Dowgate, according to Stow, was originally called Downgate, and was only a principal key for ships and vessels, to load and land goods and provisions: while Mr. Maitland contends for its being originally the south gate of this city, where was anciently the trajectus, or ferry of Watling street, one of the four great Roman military ways, and that it was by the Britons, under the Roman government, called Dourgate, that is Watergate.

Dowgate Ward, is bounded on the north by Walbrook ward; on the west, by Vintry ward; on the south, by the Thames; and on the east, by Candlewick and Bridge wards: extending from St. Martin’s lane in the east, to Cloak lane in the west, and from thence both east and west to the Thames, in almost a strait line.
In this ward is the parish church of Allhallows the Great; and also Plumbers hall, Watermens hall, Joiners hall, Innholders hall, Skinners hall, and Tallow Chandlers hall; Merchant Taylor’s school, and the Steel Yard.
It has an Alderman, his Deputy, and seven other Common Council men, fourteen wardmote inquest men, five scavengers, eight constables and a beadle. The jurymen returned by the wardmote inquest serve in the several courts of Guildhall in the month of October. Maitland.
