DG Note

The Church of St Nicholas Shambles was built off Newgate Street in the City of London sometime before 1196, next to an abattoir, and was demolished in 1547. The parish
united with that of Christ Church Greyfriars, Newgate Street at the same time, and the endowments were transferred to St Bartholomew's Hospital by the charter of Henry VIII.
The map above shows the area of St. Nicholas Shambles (lost in the Great Fire of London 1666). Note that Smithfield Meat Market developed in this area. Perhaps Philip
Greenly came to London where he could butcher the Herefordshire Cattle from his home.
You can see from the will below that Alice wife of Philip) has died and the family are still in Butchering. Note that Alice had servants.

This Will is a long complex one and the full transcription, by Barbara Childs has been much abridged. It is however especially interesting as it explains how the beneficiaries had to change their
name to GREENLY to inherit the very wealthy family estates. By the time it was sorted Sir Isaac was the late Sir Isaac, Mrs & Mrs HASTINGS were Sir and Dame HASTINGS. Anyone
researching Lady GREENLY may be interested to know that there is an account of her life on the site devoted to Lady Llanofer, the
Bee of Gwent - they were close friends.
