A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

1) Rents and shops called "Helle" in Fletestrate and others in "Hollebourne strate," etc., belonging to Adam Wade in 1310 (Ct. H.W. I. 212).


Not further identified.

"Helle" probably = "Hall."

2) A big stone hall and little stone hall so called with a wharf in the lane called "Fatteslane" in parish of St. James in the Vintry, 1295 (Ct. H.W. I. 122).

Apparently the word = "Hall" with a somewhat different pronunciation from that in use at the present day.
