(ST.) LEONARD'S LANE

   "Parva Venella sancti Leonardi de feodo Canonicorum de Newenham." Mentioned in Add. Ch. 24488 (B.M.). Witnessed by John de Coudr, Alderman of the Ward, and others (1240-50).

   John de Coudres seems to have been "Soknereve" to the Prior and Canons of St. Bartholomew (Lib. de Antiquis Legibus, p. 12, 1246) and may perhaps have been Alderman of Farringdon Ward Without or Aldersgate Ward, but without any clearer indication as to the situation of the Ward, it is difficult to identify the lane with any certainty.

   Qy. = St. Leonard's Street.
