n. This will be found by' turning to map sheet 2, and counting ()Yer sey'en tenths from the left (west), and down se\-en tenths from the top (north). \'ery large features, such as Sr Paul's Cathedral, are gi\'en map sheet numbers only. In order to locate features on the (. 12 ~o map, it is necessan' to identify the (,1 po map areas which are indicated by ticks at the top and bottom of the (,1270 map and numbered. Then read off in tenths as before. See 'Key to :\[aps'. Abchurche Lane 3 76 Aldersgate 296 By (.1240-50: E, 159. 1274 Abechircbelatlf: HR 6/F. 1548 Abchurche City gate, prob. orig.
