Historia
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, adjoining Bridge Ward south and east, Langborn Ward north, Walbrook Ward west and Dowgate Ward west and south. The ward contained five City parish churches: St Clement Eastcheap, St Lawrence Pountney, St Martin Orgar, St Michael Crooked Lane and St Mary Abchurch.
