(ST.) LEONARD'S STREET

   This street was within the precinct of St. Martin's le Grand, adjoining the church of St. Leonard, Foster Lane, and in 9 Ed. I. permission was granted to the Canons to enclose the lane (venella) called St. Leonard's Street (vicus) next the church because of the enormities committed there and the dirtiness of the Esterlings, who frequented it, saving only ingress and egress to the church of St. Leonard towards the east part (Ch. I. p.m.).

   Perhaps identical with St. Leonard's Lane (q.v.).
