  1. Custom House, City of London

    The Custom House , on the north bank of the River Thames Thames in the City of London was formerly in use for the collection of customs duties . It was in use for many centuries and rebuilt on a number of occasions. History Until 1814 the Custom House stood in the parish of All Hallows Barking, immediately to the east of the present site. The site was long known as Wool Quay , and, from the medieval period, a custom house was necessary there to levy the duty payable on exported wool. Such a building is recorded as early as 1377. The quay and the buildings on it were privately owned. Around 1380, one John Churchman built a custom house there to collect dues for the City of London, and in 1382 the crown came to an agreement to use its facilities. Churchman s custom house remained in use until 1559, the freehold passing through various hands. Its replacement was erected under the direction of William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester William Paulet , Marquess of Winchester, the Lord High Treasurer. A print from 1663 shows it as a three storey building, with octagonal staircase towers. This structure was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666.
