(St.) Martin Pomary

A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

On the east side of Ironmonger Lane. In Cheap Ward (Leake, 1666).

Earliest mention found in records : "St. Martin Pomer," 1250-1 (Watney, p. 257, quoting Cartulary, fo. 49) ; but See Martin (St.) in the Jewry.

Other forms of name : "St. Martin in Ismongerelane," 1277 (Cal. L. Bk. B. p. 265). "Par' S' martini de pomerio," 1285 (D. and C. St. Paul's, Lib. L. fo. 115). "St. Martin de Pomer," 1305 (Ct. H.W. I. 169). "St. Martin de Pomers," 1316 (ib. 266). "St. Martin the Less in Ismongerelane," 1350-1 (ib. 645). "St. Martin in Pomerio," 1361 (Cal. P.R. Ed. III. 1361-4, p. 22). "St. Martin Pomers," 1383 (Ct. H.W. II. 237). "St. Martin Pomere," 1505-6 (ib. 611). "St. Martin Pomary" (S. 272). "St. Martin Pomerye," 1630 (Ct. H.W. II. 753).

Stow says the name "Pomary" is supposed to have been added of Apples growing, where are now houses (S. 272).

The Latin word "pomarium" = orchard, "pomerium" in mediaeval Latin an open space, and it has been suggested that the name is derived from this word "pomerium," the sacred belt of land outside a Roman city, marking the limits of the first Roman "Londinium."

Repaired and beautified 1629 (Strype, ed. 1720, I. iii. 39). Burnt in the Fire and not rebuilt.

Parish united to St. Olave Jewry.

See St. Martin in the Jewry.
