Coldharbour House

City of London, United Kingdom

Coldharbour, Cold Harbour, Cold Harborough, Cold Herbergh, or Cold Herberge was an area of the City of London during the Middle Ages. It was in the former parishes of All-Hallows-the-Less and All-Hallows-the-Great (now Dowgate Ward). The names originated with two neighbouring medieval estates. One of the estates, Coldharbour House, belonged to the Dukes of Exeter and was also, briefly, a College of Heralds. From the 13th century to the mid-17th century, the name Coldharbour referred the area between Upper Thames Street and the Thames, to the east of Steelyard (on the later site of Cannon Street Station). It was a liberty until 1608, when James I brought it within the jurisdiction of the City of London. The area was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666.
