St Martin's Lane is a street in the City of Westminster, which runs from the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, after which it is named. Until the time of James I, St. Martin's Lane was a country lane linking the churches of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and St. Giles-in-the-Fields; as such it was probably in existence at the beginning of the 13th century, and there may have been a field path there even earlier. Beginning in the early 17th century the rural location was gradually built up, with the west side inhabited by a number of famous people where there were large houses with stables and coach houses annexed to them. The east side seems to have been occupied mainly by traders and artisans. By then end of the century, when the tune was first published, the residential part of the lane seems to have become a fashionable situation for doctors and artists, such as William Hogarth. Old Slaughter's Coffee House on the west side of St. Martin's Lane was founded in 1692 by Thomas Slaughter and became a favorite resort of artists living in the neighborhood. | |||

St Martin's Lane is a street in the City of Westminster, which runs from the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, after which it is named. Until the time of James I, St. Martin's Lane was a country lane linking the churches of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and St. Giles-in-the-Fields; as such it was probably in existence at the beginning of the 13th century, and there may have been a field path there even earlier. Beginning in the early 17th century the rural location was gradually built up, with the west side inhabited by a number of famous people where there were large houses with stables and coach houses annexed to them. The east side seems to have been occupied mainly by traders and artisans. By then end of the century, when the tune was first published, the residential part of the lane seems to have become a fashionable situation for doctors and artists, such as William Hogarth. Old Slaughter's Coffee House on the west side of St. Martin's Lane was founded in 1692 by Thomas Slaughter and became a favorite resort of artists living in the neighborhood.
