"VINTRY, THE WARD OF, derives its name from a district called the Vintry, a part of the north bank of the Thames, where Vintner's-hall and Queen-street-place are now built. It was situated at the south end of Three Cranes'-lane, so called, from the cranes with which the wine was landed, and was such a magnificent building that Henry Picard, who was Lord Mayor in 1356, entertained therein the Kings of England, Scotland, France, and Cyprus, with a sumptuous feast in 1363. Vintry Ward is bounded on the north by Cordwainers' Ward; on the east by those of Walbrook and Dowgate; on the south by the river Thames, and on the West by Queenhithe Ward. Its principal streets, are part of Upper Thames-street, College-hill, College-street, Great and Little, part of Queen-street, Great and Little St. Thomas Apostle, and Garlick-hill; and the most remarkable buildings are the parish churches of St. Michael Royal, and St. Martin Vintry, and St. James' Garlick-hithe; and the halls of the Vintners, Cutlers, and Plumbers." [James Elmes, A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Gareth Hicks]
