PropDesc:
When More's lease expired in 1605, John Holmead began to pay the rent, now £10.


PropDesc:
In 1611, at Holmead's request, the Mercers made a lease to William Whitwell, citizen and salter, of their tenement or mansion-house in Westcheap called the Cardinal's Hat, for 16 years at £10 rent and £200 fine. Whitwell was to repair and perform the usual covenants, and not to assign except to Edward Clapton, dwelling in a shop, parcel of the premises, or to a mercer, without licence.


PropDesc:
Whitwell paid the rent from 1611 to 1626.


PropDesc:
In 1626 Thomas Tench petitioned for a lease in reversion of the Cardinal's Hat, in the tenure of Whitwell, from the expiry of the latter's term, and the company had the tenement viewed and valued (see Figs. 1 and 4). It was a house very similar to the Black Boy (8A2) to the W., with cellar, ground-floor shop and 5 floors above, extending over the entry to the Black Bull (8A1) from the first floor upwards. Orientations N.-S. and E.-W. are not noted in the view but are included in the following description, in parentheses, where the identification seems reasonably certain. The cellar, 16 ft. (?N.-S.) by 12 ft. (?E.-W.) (4.88 m. by 3.66 m.) probably did not extend much under the entry. The ground floor shop and staircase were 23 ft. (N.-S.) by 11 ft. E.-W. (7.01 m. by 3.35 m.). Above these, probably on the front, was a wainscoted hall 17ft. (N.-S.) by 14 ft. (E.- W.) (5.18 m. by 4.27 m.), and behind it a staircase 8 ft. (N.-S.) by 6 1/2 ft. (E.-W.) (2.44 m. by 1.98 m.), and a warehouse 18 ft. (N.-S.) by 8 ft. (E.-W.) (5.49 m. by 2.44 m.); the warehouse must have extended beyond the shop below and over part of 8A1 or 8A4 or both, probably in the same way that the 'yard leaded' of 8A2 extended over 8A1 (q.v.). On the second floor were a chamber over the hall, 16 ft. (N.-S.) by 14 ft. (E.-W.) (4.88 m. by 4.27 m.), and a kitchen (and) entry 22 ft. (N.-S.) by 9 1/2 ft. (E.-W.) (6.71 m. by 2.90 m.). The kitchen probably extended over the warehouse, with jetty, and there may have been a staircase room not mentioned for this floor over the one below. On the third floor were two chambers, that in front being 16 ft. (N.-S.) by 14 1/2 ft. (E.-W.) (4.88 m. by 4.42 m.) and that at the back 15 ft. (N.-S.) by 14 ft. (E.-W.) (4.57 m. by 4.27 m.) The 4th storey also comprised a front and back chamber, 16 ft. by 15 ft. (4.88 m. by 4.57 m.) and 15 ft. by 14 ft. (4.57 m. by 4.27 m.) respectively, and the 5th storey was a garret 30 ft. (N.-S.) by 15 ft. (E.-W.) (9.14 m. by 4.57 m.). The house evidently jettied forward over Cheapside and possibly at the back as well. It is so similar, in general dimensions and arrangement of rooms, to 8A2 that it seems probable both were built at the same time. The tenement to the E., 8A4, had a similar street range but a larger plot and different arrangements at the back.63
	The viewers valued the Cardinal's Hat at £300 fine and £10 rent for a 21-year lease in reversion, and a lease was granted on these terms to Thomas Tench and Anthony Smith in 1626.

Thomas Tench, draper, petitioned for a new lease in reversion in 1644, and the house was viewed again. Some of the measurements given vary from those given earlier, being generally somewhat smaller, but this is probably only a difference in method or expertise of measuring. On the second floor, however, the back rooms were measured differently; apart from the chamber over the hall, on the street side of that floor, there were a kitchen, 16 ft. (4.88 m.) long (N.-S.) by 9 1/2 ft. (2.90 m.) wide (E.-W.) at the N. end and 11 1/2 ft. (3.51 m.) wide at the S. end, a passage into the kitchen and the chamber over the hall, with a staircase, measuring 10 ft. (N.-S.) by 6 ft. (E.-W.) (3.05 m. by 1.83 m.) and a little room at the stairhead 4 ft. by 2 ft. (1.22 m. by 610 mm.). These differences do not seem to represent a real change from the arrangements of 1626, but there may have been an adjustment of partitions. On the 3rd floor, the chamber next to the street was now said to have a 'jet window.' The 5th-floor garret was said to be only 11 1/2 ft. (3.51 m.) wide, instead of 15 ft. (4.57 m.) as in the earlier view, but no explanation for this is given. Again, it is possible that new boarding or partitioning had affected the floor area without really altering the structure. The viewers valued the messuage at £240 fine for a 21-year lease in reversion at the old rent of £10. In 1645 the company granted Tench a lease on these terms, to begin in 1648; the fine was to be paid in 2 instalments, £140 at midsummer 1645 and £100 at midsummer 1646, with a buck for the company's use.

John Butler was probably the tenant by lease in 1542, when he and his landlord (not named in the plea; at this date it was Lady Yarford) were in dispute with Andrew Judde, alderman, and John Garway, executors of John Fayry, over the removal of wainscot and fixtures from a tenement in Cheapside in All Hallows Honey Lane. Fayry was probably the previous tenant, and he or his predecessors had made wainscoting of 89 sq. yd. (74.41 sq. m.) in the hall and 2 chambers, and shelves and wareboards in the shop, warehouse and kitchen; the viewers in the dispute judged that a tenant could take away anything he had made that was not fixed to the frame of the building, but nothing else.

Thomas Stanbridge paid rent from 1553 to 1570


PropDesc:
In 1566 Throgmorton sued for licence to let his lease, and thereafter Stanbridge is described as his assign.


PropDesc:
By 1570 Stanbridge had sublet to Mr. Cole, a grocer, who made a high (?pitched) roof of tiles over the kitchen of the Crane, taking away the leads and iron which used to cover it, without the company's knowledge or permission, and interfering with other tenants' lights.


