St. Margaret's in Eastcheap
ST. MARGARET'S IN EASTCHEAP NINE HUNDRED YEARS OF HISTORY A Lecture delivered to St. Margaret's Historical Society on January 6th, 1967 by Dr. Gordon Huelin "God that suiteth in Trinity, send us peace and unity". St. Margaret's In Eastcheap : Nine hundred years of History. During the first year of his reign, 1067, William the Conqueror gave to the abbot and church of St. Peter's, Westminster, the newly-built wooden chapel of St. Margaret in Eastcheap. It was, no doubt, with this in mind that someone caused to be set up over the door of St. Margaret Pattens the words “Founded 1067”. Yet, even though it seems to me to be going too far to claim that a church of St. Margaret's has stood upon this actual site for the last nine centuries, we in this place are certainly justified in giving' thanks in 1967 for the fact that for nine hundred years the faith has been preached and worship offered to God in a church in Eastcheap dedicated to St. Margaret of Antioch. In the year immediately following the Norman Conquest much was happening as regards English church life. One wishes that more might be known of that wooden chapel in Eastcheap, However, over a century was to elapse before even a glimpse is given of the London churches-and this only in general terms. In 1174, William Fitzstephen in his description of London wrote that “It is happy in the profession of the Christian religion”. As regards divine worship Fitzstephen speaks of one hundred and thirty-six parochial churches in the City and suburbs. -

Geology in St Paul's Churchyard and Paternoster Square Ruth Siddall
Urban Geology in London No. 12 Geology in St Paul’s Churchyard and Paternoster Square Ruth Siddall Looking From Newgate Street across Paternoster Square to the Temple Bar and St Paul’s Cathedral. This walk starts at St Paul’s Underground station, and takes in a circuit around the Cathedral via Paternoster Square and St Paul’s Churchyard and back to the tube station via the west end of Cheapside. This area has seen a large amount of redevelopment since Eric Robinson wrote his guides to street geology in this part of the city of London (Robinson, 1984 & 1997; Robinson & Bishop, 1980), including the relocation of two of the City’s monuments into the vicinity. Culturally and archaeologically this is one of the oldest, continuously occupied parts of the City of London, particularly as a religious centre. It was part of the Roman city of Londinium, with the Lud Gate in place in the earliest 3rd Century AD. This Roman gate house survived until 1760 when it was demolished. The first St Paul’s Cathedral was constructed in 604 AD by the Bishop of London, Mellitus. This was replaced (with probable intervening buildings) in 1087 with a new Romanesque cathedral built by Bishop Maurice. In the 13th Century a crypt (still in tact under the current cathedral) and a choir were added, and a cloister and chapter house were added in the 14th Century. In the mid 17th Century, the architect Inigo Jones was surveyor of the fabric and added classical details to the Cathedral. He was succeeded by Sir Christopher Wren who proposed major refurbishments due to have taken place in 1666. -

Together, they have launched a nationwide ‘Carbon Fast’, a forty-day journey through Lent, towards a lighter carbon footprint, with a simple energy saving action per day. Participants have been asked to begin the Carbon Fast by removing one light bulb from a prominent place in the home and live without it for 40 days, as a constant visual reminder during Lent of the need to cut energy. On the final day of the Fast, people are encouraged to replace the missing bulb with an energy-saving bulb. Over its lifetime that one bulb will save 60kg of carbon dioxide per year and up to £60. Tearfund and the Bishops have launched the fast because of the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions, and to protect poor communities around the world who are already suffering from the ravages of climate change. Bishop Richard said: “We all have a pivotal role to play in tackling the stark reality of climate change. A whole host of scientific studies have made clear that it is no longer possible to find excuses for doing nothing. Nor it is not enough to point the finger of blame at others and to demand that somebody should act for us. -

Essays on the Spatial Distribution of Economic Activities Yi Jie Gwee Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Yi Jie Gwee All Rights Reserved Abstract Essays on the Spatial Distribution of Economic Activities Yi Jie Gwee This dissertation consists of three chapters that examine the spatial distribution of economic activities. The first chapter, co-authored with Jacob Field and Di Song Tan, examines how disasters as well as individuals’ expectations of what others will do affect the development of cities. The development of cities often involves the rejuvenation or replacement of existing structures. However, history, in the form of the sunk cost of existing durable structures, often serves as an impediment to urban development. In theory, by reducing the opportunity cost of waiting to rebuild to zero, disasters can eliminate these frictions and bring about higher quality structures. In addition, the simultaneous rebuilding after a disaster would allow property owners to experience stronger cross- building spillovers which would encourage further upgrades of nearby buildings. Nevertheless, these are not sufficient to guarantee higher quality buildings. This is because individuals’ investment decisions also depend on their expectations of what others will do. Therefore, in this chapter, we examine both of these issues using the 1666 Great Fire of London as a natural experiment. First, using a difference-in-differences (DiD) strategy, we show evidence that the Fire was able to free parishes within London from the constraints of their existing durable structures and move them to a new equilibrium involving higher quality structures. -
