® quaint title. (See the Anecdotes of 
British Topography, vol. 1. p. 616.) 
TRINITY CHAPEL, ALDERSGATE STREET. 
It seems to have been the common 
hall of the guild of the Holy Trinity, found- 
ed in St. Botolph’s charch, Aldersgate ; 
to which belonged eight messuages , all 
below Trinity Hall) It was founded in 
the fifty-first year of King Edward the

HAGGERSTONE, IN THE PARISH OF SHORE-. 
DITCH. + 
This remnant of a village, now scarcely. 
known but. by its name, was once re- 
markable. It was in ancient times of 
sufficient. consequence to be mentioned 
in the Domesday Survey, where it is re- 
cistered as one of the manors of Robert 
de Gernon, who assisted the Congneror 
in the invasion of the realm. The Nor 
man scribes called it Hergotestane, pro- 
bebly from its vicinity to the Roman mili- 
tary road, or Erniin-street; the derivation f 
of the name ef which is somewhat simi- 
lar. Hereman was Saxon for a 
Of its subsequent history, our written m- 
formation is but scanty, In the. reign of 
Richard the. First it was called Hargo- 
delston, and was .held of Richard ‘de 
Monttichet (the. great-grandson of Ro- 
bert de Gernon), by Nicholas de Bassing- 
bourne, as the fourth part of a fee, whose 
son, ae Thomas de Bassingbourne, for 
the consideration of thirty marks, con- 
veyed his tenement here to the Dean and 
Chapter of St. Paul’s. 
From this period. to the middle of 
Queen Ehizabeth’s reign, we find but one 
mention of it, in the 35th of Henry VIL. 
when certain messuages occur here ag 
parcel of the dissolved Priory’ of St. 
Mary Spital. 
From. other documents, it appears, 
about 1572, to have been in the pusses- 
sion of Sir Roger Cholmeley; and in the 
middle of the seventeenth century, to 
lands in-the parish of St. Leonrd, Shore- 
ditch, belonging to Thomas Byde, Esq.

act of parliament of 1725-6.