PropDesc:
Stanbridge assigned his lease to Thomas Hargrave, mercer, who paid the rent from 1570 to 1575, and then assigned to John Wiat, mercer.


PropDesc:
In 1578 a new lease of the Crane was granted to Margery Wiat, widow, who then dwelt there, for 21 years at the old rent, in consideration of a £200 fine and the surrender of the existing lease. She was to repair, and might not let except to a mercer.


PropDesc:
In 1579 pid14041 was licensed to let the shop or warehouse under her dwellinghouse for 5 years, preferably to a mercer.


PropDesc:
By 1580 she had married John Symcot, and they sought licence first to sublet the Crane and then to sell the lease, which was refused. They continued in this suit until 1584, even producing a letter written on Mrs. Symcot's behalf by the earl of Leicester.

In 1594 Mr. Wiat's chimney fell down, and the houses in Cheap were said to be decayed and ruinous, by reason of the great weight of timber and lead in the top, which shook in any great wind.

In 1597, despite their previous disagreements, the Mercers granted Margery Symcot a new lease of the Crane with shops, cellars and solars, for 21 years from 1599, at £200 fine and the slightly higher rent of £9. She was to repair, and might not alienate or let to any but a mercer. The schedule attached to the 1597 lease is dated 1578 and was probably drawn up for the lease made to her, as Margery Wiat, at that date. It describes the fittings in 5 floors of the house. The hall and countinghouse were probably on the first floor, over shop(s) and cellar(s) not described, possibly because there were no fittings there. The kitchen, probably on the same level as the hall, was stone-paved, and may have been in an extension at the back of the house: the leads over it (15 ft. by 7 1/2 ft.; 4.57 m. by 2.29 m.) were reached from the next floor, where there were 2 chambers, wainscoted, wtih a countinghouse and privy. Above these were 2 more chambers, one wainscoted, the other occupied by Mrs. Symcot and not seen by the viewers. Above these were 2 garrets, one with a jetty towards the street and 'posts, flower, and reabus' to the same, probably a decorative feature, and a door to the leads; the other garret contained a privy ('house of office'). The 'highest garret' was on another level, though not necessarily immediately over the other 2; it could for example have been above the stairhead.

Abraham Speckarte paid the rent in 1598-9, possibly as assign of pid14052


PropDesc:
Margery Symcot died in 1599 before the new lease was due to begin. She left specific instructions in her will as to the disposal of her property. Her executor was not to sell the lease, but to let the E. side of the shop and warehouse behind for £20 rent (the testatrix's maidservant Margaret was to have preference), and also to let her wares with the shop, at 5 per cent per annum of their value in her book, so that £80 yearly would be raised from the shop and wares. £60 of this was to go to the testatrix's son William Wiat, £10 to the Mercers in rent, and £10 towards repairs. William was to have her chamber in the house for his own, and the chamber next to it for a servant; Margaret the maidservant was to have another. Very little was left to William absolutely; his mother even specified that he was to have power to dispose of £40 by will to 'friends and acquaintances.' Possibly he was not, or was not considered, capable of managing his own affairs.


PropDesc:
John Hopkins of Bristol, merchant, Margery's executor, transferred the lease by licence in 1599 to Nowell Sotherton, one of the supervisors of the will Sotherton paid the £200 fine for the lease.


PropDesc:
Sotherton paid the rent from 1599 to 1602

Dr. Fryer, Margery Symcot's son- in-law, paid the rent from 1602 to 1618.


PropDesc:
In 1615 the Mercers granted a lease of the Crane to Thomas Wright, clothworker, and Gilbert Harrison, goldsmith, then dwelling there, for 21 years from 1620 at £10 rent. The fine was £400, payable in 4 instalments by Michaelmas 1620. The conditions and schedule of fixtures were as before, except that the description of the jetty to the street and the 'posts, flower, and reabus' in the garret were omitted.


PropDesc:
Gilbert Harrison paid the rent of £9 from 1618 to 1621 and £10 from 1621.


PropDesc:
In 1627 Harrison asked for an extension of his term, in consideration of his costs in rebuilding the tenement. The company granted him a new lease in 1628, for 22 years from 1627, in consideration of the surrender of his present lease, £40 paid, and his costs in making a small cellar, enlarging a warehouse, and wainscoting certain rooms. The rent and conditions were as before; at the end of the schedule were listed a room beyond the kitchen over the shop, wainscoted, with a wainscoted back chamber over the shop, and a wainscoted entry between the two.


PropDesc:
Harrison paid the rent from 1621 to 1652


PropDesc:
The tithe-payer in 1638 for what was probably this house was Mr. Waldron; Harrison does not appear. The house was worth £50 p.a.


