Historique
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, constituting the area to the north of the River Thames (Bridge Without Ward was in Southwark to the south of the River), between Billingsgate Ward in the east and Dowgate Ward in the west. The ward was associated with the area around London Bridge from a very early period.
