Maps

Agas, Ralph, Civitas Londinum, A map of London of uncertain date, probably between 1570 and 1605. St. Bartholomew's is well shown: the nave destroyed; a bell tower on the north side of the quire; 'le cheyne' in front of the west end of the nave; a water conduit in the Close; the Fair ground unbuilt upon and the priory garden existing. St. Paul's is shown without its spire, which was burnt in 1561. The original of this map is in the Guildhall (pl. LVI b, Vol. II, p. 110).

Anthonie van den Wyngaerde, View of London circa 1550. A pen drawing with considerable detail. A large bell tower is shown on the north side westward of the quire. It has been reproduced by the Typographic Etching Company from the original drawing in the Sutherland collection at the Bodleian Library, also for Mediaeval London by the late Dr. William Benham and Mr. Charles Welch, 1901 (pl. LVI a, Vol. II, p. 110). The reproduction in Maps of Old London published by A. and C. Black, 1908, is a copy much altered by N. Whittock in 1849.

Fairthorne and Newcourt, City of London, 1658. St. Bartholomew's is shown as in Norden's map, though larger. The house over the monastic gate into the close is clearly shown.

Hoefnagel, Londinum Feracissimi Angliae Regni Metropolis. A map of London of uncertain date. St. Paul's is shown with a spire. It is taken from Braun and Hogenburg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum, 1572. It may be earlier than the Agas map, which is almost identical with it as regards St. Bartholomew's except that Hoefnagel does not show 'le cheyne'.

Hollar, View of London, 1647. St. Bartholomew's is hidden by St. Paul's; it is reproduced by the London Topographical Society.

Norden, John, Map of London, 1593. It is on a very small scale. It shows the Fair ground crowded with small houses.

Plans

Hardwick, Thomas (architect), Plan of the priory in 1791, also sections north to south, now belonging to the Society of Antiquaries. Interesting and useful, but the arcading on the south wall was conjectural only and not correct (pls. LXXII, LXXIII, Vol. II, pp. 134, 136).
