Histórico
The City of London was divided into wards for the purpose of government as early as Norman times. The wards had responsibility to keep the peace, supervise trade and oversee sanitation, and each ward has the right to elect an Alderman and Commoners to sit in the Court of Common Council of the Corporation of London.
One of the twenty-six wards of the City of London, Aldgate Ward is, with Tower Ward, the easternmost of the City of London's wards within the City walls. The ward is based around one of the four original gates in the City wall, built between 1108 and 1147. The ward contained four City parish churches: St Katherine Cree, St Katherine Coleman, St Andrew Undershaft and St James Duke's Place.
