(St.) Olave next Dowgate

(St.) Olave next Dowgate
   Eight tenements in the parishes of St. Olave and All Saints next Dowgate, 35 H. VIII. (L. and P. H. VIII. D.S. XVIII. (2), p. 61).
   It is difficult to know what this means, for the plural "parishes" would not be required if it were merely an instance of a double dedication of the church of All Hallows the Great to All Hallows and St. Olave's. There is no existing parish of St. Olave near Dowgate. Perhaps the expression next Dowgate" is only intended to apply to All Saints, in which case the particular parish of St. Olave, in which certain of these tenements were situated, is not indicated.
