OLD LONDON The great fire of 1666 entirely destroyed the central and southern portions of the City so that the buildings which survived are all to be found in the North and East. The Churches are very few in number but extremely rich in interest. They are: ?St. Bartholomew the Great, St. Helen s, St. Katherine Cree, St. Giles Cripplegate, Allhallows Barking, St. Olave s, Hart Street, St. Etheldreda, St. Ethel- burga, St. Andrew Undershaft, and the Dutch Church in Austin Friars. There are also parts of the towers of several other Churches: St. Mary Aldermary, St. Lawrence Jewry, with Norman arch, and the porch of St. Sepulchre s, which survived the rebuilding of the body of the Church. Turning to the left at Holborn Circus where Prince Albert may be seen politely saluting the Viaduct we find Ely Place, and when we enter St. Etheldreda s Church the clatter of Holborn falls from us and fades into a drowsy murmur. Ely Place is the site of the Palace of the Bishops of Ely, the Chapel being the last surviving portion of the old foundation. As we pass into the pleasant cloister we are greeted with a cheerful good morning from the good natured and good looking Irish woman who is the custodian of the Church. It was in this cloister?or rather its predecessor for this is a mere fragment?that King Henry VIII. first met Cranmer, and in the garden of which this is a part the strawberries about which Shakespeare speaks m Richard III. used to grow. John of Gaunt, father of Henry IV., when his Palace at the Savoy was burnt down by rioters took refuge here and remained until his death in 1399. In 1576, Sir Christopher Hatton, the Chancellor and favourite of Queen Elizabeth, obtained a lease The Crypt, St. Etheldreda s The Cloisters, St. Etheldreda. ***** Print on Demand *****.<
