John Stow, A survey of London, ed. C.L. Kingsford, 2 vols. (Oxford, 1971), I, 292-3, describes `a shanke bone of a man (as is said) very great and larger by three inches and a halfe then that which hangeth in S. Lawrence church in the Iury, for it is in length 28 inches and a half of assisse, but not as hard and steely...' as hanging in the cloister of the church of St Mary Aldermanbury. Stow adds that it was alleged to have been removed from the charnel house of St Paul's Cathedral, but (perhaps in implicit contradiction of Harrison) casts doubt on this, on the authority of Reyner Wolfe, who had paid for the removal of thousands of cartloads of bones from St Paul's to Moorfields, but knew nothing of any such bone.