PropDesc:
In 1644, on Harrison's petition for a new lease, the company viewed and valued the tenement (see Figs. 1 and 4). It then comprised a streetside house of cellar, ground floor, and 5 upper stories, with a ground-floor shop occupying a large area behind, and some upper rooms possibly still further back. Orientations N.-S. and E.-W. are not given in the view, but are inserted in the following description in parentheses where the identification seems reasonably certain. The whole of the ground floor was a shop, 58 ft. 2 in. (17.73 m.) long (N.-S.) and 17 ft. (5.18 m.) wide at one end (the N.) and 14 ft. 8 in. (4.47 m.) at the other (S.). These dimensions correspond closely with the plot surveyed for the then tenant after the Fire: the narrower part, by the street, was some 21 ft. (6.40 m.) long (N.-S.) and the wider part nearly 37 ft. long (11.28 m.). Under the shop was a cellar near the street, 12 ft. 8 in. by 12 ft. (3.86 m. by 3.66 m.), and a cellar further back 22 ft. (N.-S.) by 15 ft. (E.-W.) (6.71 m. by 4.57 m.), presumably under the wider part of the shop; a little cellar with a staircase, 12 ft. 4 in. (E.-W.) by 9 ft. (N.-S.) (3.76 m. by 2.74 m.) probably linked the larger cellars and may have been the small cellar built by Harrison. The streetside range consisted on the first floor of a hall to the street, wainscoted, 14 ft. 8 in. (?E.-W.) by 14 ft. (?N.-S.) (4.47 m. by 4.27 m.) with 'a study and a carole window', probably to be interpreted as a bay or oriel window, measuring 8 1/2 ft. (?E.-W.) by 3 ft. (?N.-S.) (2.59 m. by 910mm). Behind the hall were a staircase and study, 12 ft. 8 in. by 10 ft. 8 in. (3.86 m. by 3.25 m.), and a paved kitchen, 17 ft. 4 in. (?E.-W.) by 12 ft. (?N.-S.) (5.28 m. by 3.66 m.). These must have extended some way back over the shop. Over the hall was a chamber with carved wainscot, 14 ft. 10 in. (?E.-W.) by 14 ft. 1 in. (4.52 m. by 4.29 m.) with a closet with 'carole' window 10 ft. by 2 1/2 ft., (3.05 m. by 760 mm.) and behind that a chamber and house of office, 15 1/2 ft. (?E.-W.) by 10 ft. (?N.-S.) (4.72 m. by 3.05 m.), and a staircase and passage 9 ft. 8 in. by 6 ft. (2.95 m. by 1.83 m.). On the third floor there was a wainscoted chamber next to the street, 14 1/2 ft. (?E.-W.) by 13 ft. 11 in. (?N.-S.) (4.42 m. by 4.24 m.), which also had a 'carole' window, 8 ft. by 2 ft. (2.44 m. by 610 mm.). Behind the chamber was another chamber with a staircase, 14 ft. (?E.-W.) by 12 ft. (?N.-S.) (4.27 m. by 3.66 m.), and behind that a 'flat forme' of lead 18 ft. by 7 ft. 4 in. (5.49 m. by 2.24 m.), probably over the rooms above the kitchen (see the lease of 1597). On the fourth floor were 2 chambers, both 15 ft. by 14 ft. (4.57 m. by 4.27 m.), probably corresponding to the rooms described as garrets in 1597, and above them a garret 30 ft. by 13 ft., (9.14 m. by 3.96 m.) probably the 'highest garret' of 1597. The front of the house was possibly not jettied in the usual way above the first floor - all the front rooms have very similar dimensions - but had this oriel window extending through 3 floors, and above it, on the 4th floor, a decorative feature of 'posts, flower, and reabus'.79
	The arrangements at the back were more complex. There was an 'upper warehouse over Mr. Clapton's warehouse,' measuring 17 ft. by 14 ft. (5.18 m. by 4.27 m.), a little dining-room 'over the shop', 11 ft. by 9 ft. 4 in. (3.35 m. by 2.84 m.); a passage 23 1/2 ft. by 2 ft. 10 in. (7.16 m. by 860 mm.) leading to a back room 'over the said warehouse' measuring 17 ft. by 11 ft. 3 in. (5.18 m. by 3.43 m.); and another little room by it, 12 ft. by 8 ft. (3.66 m. by 2.44 m.); Edward Clapton held a shop parcel of 8A3 c. 1611, and possibly the warehouse referred to was over that, and therefore an intermixture between 8A3 and 8A4.80 It is also possible to suggest that 'Mr. Clapton's warehouse' was part of the ground-floor shop of 8A4, and also that the back room 'over the said warehouse' was actually over another part of the shop of 8A4, 'shop' and 'warehouse' being nearly synonymous terms for these large back rooms when used for commercial purposes. The dining room, the passage, and the back room were probably the rooms and entry over the shop beyond the kitchen, wainscoted by Harrison before 1627 and listed in his lease of that date. The ground floor shop can only have had window-lighting at the front, to Cheapside; the back part probably only had clerestories or rooflights. The back rooms of the street range from the second floor up would have had adequate light, but the kitchen might not have.81
	The messuage was valued at £400 for a 21-year lease in reversion at the old rent of £10, and a new lease was granted to Harrison, then chamberlain of London, on these terms in 1644. This may have been changed to a 31-year term for a fine of £300 later in the year.

	The messuage was valued at £400 for a 21-year lease in reversion at the old rent of £10, and a new lease was granted to Harrison, then chamberlain of London, on these terms in 1644. This may have been changed to a 31-year term for a fine of £300 later in the year.

