History
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.
Cornhill Ward lies north and south of Cornhill, one of the principal streets of the City. Lime Street Ward lies between Aldgate and Cornhill wards.
