Honey Lane, former site of the Great Conduit on Cheapside - scene of a pageant for Anne Boleyn

            Along Cheapside two displays were held during Anne Boleyn’s coronation procession. The first was held at Cheapside Cross, long gone, which involved the Recorder of London and the Aldermen, who greeted Anne and spoke verses to her. As contemporary chronicler Edward Hall noted, the Recorder, ‘gaue to her in the name of the Citie a thousand markes in golde, in a Purse of golde, whiche she thankefully accepted with many godly words’.

The other pageant was held at the Great Conduit which was situated by Honey Lone. Here a pageant on the Judgment of Paris was held. Paris of Troy is asked to judge who of three goddess – Juno, Pallas and Venus – should be rewarded with the golden apple, a prize which he granted to Venus. The renowned story is given a slight twist here. When Anne approached the display Paris was just about to give the apple to Venus but upon seeing Anne he grants her the prize.
