Great Trinity Lane
East out of Queen Victoria Street, at No. 71, to Garlick Hill (P.O. Directory). In Vintry, Cordwainer, Bread Street and Queenhithe Wards.
First mention: Strype, ed. 1720, and Lockie, 1810.
Former names: "Holy Trinity Street," 1349 (Ct. H.W. I. 554). "Trinity Lane" (Leake, 1666–Horwood, 1799). "Knightriders Street" (q.v.) (Stow, 354).
Messuages in Breadstreete and Knyhtryderstreete commonly called "Trinitie Lane," in the parish of St. Mildred Breadstreete, 1594–5 (Ct. H.W. II. 722).
It evidently at that time formed part of and was included in Knightrider street, as indicated by Stow.
It was longer formerly than at present, and extended to Old Fish Street, this western end being removed for the formation of Queen Victoria Street.
Named after Holy Trinity Church.
See Knightrider street.
