CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'St. Georges Feildes Southwark. The manor of Old Paris Garden in 1627. Reduced one Third in Size from the Plan in Possession of the Copyholders'

This map by local historian and resident William Joseph Meymott shows the the Manor of Paris Garden, Southwark, as it was in 1627. The Manor is roughly coincident with the parish of Christ Church, has been a well-defined area from the early mediaeval period. It was bounded on the north by the Thames and on the other three sides by a stream or open sewer which ran in a wide loop round the manor from the Old Barge House Stairs, south to what is now Surrey Row, and north again to the river near Falcon Dock (now just west of the Tate Modern). The stream may have been in part a natural feature, though it is unlikely that it was so for the whole of its length, but the earth wall which flanked it was certainly man-made. Until the mid 20th century, this survived as a street named Broadwall, since redeveloped. The map shows the "Olde Paye House", a round structure close to the Manor House. This building was the Swan theatre, built in 1595 on top of a previously standing structure, during the first half of William Shakespeare's career; its form would have been similar to today's reconstructed Globe Theatre
