Lombard's Place

Lombard's Place
   In Botolph Lane, in parish of St. Mary at Hill, in Billingsgate Ward.
   Mentioned in the Churchwardens' Accounts of the parish of St. Mary at Hill.
   "Lumbardi's place in Botolph Lane," 1479-81 (Medieval Records of a London City Church (St. Mary at Hill), Early Eng. Text Soc. I. pp. 103 and 111). "Great Lombard's Place, 1483-5" (ib. 125).
   Gabriel de Urs, a merchant of Venice, lived there in 1483-5 (ib.) and Peter Conteryn of the Venetian family of Contarini in 1485.
   It is interesting to note that "Gabryell lombarde" is mentioned as a tenant in "botoll lane" (Botolph Lane), pp. 112 and 114. Possibly he is to be identified with the Gabriel de Urs above mentioned, and the house may have been named after him.
   It may have been a place of residence or of meeting for the Lombard merchants in London at this time, similar to the one in Clement's Lane.
   See Lombard Court.
