There was a Parsonage House belonging to this Living, before the great Fire; but burnt down then. The Ground is leased out at 4l. per Ann. for 41 Years: And the Premises rebuilt into two Houses.

Then is Adle street, the Reason of which Name I know not; only that in old Evidences it is written King Adel street; and so called from King Adelstane the Saxon. At this present it is replenished with fair Buildings on both sides. Amongst which, there was sometime the Pinners Hall; but that Company being decayed, [and not wirth a Pin *,] it is now the Plaisterers Hall.

Not far from thence is the Brewers Hall, a fair House. Which Company of Brewers was incorporated by King Henry VI. in the 16th of his Reign. And confirmed by the Name of St. Mary and St. Thomas the Martyr, the 19th of Edward IV.

From the West end of this Adle street, Little Woodstreet, runneth down to Cripplegate. And somewhat East (from the Sun Tavern, against the Wall of the City) is the Curriers Hall.

Now on the West side of Woodstreet, have ye Huggen lane; so called of one Hugan, that of old time dwelled there. He was called Hugan in the Lane, as I have read in the 34th of Edward I. This Lane runneth down by the South side of St. Michaels Church in Woodstreet; and so growing very narrow, by means of late incroachments, to Guthurons lane.

The Parish Church of St. Michael in Woodstreet, is a proper Thing, and lately well repaired; John Jue Parson of this Church, John Forster, Goldsmith, and Peter Fikelden, Taylor, gave two Messuages and Shops, with Sollars, Cellars, and other Edifices, in the same Parish and Street, and in Ladle lane, to the Reparations of the Church, Chancel, and other Works of Charity; the 16 of Richard II.

This Church was repaired and beautified in the Year of our Lord God, 1620. at the Charges of the Parishioners.

In the Year 1627. the Parishioners made a new Door to this Church, through the Head of the North Isle, being the Chancel end, into Woodstreet: Where, till then, it had only one Door in the middle of the South Isle, standing in Huggin lane.

Here was also Queen ELIZABETH'S Monument, with this Inscription.

Here lyes her Type, who was of late     
The Prop of Belgii, Stay of France,
Spains Foile, Faiths Shield, and Queen of State,     
Of Arms, of Learning, Fate and Chance.
In brief, of Women ne'er was seen,
So great a Prince, so good a Queen.

Sith Vertue her Immortal made,     
Death (envying all that cannot dye)
Her earthly Parts did so invade,     
As in it wrackt Self-Majesty.
But so her Spirits inspir'd her Parts,
That She still lives in Loyal Hearts.]