PropDimension:
In 1644, on Harrison's petition for a new lease, the company viewed and valued the tenement (see Figs. 1 and 4). It then comprised a streetside house of cellar, ground floor, and 5 upper stories, with a ground-floor shop occupying a large area behind, and some upper rooms possibly still further back. Orientations N.-S. and E.-W. are not given in the view, but are inserted in the following description in parentheses where the identification seems reasonably certain. The whole of the ground floor was a shop, 58 ft. 2 in. (17.73 m.) long (N.-S.) and 17 ft. (5.18 m.) wide at one end (the N.) and 14 ft. 8 in. (4.47 m.) at the other (S.). These dimensions correspond closely with the plot surveyed for the then tenant after the Fire: the narrower part, by the street, was some 21 ft. (6.40 m.) long (N.-S.) and the wider part nearly 37 ft. long (11.28 m.). Under the shop was a cellar near the street, 12 ft. 8 in. by 12 ft. (3.86 m. by 3.66 m.), and a cellar further back 22 ft. (N.-S.) by 15 ft. (E.-W.) (6.71 m. by 4.57 m.), presumably under the wider part of the shop; a little cellar with a staircase, 12 ft. 4 in. (E.-W.) by 9 ft. (N.-S.) (3.76 m. by 2.74 m.) probably linked the larger cellars and may have been the small cellar built by Harrison. The streetside range consisted on the first floor of a hall to the street, wainscoted, 14 ft. 8 in. (?E.-W.) by 14 ft. (?N.-S.) (4.47 m. by 4.27 m.) with 'a study and a carole window', probably to be interpreted as a bay or oriel window, measuring 8 1/2 ft. (?E.-W.) by 3 ft. (?N.-S.) (2.59 m. by 910mm). Behind the hall were a staircase and study, 12 ft. 8 in. by 10 ft. 8 in. (3.86 m. by 3.25 m.), and a paved kitchen, 17 ft. 4 in. (?E.-W.) by 12 ft. (?N.-S.) (5.28 m. by 3.66 m.). These must have extended some way back over the shop. Over the hall was a chamber with carved wainscot, 14 ft. 10 in. (?E.-W.) by 14 ft. 1 in. (4.52 m. by 4.29 m.) with a closet with 'carole' window 10 ft. by 2 1/2 ft., (3.05 m. by 760 mm.) and behind that a chamber and house of office, 15 1/2 ft. (?E.-W.) by 10 ft. (?N.-S.) (4.72 m. by 3.05 m.), and a staircase and passage 9 ft. 8 in. by 6 ft. (2.95 m. by 1.83 m.). On the third floor there was a wainscoted chamber next to the street, 14 1/2 ft. (?E.-W.) by 13 ft. 11 in. (?N.-S.) (4.42 m. by 4.24 m.), which also had a 'carole' window, 8 ft. by 2 ft. (2.44 m. by 610 mm.). Behind the chamber was another chamber with a staircase, 14 ft. (?E.-W.) by 12 ft. (?N.-S.) (4.27 m. by 3.66 m.), and behind that a 'flat forme' of lead 18 ft. by 7 ft. 4 in. (5.49 m. by 2.24 m.), probably over the rooms above the kitchen (see the lease of 1597). On the fourth floor were 2 chambers, both 15 ft. by 14 ft. (4.57 m. by 4.27 m.), probably corresponding to the rooms described as garrets in 1597, and above them a garret 30 ft. by 13 ft., (9.14 m. by 3.96 m.) probably the 'highest garret' of 1597. The front of the house was possibly not jettied in the usual way above the first floor - all the front rooms have very similar dimensions - but had this oriel window extending through 3 floors, and above it, on the 4th floor, a decorative feature of 'posts, flower, and reabus'.79
	The arrangements at the back were more complex. There was an 'upper warehouse over Mr. Clapton's warehouse,' measuring 17 ft. by 14 ft. (5.18 m. by 4.27 m.), a little dining-room 'over the shop', 11 ft. by 9 ft. 4 in. (3.35 m. by 2.84 m.); a passage 23 1/2 ft. by 2 ft. 10 in. (7.16 m. by 860 mm.) leading to a back room 'over the said warehouse' measuring 17 ft. by 11 ft. 3 in. (5.18 m. by 3.43 m.); and another little room by it, 12 ft. by 8 ft. (3.66 m. by 2.44 m.); Edward Clapton held a shop parcel of 8A3 c. 1611, and possibly the warehouse referred to was over that, and therefore an intermixture between 8A3 and 8A4.80 It is also possible to suggest that 'Mr. Clapton's warehouse' was part of the ground-floor shop of 8A4, and also that the back room 'over the said warehouse' was actually over another part of the shop of 8A4, 'shop' and 'warehouse' being nearly synonymous terms for these large back rooms when used for commercial purposes. The dining room, the passage, and the back room were probably the rooms and entry over the shop beyond the kitchen, wainscoted by Harrison before 1627 and listed in his lease of that date. The ground floor shop can only have had window-lighting at the front, to Cheapside; the back part probably only had clerestories or rooflights. The back rooms of the street range from the second floor up would have had adequate light, but the kitchen might not have.81

PropDesc:
Harrison paid the rent until 1652 and his executors were listed as paying it from then until the Fire.


PropDesc:
Margaret Harrison, Gilbert's widow, bequeathed the lease to her daughter Ann Lewsey in 1657.


PropDesc:
Ann assigned it to William Bird, painterstainer, in 1662 for £300. Bird's request for pardon for this assignment, which had been made without licence, and William Allington's petition for a new lease of the same in reversion, both made in 1662, were deferred for consideration until the lawsuit then depending concerning the property was settled. The reason for this suit is not given but could have been the validity of Bird's title and the arrangements made after Harrison's death.


PropDesc:
William Minton, possibly an error for Allington or Allinton, occupied the house in 1662-3, when it was said to have 6 hearths.


PropDesc:
William Allington occupied the house in January 1666.


PropDesc:
Bird held the lease, and may have occupied the property, at the time of the Great Fire.


PropDesc:
After the Fire both Bird and Mr. Downer claimed the interest in the residue of the lease of the Crane. The Mercers, in order to avoid future lawsuits, refused to give judgment between them and in September 1667 ordered them to settle the matter at law first. In June 1668 Bird claimed he had got Mr. Downer's or Mr. Pigeon's bill against him dismissed by order in Chancery, but the company was not yet satisfied. They did however state the terms for rebuilding they would offer to the confirmed tenant, namely a term made up to 51 years from 1668, at the old rent for the residue of the current lease and a new rent of £26 for the rest of the new term. Bird, presumably having got confirmation of his title, went to the Fire Court in October 1668, to obtain better terms. He referred to his loss of ground by the elimination of jetties and the loss of 4 rooms backward, possibly the intermixed rooms which Harrison had added to the tenement earlier. The company claimed that the ground was worth £30 p.a., and asked for an increase of rent or a fine. The Court decreed that on payment of £100 fine Bird should have a new lease of 60 years from 1668 at £10 rent, and should rebuild with all convenient speed. This the company performed.

The tenement called the Black Bull (8A1), leased to Thomas More in 1549 and 1565, was divided by him before 1597. The mansion house at the back, with cellars, rooms etc. and the cellar under All Hallows Honey Lane was taken by More to live in; in 1597 it was said to be late in the occupation of William Gould, now of Robert Parkhurst, clothworker, and also (possibly the church cellar) now in the occupation of More or his assigns.

