Britain's Tudor Maps: County by County

In the reign of Mary I, 78 were burned in London alone. [127] After her reign, John Foxe collected stories of Protestant martyrs in his Acts and Monuments, published in Aldersgate. [130] Under Elizabeth I, Catholics were less likely to be burned for heresy, but more likely to be executed for treason. From 1584, anyone who became a Catholic priest after Elizabeth's accession was declared guilty of treason. [125] Instead, those burned for heresy were more likely to be from radical Protestant sects such as Anabaptism. In 1575, two Dutch Anabaptists from Aldgate are burned at the stake.

The first maps of London were made in this period. One is by George Hoefnagel and Frans Hogenberg. It was published in 1572, but shows the city as it was around 1550. [8] The Agas map, attributed to the surveyor Ralph Agas, was made around 1561. [9] John Norden made maps of the City and Westminster in his Speculum Britanniae in 1593. [10] In 1598, John Stow published his Survey of London, a thorough topographical and historical description of the City.

Seymour was captured and sent to the Tower of London before being exiled to Richmond Palace [121] and executed on Tower Hill in 1552. [32] The Execution of Lady Jane Grey by Paul Delaroche, 1833

Malevolent nurture: Witch-hunting and maternal power in early modern England (Cornell University Press, 1995). Disasters often necessitated rebuilding work: great fires are recorded in 1485, 1504, 1506, and 1538. [43] In 1506, a great storm blew off tiles on houses and the weathervane on top of St. Paul's Cathedral. [44] In 1544, 1552, 1560 and 1583, stores of gunpowder exploded in London, often killing several people as well as damaging buildings. [45] In April 1580 there was some damage to chimneys and walls in the Dover Straits earthquake of 1580. [46] Demography [ edit ] Livery companies also founded their own schools, such as the Mercers' School in Old Jewry in 1541, [30] and the Merchant Taylors' School on Suffolk Lane in 1561. [108] The City of London was governed by the Court of Aldermen, a group of officials, each representing a division of the City called a ward. [64] Before 1550, there were 25 wards, with Southwark being added to make 26 in that year. [65] Each year, the aldermen chose one of their number to act as Lord Mayor. The legislative branch of the City leadership was the Common Council, which had over 200 members. [64] [66] The administration of the City was based in the Guildhall, where it still stands.Elizabeth's final two decades saw mounting problems that were left for the Stuarts to solve after 1603. John Cramsie, in reviewing the recent scholarship in 2003, argues: In the reigns of Edward VI and Elizabeth I, many grammar schools were founded to replace educational establishments that had been run by monks and dissolved. [108] Christ's Hospital was founded in 1552, on the grounds of Greyfriars. [136] In 1558, Enfield Grammar School was refounded. [9] In 1560, Elizabeth refounded Westminster School with 40 free places for boys known as the Queen's Scholars. [108] Kingston Grammar School and St. Olave's Grammar School were both set up in 1561, [108] Highgate School in 1565, [137] Harrow School in 1572, and Queen Elizabeth's School in Chipping Barnet in 1573. [138] In 1600, an ambassador arrived in London from modern-day Morocco called Abd el-Ouahed ben Messaoud, seeking an alliance between the King of Barbary and Elizabeth I. He brought a retinue of 17 other Muslim men with him, and had a portrait painted during his visit. [57] Wernham, Richard Bruce.
