History

Etymology
In the 13th century, the area was known as ''Scadflet'' and ''Shatfliet''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64262 ''Deeds: A.2501 - A.2600'', A Descriptive Catalogue of Ancient Deeds: Volume 2 (1894), pp. 87-99] (Middlesex A2589, c. 1218) accessed: 26 August 2008 – derived from the Anglo-Saxon ''fleot'', meaning a shallow creek or bay – the land was a low lying marsh, until drained (by order of Act of Parliament, after 1587) by Cornelius Vanderdelf.[http://www.mernick.co.uk/thhol/shadwell.html ''Shadwell''] ''The Copartnership Herald'', Vol. II, no. 23 (Christmas 1932-January 1933)accessed: 26 August 2008 A spring, issuing from near the south wall of the churchyard was dedicated to St Chad, and filled a nearby well.[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=46780 ''Book 5, Ch. 3: Parishes east of the Tower'', A New History of London: Including Westminster and Southwark (1773), pp. 769-772] accessed: 26 August 2008 The origin of the name is therefore confused, being associated with both the earlier use and the later well.

Origins
In the 17th century, Thomas Neale became a local landowner, and built a mill and established a waterworks on large ponds, left by the draining of the marsh. The area had been virtually uninhabited and he developed the waterfront, with houses behind as a speculation. Shadwell became a maritime Hamlet (place) with roperies, tanneries, breweries, wharves, smiths, and numerous taverns, built around the chapel of St Paul's. Seventy-five sea captains are buried in its churchyard; Captain James Cook had his son baptised there.

By the mid-eighteenth century, Shadwell Spa was established, producing sulphurous waters, in Sun Tavern fields. As well as medicinal purposes, salts were extracted from the waters; and used by local calicoprinters to fix their dyes.[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=45444 ''Shadwell'', The Environs of London: volume 3: County of Middlesex (1795), pp. 383-390] accessed: 26 August 2008

The modern area is dominated by the enclosed former dock, Shadwell Basin, whose construction destroyed much of the earlier settlement – by this time degenerated into slums. The basin once formed the eastern entrance to the then London Docks, with a channel leading west to St Katharine Docks. It is actually two dock basins - the south basin was constructed in 1828-32 and the north basin in 1854-8.

Unlike nearby Limehouse Basin, few craft larger than canoes can be seen on Shadwell Basin, which is largely used for fishing and watersports - and as a scenic backdrop to the modern residential developments that line it. The basin, however, is still connected to the Thames and the channel is spanned by a bascule bridge.

In the 19th century, Shadwell was home to a large community of foreign British Asian ''lascar'' seamen, brought over from British India by the East India Company. There were also Anglo-Indians, from Interracial marriage and Miscegenation between ''lascar'' seamen and local girls. There were also smaller communities of British Chinese and Greek Britons seamen, who also intermarried and cohabited with locals.

Parish church

St Paul's Church, Shadwell, is traditionally known as the ''Church of Sea Captains''. In 1656 the church was established as a ''Chapel of Ease'', from St Dunstan's, Stepney, at Stepney (parish). In 1669, it was rebuilt as the Parish Church of Shadwell, and it was the last of five parish churches rebuilt after the English Restoration. In 1820, it was again rebuilt as a 'Waterloo church'.

Captain James Cook was an active parishioner and John Wesley preached in the church from time to time. Isham Randolph of Dungeness, one of Thomas Jefferson's grandfathers and son of William Randolph, was married in St. Paul's church. Father of Thomas Jefferson, Peter Jefferson and whose father Thomas Jefferson had and built his estate in Ablemarle County, Virginia's boyhood home was named Shadwell (Virginia) after the Shadwell parish.