PropDesc:
A lease was made to More, to begin in 1605 when his current lease expired, for 21 years at £5. 6s. 8d. This rent included £1. 6s. 8d. for the church cellar, which the Mercers were to pay to the parish. More was to repair, and might not alienate or let to any but a mercer.


PropDesc:
Mrs. More paid the rent from 1605 to 1610


PropDesc:
In 1610 the parish petitioned the company for a lease of the cellar under the church, or for a release of the company's interest. This was agreed, for £40 paid and the release of the rent due; Mrs. More was to be quit of the £1. 6s. 8d., and the parish was to allow her undertenants to complete their term. Thereafter the cellar was to be used for burials only; these began there in 1613.


PropDesc:
Isaac Kilborne, citizen and mercer, paid the rent of £5. 6s. 8d. in 1610-11 and £4 thereafter.


PropDesc:
pid14107 was granted a 15-year lease at £4 rent by the company in 1611, on the same conditions as More's


PropDesc:
Kilborne assigned to Thomas Herne or Hiron c. 1622.


PropDesc:
pid14112 paid the rent between 1622 and 1625


PropDesc:
At about that time the tenement was divided, Hiron and subsequently his widow keeping one part, the other being in John Hamond's possession.


PropDesc:
The company viewed the tenement in 1626, when the last lease was about to expire, and decided it should remain divided: Alice Hiron, Thomas' widow, was to have the part she now occupied (except for a garret over John Hamond's house) for £4 rent without fine, for as long a term as remained in the lease of the Black Bull (due to expire 1633: see 8A1 above), and the company's beadle was to have the other part, with the garret mentioned above, rent free for life. The view gives measurements of the rooms but not all the relationships are clear and no orientations are given: see Figs. 1 and 4. It seems likely that the garret was not the only intermixed room, and the upper floors of both parts of the property may have jettied over the yard and entries. The site was surrounded by houses (8A1 to the S., 10 to the E., 8B to the N.) and the church of All Hallows Honey Lane to the W.; there may well have been intermixture with 8A1, and it is possible that the intermixture existing between 8A and 8B when the latter was separated in the 15th century had persisted. The part of the house in Mrs. Hiron's possession comprised a hall with entry 20 ft. by 15 ft. (6.10 m. by 4.57 m.), a passage 14 ft. by 12 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.66 m.), a house of office 5 1/2 ft. by 4 ft. (1.68 m. by 1.22 m.), and a woodhouse 8 ft. by 6 ft. (2.44 m. by 1.83 m.), probably all at ground level. There were four chambers, 16 ft. by 13 ft. (4.88 m. by 3.96 m.), 16 ft. by 11 ft. (4.88 m. by 3.35 m.), 18 ft. by 15 ft. (5.49 m. by 4.57 m.) and 23 ft. by 16 ft. (7.01 m. by 4.88 m.): the first two could have been on one floor and under the fourth. There was a garret 23 ft. by 16 ft. (7.01 m. by 4.88 m.), probably over the fourth chamber, and another garret 14 ft. by 13 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.96 m.) over John Hamond's house. The part in Hamond's possession consisted of an entry 10 ft. by 3 ft. (3.05 m. by 910 mm.), a yard 18 ft. by 11 ft. (5.49 m. by 3.35 m.), a passage and stairs 14 1/2 ft. by 7 1/2 ft. (4.42 m. by 2.29 m.), a kitchen 14 ft. by 11 1/2 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.51 m.), and a buttery 10 1/2 ft. by 5 1/2 ft. (3.20 m. by 1.68 m.). He had the only cellar, 14 ft. by 8 ft. (4.27 m. by 2.44 m.):  the 16th century evidence relating to the dispute over the cellar under the church suggests that this must have lain adjacent to the E. wall of the church. There was a hall, probably over the kitchen, 14 1/2 ft. by 12 ft. (4.42 m. by 3.66 m.), a chamber over the hall 11 ft. by 14 ft. (3.51 m. by 4.27 m.), a passage 9 ft. by 8 ft. (2.74 m. by 2.44 m.), a second chamber 22 ft. by 16 ft. (6.71 m. by 4.88 m.), which from its dimensions might have been intermixed with Mrs. Hiron's house, an inner chamber 9 ft. by 7 1/2 ft. (2.74 m. by 2.29 m.) and a closet 4 1/2 ft. by 2 ft. (1.37 m. by 610 mm.).

PropDimension:
The view gives measurements of the rooms but not all the relationships are clear and no orientations are given: see Figs. 1 and 4. It seems likely that the garret was not the only intermixed room, and the upper floors of both parts of the property may have jettied over the yard and entries. The site was surrounded by houses (8A1 to the S., 10 to the E., 8B to the N.) and the church of All Hallows Honey Lane to the W.; there may well have been intermixture with 8A1, and it is possible that the intermixture existing between 8A and 8B when the latter was separated in the 15th century had persisted. The part of the house in Mrs. Hiron's possession comprised a hall with entry 20 ft. by 15 ft. (6.10 m. by 4.57 m.), a passage 14 ft. by 12 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.66 m.), a house of office 5 1/2 ft. by 4 ft. (1.68 m. by 1.22 m.), and a woodhouse 8 ft. by 6 ft. (2.44 m. by 1.83 m.), probably all at ground level. There were four chambers, 16 ft. by 13 ft. (4.88 m. by 3.96 m.), 16 ft. by 11 ft. (4.88 m. by 3.35 m.), 18 ft. by 15 ft. (5.49 m. by 4.57 m.) and 23 ft. by 16 ft. (7.01 m. by 4.88 m.): the first two could have been on one floor and under the fourth. There was a garret 23 ft. by 16 ft. (7.01 m. by 4.88 m.), probably over the fourth chamber, and another garret 14 ft. by 13 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.96 m.) over John Hamond's house. The part in Hamond's possession consisted of an entry 10 ft. by 3 ft. (3.05 m. by 910 mm.), a yard 18 ft. by 11 ft. (5.49 m. by 3.35 m.), a passage and stairs 14 1/2 ft. by 7 1/2 ft. (4.42 m. by 2.29 m.), a kitchen 14 ft. by 11 1/2 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.51 m.), and a buttery 10 1/2 ft. by 5 1/2 ft. (3.20 m. by 1.68 m.). He had the only cellar, 14 ft. by 8 ft. (4.27 m. by 2.44 m.):  the 16th century evidence relating to the dispute over the cellar under the church suggests that this must have lain adjacent to the E. wall of the church. There was a hall, probably over the kitchen, 14 1/2 ft. by 12 ft. (4.42 m. by 3.66 m.), a chamber over the hall 11 ft. by 14 ft. (3.51 m. by 4.27 m.), a passage 9 ft. by 8 ft. (2.74 m. by 2.44 m.), a second chamber 22 ft. by 16 ft. (6.71 m. by 4.88 m.), which from its dimensions might have been intermixed with Mrs. Hiron's house, an inner chamber 9 ft. by 7 1/2 ft. (2.74 m. by 2.29 m.) and a closet 4 1/2 ft. by 2 ft. (1.37 m. by 610 mm.).

