Pope Lane End

Pope Lane End
   According to Stow the parish church of saint Anne in the willowes lay on the north side of this lane (S. 309).
   Earliest mention: "Popes lane," temp. Ed. I. (H. MSS. Com. 9th Rep. p.13), in. which certain tenements are described as in the parish of St. John Zachary, bounded on. The north by Popes lane, on the east by Seint Fastes lane, opposite the church of St. John Zachary.
   It would seem therefore to be identical with" St. Ann's Alley " (q.v.). So named of one Pope, that was owner thereof (S. 309).
