Godden does not mention this silk.

Other comments:
The more popular title of this picture is "Ye Views of Olde London [gt36 on this site]", and is discussed at length by Godden. The multi-silk version above, whilst having the same titles of the individual silks printed on the card mount, the actual silk on the right is different.

The woven silk to the right titled "Ye Olde Bishopsgate" has the building roofline slopes down from left to right, with the two people to the left of the doorway. In the more popular Ye Views of Olde London, this silk is a mirror image, with the roofline sloping upwards, and the two people to the right of the doorway.

The three individual street scene silks were also issued by Grant as individually mounted pictures, being:

gt798 - Ye Church of All Hallows (building to left of weaving)
gt810 - Ye Olde London Streete
gt805 - Ye Olde Bishopsgate (roofline sloping down from left to right)
 
Below is another multi-silk picture with the same title, but with two of the mounted silks being different to the version above:-
Firstly, the Coat Of Arms in this card mount is actually those of Edinburgh, not London.
Secondly, the woven silk to the left titled Ye Church of All Hallows is the version with the building to the right of the weaving, being the mirror image of the version above.
