Black Stair

The black stairs are hidden descents and underworks on the lower river. A night action was fought on them during the Thames Reclamation Wars, remembered in the Chronicle as the Night of the Black Stairs. They are recalled for false holiness and for graft that persisted wherever stair law was weak.
