Geschiedenis
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, lying north and south of Cornhill, one of the principal streets of the City. The ward contained two City parish churches: St Peter Cornhill and St Michael Cornhill.
