unto the Common Weal of the Communalty; to wit, the Poor to drink, the Rich to dress their Meats. Which Water was by them thus brought into Fleetstreet, to a Standard which they had made and finished, 1471. near unto Shoe lane.

The Inhabitants of Fleetstreet, in the Year 1478. obtained Licence of the Maior, Aldermen, and Communalty, to make (at their own Charges) two Cesterns, the one to be set at the said Standard, the other at Fleet Bridge, for the receipt of the waste Water. This Cestern at the Standard they builded, and on the same a fair Tower of Stone, garnished with Images of St. Christopher on the top, and Angels round about lower down, with sweet sounding Bells before them; whereupon, by an Engine placed in the Tower, they, divers Hours of the Day and Night, with Hammers, chimed such an Hymn as was appointed.

This Conduit or Standard, was again new builded, with a larger Cestern, at the Charges of the City, in the Year 1582.

[This Conduit in Fleet street, with some others built at the City's Charge, cost 2000l.]

From this Conduit, up to Fewters lane, and further, is the Parish Church of St. Dunstan, called in the West, for difference from St. Dunstan in the East.

Of this Church it was observed, about the Year 1632. that though it had not been Repaired in Twenty Years before, yet it had more Beauty, and remained fresher and fairer, than many other Churches in London, that had been Repaired and Beautified ten Years after it. Yet shortly after it was intended to be Repaired.]

Infima despiciens,     
sidera celsa colit.
