 On the left side of it is "Bermondsey House," of which I can only suppose that it was a house formerly belonging to the Abbey of Bermondsey.

Next is a piece of ground marked with the name of "Mr. Weldon," and next to that two houses and a garden marked as "Mr. Candish his garden."

Candish, otherwise Cavendish's Bents, is now Mark Brown's wharf, Goulding's and Davis's wharfs, and Potter's Fields.

Then follows the "Whitsters" (bleachers) Ground and two gardens, on which St. Olave's new grammar school, Mr. Ledger's house and premises, and Hartley's wharf now stand, which bring us to Horselydown Lane; on the east side of which is "The Knights House" (i.e. the house of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem), since known as the manor-house, now Messrs. Courage's brewery; and on the river-side "St. John of Jerusalem's Mill." Eastward of the Knights House, on the plan, is an orchard, a garden, the " Washers Field," and the "Whitsters Field," which comes up to St. Saviour's dock, leaving onlv a road between them and the water, and there are no buildings shown on the water side of that road from Bermondsey House to Dockhead.

On the other side of Horsey down, we have "Jacobs Garden," and a field on the east side of "Rooper Lane" (now Church Street), and on the west side, "Newman's House" (where Messrs. Slee and Payne's premises now are) and part of Bermondsey Parish, and "Glene his Bents," which is where Barnham Street (formerly Dog and Bear Yard), College Street, Magdalen Street and Circus, and Grieveson's Bents now are.

At the Dockhead is a field called "Ould Thompsons Field," and near it a large house called "The Hermitage."
