The Account of Putney London – Let the Story Records Say
Putney is a small part within the Manor of Wimbledon. It is located between the parishes of Wandsworth and Barnes and is surrounded on the North by the Thames. It is within the hundred of Brixton, which comes in the county of Surrey. The earliest mention of Putney can be seen in the Doom Book, wherein one can find the mention of Putenlie.
Earl Harold had this fishery in Mortelage (Mortlake) in the time of King Edward, and Archbishop Stigland looked after the same; and yet they say that Harold used force to get it up during King Edwards reign in the land of Chingestune (Kingston), and in the land of Saint Paul’s.

In the first, The first instance is where Robert the Ferryman of Putney and other sailors received 3/6d for carrying a great part of the royal family across the river and also taking the king and his relatives to Westminster.
There were two types of ferry that could be obtained from Putney, the “long ferry” from Putney to London or Westminster and the “short ferry” which ran to Fulham. The former was particularly used by foot passengers to steer clear of the deplorable roads. Horses could, no doubt, be gotten hold of through the number of inns in Putney which were close to the ferry.
