Vine Court lay by the Custom House in Tower Ward, in the City of London. The Custom House in this location burnt down in the Great Fire, it was rebuilt by Wren, but then burnt down again in 1714-15. It was rebuilt but when it was once again burnt in 1814, it was rebuilt elsewhere, see Henry A. Harben, A Dictionary of London (London, 1918).
