Cornhill

From Mansion House east to No. 1 Gracechurch Street (P.O. Directory). In Cornhill Ward.

One of the principal streets of the City.

Earliest mention: "Cornhilla," c. 1125–1130 (MSS. D. and C. St. Paul's, Hist. MSS. Com. 9th Rep. p. 61).

See Cornhill (Soke of).

Edward Hupcornehill was a burgess in 1115 (S. 123), in 1125 (Cal. L. Bk. C. p. 219) "Upcornehill."

In early times, and so late as the 16th century, Cornhill seems to have extended further east and to have included part of Leadenhall Street to Lime Street and St. Andrew Undershaft Church (S. 152), in which case it would have included both the eastern and western slopes of the "hill," whereas now the name is used to designate the western slope only.

The church of St. Andrew Undershaft for instance is referred to in early records as St. Andrew upon Cornhill (See St. Andrew Undershaft).

Foreign bakers were directed to stand in Cornhylle between the Conduit and Ledynhalle, 15 H. VI. (1437) (Cal. L. Bk. K. p. 45).

In the 14th century it was the only market allowed to be held after noon.

Stow says a corn market had been held here time out of mind (S. 188), and that in 1522 the Rippers of Rie and other places sold their fresh fish in Leadenhall Market, upon Cornhill, but forraine butchers were not admitted there to sell flesh till 1533 (ib.).

There are numerous references to the market held on Cornhill in Liber Albus, Liber Custumarum and the Letter Books.

The principal features of interest distinguishing the street were "The Weyhouse" (S. 193); The Standard; The Tun (q.v.), and later the Royal Exchange.

Largely occupied by drapers (S. 82, 200).

Cornhill was one of the four ways forming "the Carfax" (q.v.) referred to in the City records.

Roman wall and pavement found between Bank Buildings and the Royal Exchange, apparently running in the direction of the Bank, 7 ft. thick, 14 ft. high, and 20 ft. deep from the bottom to the street level. Pottery also found (Arch. XXIX. 273). Roman walls also found at No. 50, at a depth of 12 ft. 7 in. (Arch. LX. 223).

from Lockie's Topography of London, by John Lockie (1810)

Cornhill,—extends from the Mansion-house to Leadenhall-st. and 124, Bishopsgate-st. and is about ⅕ of a mile in length.

from A Topographical Dictionary of London and Its Environs, by James Elmes (1831)

Cornhill, one of the principal streets and thoroughfares in the city, extends from the western end of Leadenhall-street, of which it is a continuation, crossing westward to the Mansion-house. It is so called from being the spot where the ancient corn-market was held, and gives its name to Cornhill Ward.

from London Past and Present: Its History, Associations, and Traditions, by Henry Benjamin Wheatley and Peter Cunningham (1891)

Cornhill, between the Poultry and Leadenhall Street, an important portion of the greatest thoroughfare in the world, was, says Stow, "so called of a corn market time out of mind there holden." At the beginning of the 14th century and probably long before the corn market was held at Graschirche [Gracechurch], at the east end of Cornhill, and a general market on Cornhill proper. In 1310 a royal proclamation commanded that henceforth no one should presume "to hold a common market for any manner of merchandise ... after the hour of noon ... in any other place within the City save only upon Cornhulle." The markets in Chepe and elsewhere were to be closed at noon. In course of time the Cornhill market-people presumed too much upon their privilege; and in 1369 the evening market was forbidden to be kept open after sunset.

Whereas many perils and great mischiefs have happened oftentimes heretofore, by reason of the Evynchepynge, which is held so late in the night upon Cornhulle, seeing that old clothes that have been dubbed have been often sold there for new clothes, in great deceit and to the loss of the common people; and that divers things stolen in divers places are there privily sold to the great damage and scandal of the City; and many brawls and disorders have oft times there arisen ... we do therefore command ... that no man or woman shall be so daring as to carry clothes or any other things to sell upon Cornhulle, after the bell has been rung that hangs upon the Tun at Cornhulle—the which bell shall be rung at sunset—on pain of forfeiture, etc.—Riley, Memorials, p. 339.

