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.

One of the twenty-six wards of the City of London, fronting the River Thames, running west from Tower Ward to London Bridge. The ward with its quays on the water front was home to a large fish market. In addition, the ward contained five City parish churches: St Mary At Hill, St Margaret Pattens, St Andrew Hubbard, St George Botolph Lane and St Botolph.

Deposited in the Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section, which merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