SepStructures:
The company viewed the tenement in 1626, when the last lease was about to expire, and decided it should remain divided: Alice Hiron, Thomas' widow, was to have the part she now occupied (except for a garret over John Hamond's house) for £4 rent without fine, for as long a term as remained in the lease of the Black Bull (due to expire 1633: see 8A1 above), and the company's beadle was to have the other part, with the garret mentioned above, rent free for life.


PropDesc:
Mrs. Hiron married Robert Warner, citizen and waxchandler, and he paid the rent for their part from 1626.


PropDesc:
In 1627 the company viewed the divided tenement again, and said that, of a room now divided between the two parts, the stairs there should remain to Heaton, and the rest of the room to Warner and his wife. They also charged Warner with £20 for repairs done to his tenement, shown to be necessary when repairs were done to the other part. Later in the year they agreed to grant him a lease of his tenement for four years from 1628, for £4 rent and £20 fine to cover the cost of the repairs above; the fine actually paid seems to have been 20 marks (£13. 6s. 8d.).

Another view was taken of the tenement in 1630, which differs in some details from that of 1626, and also in that the measurements vary in some cases by 18 in. or 2 ft. (460 mm. to 610 mm.). The room formerly described as a hall and entry 20 ft. by 15 ft. (6.10 m. by 4.57 m.) was now described as a low room used for a kitchen, 20 ft. long by 8 ft. wide (6.10 m. by 2.44 m.) in one part and 11 ft. (3.35 m.) wide in another; an entry 17 ft. by 3 1/2 ft. (5.18 m. by 1.07 m.) and a buttery 5 1/2 ft. by 3 1/2 ft. (1.68 m. by 1.07 m.) probably also came within the dimensions given in 1626. A room at the stairs' head with staircase and window, 13 ft. by 10 1/2 ft. (3.96 m. by 3.20 m.), was probably identical with the passage 14 ft. by 12 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.66 m.) of 1626. There were a house of office 6 ft. by 4 ft. (1.83 m. by 1.22 m.), two coalhouses 7 1/2 ft. by 5 1/2 ft. (2.29 m. by 1.68 m.) and 6 1/2 ft. by 5 ft. (1.98 m. by 1.52 m.), and another buttery 6 ft. by 3 ft. (1.83 m. by 910 mm.). There were four chambers, 16 ft. by 14 ft. (4.88 m. by 4.27 m.), 17 ft. by 10 1/2 ft. (5.18 m. by 3.20 m.), 17 ft. by 14 1/2 (5.18 m. by 4.42 m.) and 21 ft. by 15 ft. (6.40 m. by 4.57 m.) which probably corresponded with the four chambers mentioned in 1626, though the measurements vary slightly; the fourth chamber, the largest, included a countinghouse. The garret over Hamond's house had been transferred to that and was no longer listed, and the other garret, formerly 23 ft. by 16 ft. (7.01 m. by 4.88 m.), had been divided into 2 garrets 16 ft. by 10 1/2 ft. (4.88 m. by 3.20 m.) and 16 ft. by 11 ft. (4.88 m. by 3.35 m.). The company valued the tenement at £40 fine and £4 rent for a 21-year lease in reversion, and granted William Dawe a 23- year lease from 1632 for that fine and rent.89
	The other part of the tenement was granted to Thomas Heaton, the company's beadle, and held by him rent-free. The company was responsible for repairs, and in 1626-7 spent £53. 15s. 3d. on what must have been major repairs. Probably this included the £20 charged to Warner for repairs done to his house at the same time.

