GOODMANS FIELDS was tenters land , just outside the walls of the City of London , where woollen cloth workers hung finished cloth to dry.
From the 16th century the open ground was divided into garden plots and was bought by Sir John Leman, Lord Mayor of London, whose great-nephew William Leman laid out four streets, named after relatives - Mansell, Prescot, Ayliff and Leman.
John Strype in 1717 described them as fair streets of good brick houses, but by the end of the century most were replaced by Richard Leman and his builder Edward Hawkins:
The area remained fashionable, until sugar blowing, and then warehouses, encroached.
Goodmans Field was where the Baptist OratorAbraham Boothe preached in the open air; close by was the Prescott Street Baptist Church where he was pastor for 37 years .
John Young in Mansell street was a cabinet maker & upholsterer and it seems he may have came from generations of the same occupation

Crime was rife, including against children.
In 1755 Elizabeth Souther, a beggar, took a 7-year-old girl into a 'house of office' [outdoor privy] on Rosemary Branch Alley and stole her stays, which she pawned for one shilling. Souther professed she was stupefied in liquor and knew nothing of it.
Rictor Norton in ch.10 of The Georgian Underworld quotes from The Triumph of Wit, a 'canting dictionary' whose classification of beggars includes paillards or clapperdogeons who, from infancy, counterfeit lameness, making their legs, arms and hands appear to be sore, and very nauseous, with cream and blood, butter and soap, ointment and corrosives, and sometimes by putting on counterfeit lame legs, and false witheríd arms, making horrible wry faces, and setting off their story of being shot, burnt, scalded, perished with the evil, and the like, with a lamentable voice ... mumpers - genteel beggars, who begged alms from travellers at inns and street corners, or by knocking at doors; and baudy baskets, women who wandered the streets with a basket under their arm and a child, pretending to sell toys and trifles, and so beg or steal, as they see occasion, and find opportunity.
