Stows Survey of London was printed in 1598 and 1603. The huge growth of the metropolis, the devastation wrought by the Great Fire of 1666 and the subsequent rebuilding of the City made an updating of the Survey highly desirable.
John Strype (1643-1737), the ecclesiastical historian and biographer, published a new, hugely expanded version of Stow’s Survey of London in 1720, in two volumes.
An electronic, and online version of Stows Survey (1720), is now available at the Sheffield University.
The following links are to just the keys and references to the maps of the City Wards and London parishes. I have a particular interest in just the Inns which existed at these times, but the detail in the keys are very limited and not well cross-referenced.
I now cross reference using the Morgans Map of London in 1682, this guide, Maitlands survey of 1752 and other early maps.
London Wards in 1598 ; and the Morgans 1682 map of London then this Strypes survey in 1720 and London Wards in 1756