Richard Hatton was in occupation of the part on lease to Dawe in 1652, when he petitioned for a new lease of that part and for a lease of the part formerly in the custody of Thomas Heaton. Heaton appears to have died in or before 1652: £10 was granted towards the cost of his sickness and burial in August that year. Other petitioners for the lease of Heaton's part were William Davis and his wife Beatrice, Anne Tench, widow, and Thomas Carpenter. Both parts of the tenement were viewed, and the company decided to grant Hatton a new lease of both parts, on his surrender of the lease of the part he occupied, for 23 1/2 years from Michaelmas 1652, at £6 rent and £100 fine, payable half at Michaelmas and half at Lady Day 1655, provided he reunited the tenement and kept it so. The views of the 2 parts of the tenement taken in 1652 describe the rooms of each slightly differently from the views in 1626 and 1630. In the part occupied by Dawe or Hatton, the main ground-floor rooms were now described as a passage 16 ft. by 3 ft. 3 in. (4.88 m. by 990 mm.), a hall 12 ft. by 8 ft. (3.66 m. by 2.44 m.), and kitchen 10 1/2 ft. by 8 1/2 ft. (3.20 m. by 2.59 m.). There was a passage room at the stairhead with 2 staircases, a house of office, 'and other holes', measuring 14 ft. by 12 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.66 m.), a room over that 14 ft. (4.27 m.) square, and a room parted, 22 ft. by 16 ft. (6.71 m. by 4.88 m.), which probably represents the 2 chambers 16 ft. by 13 ft. (6.71 m. by 3.96 m.) and 16 ft. by 11 ft. (6.71 m. by 3.35 m.) measured in 1626. There was a room 'over that which Mr. Heaton hath forward' measuring 22 ft. by 14 1/2 ft. (6.71 m. by 4.42 m.): possibly this was the largest chamber and countinghouse, measuring 23 ft. by 16 ft. (7.01 m. by 4.88 m.) in 1626 and 21 ft. by 15 ft. (6.40 m. by 4.57m.) in 1630. The 'garret parted' measured 20 ft. by 14 1/2 ft. (6.10 m. by 4.42 m.). The description of Heaton's part also varied a little from that of 1626 and most of the measurements now given were 9 in. to 2 ft. (230 mm. to 610 mm.) smaller. The entry was now given as 9 ft. 3 in., by 3 1/2 ft. (2.82 m. by 1.07 m.), the yard 16 ft. by 10 ft. (4.88 by 3.05 m.), the passage and staircase 12 ft. by 6 ft. (3.66 m. by 1.83 m.), and the kitchen and larder (probably comprising the kitchen and buttery separately measured in 1626) as 17 ft. by 10 ft. (5.18 m. by 3.05 m.). The cellar was now given as 12 1/2 ft. by 6 1/2 ft. (3.81 m. by 1.98 m.). The hall was said to be 14 ft. (4.27 m.) square: possibly this now included closets or alcoves not previously measured. There was a lodging-room over the hall 13 1/2 ft. by 10 ft. (4.11 m. by 3.05 m.), and a room with 3 closets 20 ft. by 17 ft. (6.10 m. by 5.18 m.) over Richard Hatton's hall. The passage, inner chamber, and closet separately measured in 1626 were probably partly included in the 'staircase, passage, and house of office' now given as 10 ft. by 9 ft. (3.05 m. by 2.74 m.). 'A garret parted', 13 ft. by 12 ft. (3.96 m. by 3.66 m.) was presumably the garret 14 ft. by 13 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.96 m.) over Heaton's house formerly occupied by Mrs. Hiron, measured with her tenement in 1626, and subsequently let to Heaton. Richard Hatton did not take up the new lease offered him in 1652 immediately.

There was a lodging-room over the hall 13 1/2 ft. by 10 ft. (4.11 m. by 3.05 m.), and a room with 3 closets 20 ft. by 17 ft. (6.10 m. by 5.18 m.) over Richard Hatton's hall. The passage, inner chamber, and closet separately measured in 1626 were probably partly included in the 'staircase, passage, and house of office' now given as 10 ft. by 9 ft. (3.05 m. by 2.74 m.). 'A garret parted', 13 ft. by 12 ft. (3.96 m. by 3.66 m.) was presumably the garret 14 ft. by 13 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.96 m.) over Heaton's house formerly occupied by Mrs. Hiron, measured with her tenement in 1626, and subsequently let to Heaton. Richard Hatton did not take up the new lease offered him in 1652 immediately.

PropDimension:
Richard Hatton was in occupation of the part on lease to Dawe in 1652, when he petitioned for a new lease of that part and for a lease of the part formerly in the custody of Thomas Heaton. Heaton appears to have died in or before 1652: £10 was granted towards the cost of his sickness and burial in August that year. Other petitioners for the lease of Heaton's part were William Davis and his wife Beatrice, Anne Tench, widow, and Thomas Carpenter. Both parts of the tenement were viewed, and the company decided to grant Hatton a new lease of both parts, on his surrender of the lease of the part he occupied, for 23 1/2 years from Michaelmas 1652, at £6 rent and £100 fine, payable half at Michaelmas and half at Lady Day 1655, provided he reunited the tenement and kept it so. The views of the 2 parts of the tenement taken in 1652 describe the rooms of each slightly differently from the views in 1626 and 1630. In the part occupied by Dawe or Hatton, the main ground-floor rooms were now described as a passage 16 ft. by 3 ft. 3 in. (4.88 m. by 990 mm.), a hall 12 ft. by 8 ft. (3.66 m. by 2.44 m.), and kitchen 10 1/2 ft. by 8 1/2 ft. (3.20 m. by 2.59 m.). There was a passage room at the stairhead with 2 staircases, a house of office, 'and other holes', measuring 14 ft. by 12 ft. (4.27 m. by 3.66 m.), a room over that 14 ft. (4.27 m.) square, and a room parted, 22 ft. by 16 ft. (6.71 m. by 4.88 m.), which probably represents the 2 chambers 16 ft. by 13 ft. (6.71 m. by 3.96 m.) and 16 ft. by 11 ft. (6.71 m. by 3.35 m.) measured in 1626. There was a room 'over that which Mr. Heaton hath forward' measuring 22 ft. by 14 1/2 ft. (6.71 m. by 4.42 m.): possibly this was the largest chamber and countinghouse, measuring 23 ft. by 16 ft. (7.01 m. by 4.88 m.) in 1626 and 21 ft. by 15 ft. (6.40 m. by 4.57m.) in 1630. The 'garret parted' measured 20 ft. by 14 1/2 ft. (6.10 m. by 4.42 m.). The description of Heaton's part also varied a little from that of 1626 and most of the measurements now given were 9 in. to 2 ft. (230 mm. to 610 mm.) smaller. The entry was now given as 9 ft. 3 in., by 3 1/2 ft. (2.82 m. by 1.07 m.), the yard 16 ft. by 10 ft. (4.88 by 3.05 m.), the passage and staircase 12 ft. by 6 ft. (3.66 m. by 1.83 m.), and the kitchen and larder (probably comprising the kitchen and buttery separately measured in 1626) as 17 ft. by 10 ft. (5.18 m. by 3.05 m.). The cellar was now given as 12 1/2 ft. by 6 1/2 ft. (3.81 m. by 1.98 m.). The hall was said to be 14 ft. (4.27 m.) square: possibly this now included closets or alcoves not previously measured.

