Many tanners had tables there in the 14th century.

"Le Tannersheld," now called "le Cowface," 1544 (L. and P. H. VIII. XIX. Pt. 2, p.315).

Can "Cowface "be an error for" Crownshilde " by misunderstanding and misreading of abbreviation marks and letters?

The" Crownseld " was called "Tamarsilde" by Stow (p.259), which should probably be "Tannarsilde" (See Crowned Seld).
