Star Alley

   1) See Star Court, Minories.

   2) South out of Rosemary Lane, near the west end (Hatton, 1708).

   Not named in the maps.

   3) South out of Fenchurch Street at No.52 and east to Mark Lane at No.5. In Langbourn Ward (P.O. Directory).

   First mention: Hatton, 1708.

   It seems to be shown in O. and M. 1677 but not named.

   Strype describes the street as having old built houses on the north side, the church of All Hallows Staining being on the south side (Strype, ed. 1720, I. ii. 164).

   Former names: "Cradoches lane," 12th or 13th Cent. (Anc. Deeds, A. 2406). "Cradocks lane" (S. ed. 1603, p.205), now called "Church Alley." Now called " Star Alley" (Strype, ed. 1720, I. ii. p.159).

   Name derived from the sign.

   4) By London Wall near Bedlam (W. Stow, 1722-P.C. 1732).

   Perhaps = " Star Court."
