Descriptions
from the Grub Street Project, by Allison Muri (2006-present)
Little Eastcheap. Mentioned by Stow in his Survey of London (1598):
The Garland in Little East Cheape, sometimes a brewhouse, with a garden on the backside, adjoining to the garden of Sir John Philpot, was the chief house in this East Cheape; it is now divided into sundry small tenements, &c. ... [T]he parish church of St. Leonard, Milke church ... commonly called St. Leonard's in East Cheape, because it standeth at the East Cheape corner. (79-80)
In Leake's map, 1666, the portion of Eastcheap from Botolph Lane west to Fish Street Hill.
In O. and M. 1677 and Rocque, 1746, the portion of Eastcheap extending from St. Mary Hill to Fish Street Hill.
