I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience. — James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man In the early 1340s, in Vintry Ward, London— the time and place of Chaucer’s birth— a book went missing. It wasn’t a very important book. Known as a ‘portifory,’ or breviary, it was a small volume containing a variety of excerpted religious texts, such as psalms and prayers, designed to be carried about easily (as the name demonstrates, it was portable).1 It was worth about 20 shillings, the price of two cows, or almost three months’ pay for a carpenter, or half of the ransom of an archer captured by the French.2 The very presence of this book in the home of a mer- chant opens up a window for us on life in the privileged homes of the richer London wards at this time: their inhabitants valued books, ob- jects of beauty, learning, and devotion, and some recognized that books could be utilized as commodities. The urban mercantile class was flour- ishing, supported and enabled by the development of bureaucracy and of the clerkly classes in the previous century.3 While literacy was high in London, books were also appreciated as things in themselves: it was 1 Sharpe, Calendar of Letter- Books of the City of London: Letter- Book F, fol.

  • Two Studies on Roman London. Part B: Population Decline and Ritual Landscapes in Antonine London
    Two Studies on Roman London. Part B: population decline and ritual landscapes in Antonine London In this paper I turn my attention to the changes that took place in London in the mid to late second century. Until recently the prevailing orthodoxy amongst students of Roman London was that the settlement suffered a major population decline in this period. Recent excavations have shown that not all properties were blighted by abandonment or neglect, and this has encouraged some to suggest that the evidence for decline may have been exaggerated.1 Here I wish to restate the case for a significant decline in housing density in the period circa AD 160, but also draw attention to evidence for this being a period of increased investment in the architecture of religion and ceremony. New discoveries of temple complexes have considerably improved our ability to describe London’s evolving ritual landscape. This evidence allows for the speculative reconstruction of the main processional routes through the city. It also shows that the main investment in ceremonial architecture took place at the very time that London’s population was entering a period of rapid decline. We are therefore faced with two puzzling developments: why were parts of London emptied of houses in the middle second century, and why was this contraction accompanied by increased spending on religious architecture? This apparent contradiction merits detailed consideration. The causes of the changes of this period have been much debated, with most emphasis given to the economic and political factors that reduced London’s importance in late antiquity. These arguments remain valid, but here I wish to return to the suggestion that the Antonine plague, also known as the plague of Galen, may have been instrumental in setting London on its new trajectory.2 The possible demographic and economic consequences of this plague have been much debated in the pages of this journal, with a conservative view of its impact generally prevailing.

  • Appendix 3 Statutory Objections and Response to Experimental Traffic Order (Order 1) (The Main Restriction)
    Appendix 3 Statutory Objections and Response to Experimental traffic Order (Order 1) (the main restriction) Date: 13 September 2017 Name: Address: ID2 by email Comments: I am writing this about the City of London’s embarrassing management of the roads in the square mile. Close Bank Junction to all but buses and bikes, claiming it’s about "safety" is laughable. Then close Bishopsgate?! This has caused gridlock in the surrounding areas, and as a knock on effect I dread to think what the toxin levels we are all breathing are at the moment. I appreciate works have to be done but do you not see the misery you are causing to the general public? Do your city planners not realise what they are doing to the city? It’s making London unworkable! It’s embarrassing. RESPONSE TO OBJECTION POINTS: There is careful consideration of the planned network restrictions within the City with close coordination with Transport for London to accommodate traffic signal timing changes to optimise traffic flows on alternative routes. Closures will cause delays, but these are not necessarily going to be lessened by re-opening Bank due to the way the traffic signal phasing, away from Bank, operates. This is taken into consideration when reviewing planned closures, and was reviewed as part of the plans for the Bisphosphate closure. The experiment at Bank is proving, so far, to have reduced casualties at this location (compared to the previous five- year average) and had a positive effect in the surrounding area in terms of casualty reduction. The monitoring work on NO2 has to date not shown a specific detrimental impact and is under continuous review.

    September 2020 Cordwainer A report from your Ward team: Working with you through 2020’s challenges and looking to the recovery Your Ward team, Alderman Sir Roger Gifford and Common Councillors Sir Michael Snyder, Alex Barr and Tracey Graham were acutely aware at the start of the COVID-19 crisis earlier this year that their multi-faceted civic role would have to adapt. The team’s focus therefore moved immediately to one thing, and one thing alone: that of supporting all the Cordwainer community (which is mostly businesses, but also includes a small residential population and rough sleepers) through the pandemic. Most of the work was in managing the many inbound enquiries on business rates or the package of government grants for small businesses, particularly for from current rising City footfall levels, and the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors. tube/train passenger volumes. Despite the With government support evolving headlines around the likely continuation through the crisis your team became of working from home, and September’s a central conduit for the distribution and new restrictions on gatherings, the team interpretation of that rapidly changing have been gladdened to see at first hand information.

  • London Mercers
    -324- MERCERS IN MEDIEVAL LONDON A FAMILY OF MERCERS IN MEDIEVAL LONDON by Shirley Garton Straney1 ABSTRACT A fourteenth century family coordinating elements of English life, the academy, the church, the crown, land, commerce and family connections to become significant participants in London life. Foundations (2005) 1 (5): 324-337 © Copyright FMG A study of medieval London describes Hugh Garton as a Yorkshireman and one of the “three leading Wardrobe mercers” in that city, and also Sheriff in 1313 and Alderman of Coleman Street ward from 1319 until his death in 1327 (Williams, 1963, pp.134-135 & 140). Although the study refers to him as an immigrant to London, he was not the first of the name there. The first found in the Corporation of London’s books is William Garton, Citizen and Mercer of London who on Thursday, 19 March 1292/3 was granted a shop in Sopers Lane in the parish of St. Pancras by Hugh Chelmeford, Citizen of London and his wife Alice2. Thus began the family in Sopers Lane in Cordwainer ward in London, centre of the Mercers and Pepperers, and near to the Guildhall, where the Citizens met. In this period the Citizens, including William Garton, agreed to send twenty men with horses to accompany Sir Edward, the king’s son, to protect the coast of Kent and stay four weeks3. On 25 April 1311 William was one of the receivers of 1,000 marks to be sent to the king in Scotland4. They delivered this by messenger to the king, and purchased a horse from William Garton for the use of the messenger.