For the punishment and warning of evildoers, a pillory and stocks were set up on Cornhill. In the stocks sturdy beggars who ventured into the City were (1359) ordered for the first offence to be put for half a day, and for the second to "remain one whole day." The pillory was for false dealers. Thus John Gyles, sone of Refham, being charged, May 6, 1348, that he had on that day "exposed for sale putrid and stinking meat," he acknowledged that "shortly before he sold the meat aforesaid, he had found a certain dead sow, thrown out near the ditch without Alegate, which sow he then flayed, and the flesh of the same, cooked as well as raw, he exposed for sale," etc. Upon which very candid confession, "conference having been held between the Mayor, Aldermen and commonalty ... it was awarded "that the said John should be carried with the skin and flesh of the said sow before him to the pillory on Cornhill, and that he "should be first set upon the pillory there, and the said flesh be burnt beneath him, while upon the pillory." More important offenders were brought from Newgate upon a hurdle, or a horse without saddle, "with trumpets and pipes before them," through the street of Cheap, to the pillory on Cornhill, and made to stand there for an hour or longer, according to their offence. Below the pillory was the cage.

Besides the pillory and the stocks Cornhill had its prison, called the Tun, for street offenders; its conduit "of sweet water," and its standard. The Tun was built in 1282 by Henry de Waleis, Mayor, who built the Stock Market. It was enlarged in 1475 by Sir Robert Drope, Mayor, and its site is at present marked by an unused pump nearly facing No. 30. The conduit adjoining it was first built of stone by Henry de Waleis, but it was re-erected in 1401; and the standard in 1582, for water from the Thames, brought by an artificial forcer invented by Peter Morris, a Dutchman, the first person who conveyed Thames water into houses by pipes of lead. The standard stood near the junction of Cornhill with Leadenhall Street, and was an object of such mark that distances throughout England were measured from it as the heart of the City.

Then into Corn-Hyl anon I yode,
Where was mutch stolen gere amonge;
I saw where honge myne owne hoode,
That I had lost amonge the thronge:
To by my own hood I thought it wronge,
I knew it well as I dyd my crede,
But for lack of money I could not spede.
Lydgate, London Lickpenny.
I have seen a Quinten set upon Cornehill, by the Leadenhall, where the attendants on the lords of the merry disports have run and made great pastime.—Stow, p. 36.

The Drapers' Company had a hall on Cornhill in the 14th century, and in 1511 Roger Achley, the Mayor, dwelt in a house here for which he paid £1 : 6: 8 rent. There are two churches upon Cornhill, St. Peter's and St. Michael's, both on the south side. The Royal Exchange is on the north. Gray, the poet, was born December 26, 1716, in a house on the site of No. 41. The original house was destroyed by fire, March 25, 1748, and immediately rebuilt by Gray.

The house I lost was insured for £500, and with the deduction of three per cent they paid me £485. The rebuilding will cost £590, and the other expenses, that necessarily attend it, will mount that sum £650.—Gray to Wharton, June 5, 1748.
I give to Mary Antrobus of Cambridge, spinster, my second cousin, by the mother's side, all that my freehold estate and house in the parish of St. Michael, Cornhill, London, now let at the yearly rent of sixty-five pounds, and in the occupation of Mr. Nortgeth, perfumer.—Gray's Will.

Mr. Bray ley mentions1 that as late as 1824 the house No. 41 was inhabited by a perfumer. It has now been for many years in the occupation of Mr. Barraud, the watch and chronometer maker, by whose time-piece City men are wont to set their watches. When Crabbe, the poet, came to London in 1780, his only acquaintance was a Mrs. Richardson, the wife of the senior partner in the firm of Burcham and Co., linen drapers, No. 77 Cornhill, and to be near her he took lodgings at W. Vickery's, a hair-dresser, 119 Bishopsgate Within. At the point formed by the junction of Cornhill and Lombard Street was the shop of the bookseller, Thomas Guy, the founder of Guy's Hospital. In the years previous to the suppression of lotteries it was the office of Bish, the lottery agent, or "last contractor," as he styled himself in his advertisements, 1826, of "the last state lottery in this kingdom." No. 15 was Alderman Birch's (Lord Mayor in 1815), the oldest confectioners in London, and famous especially for turtle soup. Birch died in 1840, having sold the business four years before. The shop (now Messrs. Ring and Brymer, noted caterers of City banquets) in its exterior and interior work still shows the style of 1815 or earlier. Notice the character of the decorations. No. 65, at the other end of Cornhill, was the office of Messrs. Smith and Elder, the publishers, and is noteworthy for its connection with Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte and her biographer Mrs. Gaskell. It was from this, "Our storehouse being in Cornhill," wrote Thackeray in his preface to the first number of the Cornhill Magazine, "we date and name our magazine from its place of publication." The shops in Cornhill are mostly small, but the rents are probably higher than anywhere else in London. Of late years, however, several banks, assurance offices, and chambers of considerable size and architectural pretension have been built here.2 [See Pope's Head Alley; St. Michael's Alley; Freeman's Court; Birchin Lane; The Tun; The Standard.]
