In 1654 he was made weekly preacher at St Clements, Eastcheap, in London.
With Peter Gunning he disputed against two Roman Catholics on the subject of schism, a one-sided account of which was printed in Paris by one of the Roman Catholic disputants, under the title Scisme Unmaskt (1658).
In 1659 he published in London his celebrated Exposition of the Creed, dedicated to his parishioners of St Clements, Eastcheap, to whom the substance of the work had been preached several years before.

 [No title]
For the history of this little abode of good fellowship, I was referred to a tallow-chandler's widow, opposite, who had been born and brought up on the spot, and was looked up to as the indisputable chronicler of the neighborhood.
To be versed in the history of Eastcheap, great and little, from London Stone even unto the Monument, was doubtless, in her opinion, to be acquainted with the history of the universe.
To get a sight of this picture was now my determination; so, having informed myself of the abode of the sexton, I took my leave of the venerable chronicler of Eastcheap, my visit having doubtless raised greatly her opinion of her legendary lore, and furnished an important incident in the history of her life.

 ***HARBEN DICTIONARY WINDOW***
The name "Eastcheap" was in use for the whole of the street as late as the 16th century, including those portions known subsequently as Great Eastcheap, Little Eastcheap and Little Tower Street.
In 1799, in Horwood's map, the only change to be noted is at the western end, Great Eastcheap not extending as far west as in the earlier maps, but ending at Crooked Lane, which agrees with the description given by Lockie in 1810.
Soon after this date, however, namely about 1831, the extent of the street at its western end underwent considerable curtailment, and a great portion of it was swept away for the formation of the approaches to the New London Bridge.

Comprised of six twenty-something friends who met at Connecticut College, Eastcheap Rep is a rarity among theater companies - members write and develop original full-length plays as a collective unit.

With "Friction" closing tomorrow, Eastcheap members (named for a tavern in Shakespeare's "Henry IV") plan to continue producing original works "on our own terms," says Easley.

 Finnimore Family Genealogy on Finnimore.com
It is unlikely that the John Finnimore from Whitechapel, who stood to benefit on his mother's death from his father's will, made on 23 February 1765, would choose to live in Crooked Lane away from his widowed mother who inherited the estate and effects of her husband.
It is therefore not surprising that twins appear frequently in successive generations and that her surname has been adopted as a second and third name by the eldest sons of successive generations, giving rise to a family line that is often identified as the 'Rexford' Finnimores.
Shortly after their marriage in 1775, John and Mary moved from Eastcheap, which was becoming increasingly noisy, dirty, unhealthy and overcrowded, to the Holborn Circus area just west of the old city walls, where their three eldest children were baptised at St Andrew's, Holborn.

 Review by Paul Berenson
Shakespeare's "Henry IV, Part 2" at The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is a quirky production that juxtaposes the high drama of civil war and the near simultaneous death of the King, to the almost slapstick comedy of Falstaff and The Eastcheap Tavern.
He revels at The Eastcheap for a while with Poins.
It's pretty half hearted, though, and he reproaches himself for wasting time here while others are fighting for the kingdom that will become his.

With the proviso that exceptions must always be excepted, we may say that for a long time humour came to connote comic matter less refined than the matter of wit.
It had about it a smack of the Boars Head Tavern in Eastcheap, and of the unyoked humour of the society in which Prince Henry was content to imitate the sun Who doth permit the base contagious clouds To smother up his beauty from the world.
The presence of a base contagious cloud is painfully felt in the so-called humorous literature of England till the 18th century.

 Shakespeare's Sources for Henry V
But the time Hal spends in Eastcheap, drinking and stealing, is not reported in the Chronicles.
The scene is no doubt incorporated into the play for the sake of comedy, but it also shines a light on Hal’s nature and his motivation for consorting with the likes of Falstaff.
Thus, not only has Hal’s time in Eastcheap brought him closer to the common people, but it has helped him seem like an extraordinarily strong and valiant future ruler in the eyes of the nobility.

TILL comparatively recently next to nothing was known about the Boar's Head Theatre; not even where it was.
For obvious reasons, it was once believed to have been in Eastcheap, but there were several other Boar's Head inns in Elizabethan London besides the famous one in Eastcheap.
It is on record that a play called A Sackful of News was performed in 1557 at the "Boar's Head without Aldgate" and Sir Edmund Chambers suggested that this was identical with the "'Blue Bore Inne" marked on Ogilby's map of 1677.

London’s place in the international wool trade led many foreign traders to take up residence in the City: Danes, Germans, Flemings, and especially northern Italians, who established themselves as bankers.
Local trade was concentrated in two large markets, Cheapside (cheap was the Saxon word for “market”), a general produce market, and Eastcheap, a market for fish and meat.
Side streets specialized in products still remembered by names such as Milk Street, Bread Street, Poultry Lane, and Ironmonger’s Lane.
