Descriptions
from A Dictionary of London, by Henry Harben (1918)
Falcon Court
South out of Fleet Street at No. 32, in Farringdon Ward Without (P.O. Directory).
First mention: O. and M. 1677.
Spelt "Faulcon Court" in Rocque, 1746, and Strype, ed. 1720 I. iii. 277.
It seems to have had a passage into the Temple Churchyard, for in 1611 it was resolved that the passage should be stopped and adjacent buildings removed (Middle Temple Records, p. 38).
Named after the Falcon, which, with six other houses adjoining, was left by John Fisher in 1547 to the Cordwainers' Company (Noble, 117).
