John Stow
John Stow (also spelled Stowe; 1524/5–5 April 1605) was an English historian and antiquarian best known for his 1598 ''Survey of London''.
==Life==
The son of Thomas Stow, a tallow-chandler, John Stow was born in about 1525 in the parish of St Michael, Cornhill in the City of London, then the nucleus of the metropolis of London. His father's whole rent for his house and garden was only 6s 8d per year, and Stow in his youth fetched milk every morning from a farm belonging to the convent of the Minories.
Stow did not follow his father's trade but was apprenticed as a merchant tailor, being admitted to the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors in 1547 and, by that year, he had established a business at a house near the well within Aldgate, between Leadenhall Street and Fenchurch Street.
In about 1560 he entered upon the work with which his name is associated. In the 1570s, he moved to a house in St Andrew's parish, in Lime Street ward, where he lived until his death.
