Note: Stratford guild rentals show the same tenant, John Hoggekyns, continuing in the Henley Street / Middle Row market area between 1466 and 1473. Middle Row was demolished in the 1590s because it blocked traffic through the market. So the place where John Hoggekyns had his butcher shop literally no longer exists — it sat where the open High Street market area is today.
