Coneyhope Lane

Coneyhope Lane:    North out of the Poultry in the Parish of St. Mildred, Poultry (S. 265).

   Earliest mention: "Conohop Lane," 1292 (Ct. H.W. I. 106).

   Other names and forms of name : "Conynghoplane," 1328 (ib. 332). "Conynghope lane," 1390 (ib. II. 281). "Conyhopplane," 1582 (Lond. I. p.m. III. 51). "Grocer's Alley," anciently called "Coneyhope Alley" (Maitland, 1775).

   The chapel of St. Mary de Coneyhope was in the lane and also the Grocers' Hall.

   The site is now occupied by Grocers' Hall Court (q.v.).

   The name seems to have been derived from a messuage called "Conhop" or "Coninghop," which, according to Stow, had for its sign three coneys in a hoop (S. 265).

   In Middle English "coning" was the usual form of the word "coney."
