LITTLE ST. HELEN'S

   A large court on the east side of Bishopsgate Street leading to Leathersellers' Hall, etc. (S. ed. 1598, p. 133-Horwood, 1799).

   It was rebuilt more regularly in 1799 as St. Helen's Place, but continued also to be called "Little St. Helen's" for some years (Elmes, 1831).

   It was called "Little St. Helen's" because it pertained to the Nuns of St. Helen's and was their house (S. ib.).

   The Hall of the Priory stood here and the almshouses of the Leathersellers' Company (ib.).

   Called "Little St. Helen's Close" in Strype, ed. 1720, I. ii. 105.

   See St. Helen's Place.