Richard Hatton did not take up the new lease offered him in 1652 immediately.


PropDesc:
from 1652 to 1657, Dawe was still said to pay the £4 rent for one part of the tenement, and Hatton paid £2 rent for the part formerly occupied by Heaton.


PropDesc:
. In 1655 Hatton asked the company to view the tenement again, now united: they found that since the lease was offered he had had to pay to raise the kitchen floor, which had fallen down, and do other repairs, totalling £75. In consideration of this they offered him an extension to 31 years from 1655, provided he paid the rest of the fine by then. The lease was actually granted and sealed in 1658, for 29 years from 1657.

PropConditionDesc:

PropDesc:
Hatton paid the £6 rent for both parts of the tenement from 1657 to 1664.


PropDesc:
pid14151's executors paid the rent in 1664-5 and 1665-6


PropDesc:
Richard Hatton occupied a house with 3 hearths in 1662-3. Former descriptions of 8A5 suggest that it was probably larger than this; it could still therefore have been occupied in 2 parts, in which case Thomas Hancocke, whose name follows Hatton's, occupying a house with 4 hearths, was probably holding the other part.

PropDesc:
In 1666 Katharine Hatton, widow, occupied a house in Honey Lane, with 3 hearths; the next-listed house, with 4 hearths, was empty.


PropDesc:
The whole of 8A5 was taken to be laid into the new Honey Lane market place; 'Mrs. Hatton' is marked on a rough plot of the market place, with an area possibly 38 ft. (E.-W.) by 24 ft. 6 in. (N.-S.) (11.58 m. by 7.47 m.). The Mercers' Company was slow to seek compensation, and in 1669 Mr. Hutchinson, former minister of All Hallows Honey Lane, was allowed to act on Mrs. Hatton's behalf before the city's committee for compensation. He obtained a payment of £90 to her and £110 to the company, which he said was £50 more than they could have got without her evidence; Mrs. Hatton was now said to be aged, helpless and living on charity since the Fire, and on her petition the company abated her £8 of the £18 arrears of rent she owed.


PropDesc:
Mrs. Weston, widow, probably late wife of William Weston of the Black Bull (8A1) became tenant in 1518, paying 6s. 8d. for an 'income' and the same rent as before (£2 6s 8d?)


PropDesc:
Repairs in this period included underpinning the 'plat' of the kitchen, and associated work, in 1527-8, at over £6; few repairs were done at the company's cost in the 1530s and none after 1540.

PropDesc:
Simon Strete's will specified that the Grocers should pay £1 yearly from Knolles' tenements for his obit. This obit was recorded in the chantry certificate of 1548 under the name of Simon Streat, as a charge of £1, including 4s. to the poor, on lands worth £2. 6s. 8d. yearly.


PropDesc:
. In 1550 Edward VI granted the 15s. 10d. rent paid by the Grocers for Strete's and Knolles' obits to Augustine Hynde, Richard Turk, and William Blackwell, with many other former chantry rents; Blackwell, the survivor of these 3, granted it to the Grocers in 1562.


PropDesc:
The rent of £2. 6s. 8d. from All Hallows Honey Lane is recorded as being paid by John Eccleston, grocer, from 1530 to 1560. This may be the John Eccleston, grocer, (d. 1551), and his son John, goldsmith, who held 11/2 at this period.

PropDesc:
Probably the tenement was actually assigned or sublet before 1560: Francis Mynn, mercer, was occupying the house once of Stathum in 1553.


PropDesc:
In 1564 Wynn came to the Grocers to claim a lead cistern which they had removed from the tenement once of the late John Eccleston, now of Wynn, in Honey Lane.

PropHistoryDesc:
In 1564 Wynn came to the Grocers to claim a lead cistern which they had removed from the tenement once of the late John Eccleston, now of Wynn, in Honey Lane.


PropDesc:
There is a break in the rent accounts 1560-65. It is possible that a 21-year lease from 1562 was granted in this period: the lease current in the 1570s was due to expire in 1583.


PropDesc:
The rent (still £2. 6s. 8d.) was recorded as paid by John Eccleston by the hand of John Walton in 1565-6


PropDesc:
Repairs were done by the tenant, if at all, after 1540, but in 1572 the company agreed to repair in brick the wall towards Mr. More's yard (8A1) because the timber of it was very rotten.

PropDesc:
In 1577 Richard Yonge was suitor for a lease of the house in Honey Lane. He was offered 30 years at £5 rent or 21 at £4 rent, and chose the latter; he was to surrender the old lease, with 6 years to run, to do repairs and usual covenants, and was given licence to let it to John Leech, schoolmaster, who lived there and on whose behalf he had made the suit, but to no other.


PropDesc:
In 1578 Yonge got licence to let to Thomas Peake or Peke, citizen and goldsmith, for the remainder of his own lease.


PropDesc:
In 1596 Thomas Childe, Jerome Page, grocer, and Richard Peake all petitioned for a lease of the house; Page offered £45 fine. Dorothy Peake, widow, the tenant, also petitioned in 1596, and was granted a 21-year lease from 1598 at the old rent and £50 fine, payable £30 in hand and £20 the next year.


PropDesc:
pid14198 paid the rent from 1596 to 1600


PropDesc:
pid14199 married Robert Coller, who paid the rent from 1600 to 1606.


PropDesc:
In 1601 Coller and Dorothy asked for permission to sublet to Henry Peake, schoolmaster, which was granted after enquiry whether this would be annoying to the neighbours. No further subletting was to take place without licence. Coller agreed to give the company a buck in consideration. Later in 1601 Coller was given permission to assign to George Harvye instead.


PropDesc:
Robert Coller and Thomas (sic) Harvie paid the rent in 1606-7.


PropDesc:
Thomas Harvie paid rent as Coller's assign in 1607-9


PropDesc:
George Harvye paid rent as Coller's assign from 1609 to 1625.
