West out of the Minories. In Portsoken Ward (P.C. 1732-Boyle, 1799).
Former name : "Crown Court" (O. and M. 1677).
In Strype's map, ed. 1720, "Black Horse Alley" (q.v.) seems to occupy the site of Crown Court.
Crown Alley disappeared towards the end of the 18th century, when much of the western side of the Minories was rebuilt.
