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 between Walbrook Ward north, Candlewick and Bridge Within wards east and Vintry Ward west, and extending south to the River Thames. The ward contained two City parish churches: All Hallows the Great and All Hallows the Less.

The archives of the ward have been deposited with the Manuscripts Section at various dates. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Records of Dowgate Ward, Corporation of London. The records comprise wardmote minutes, rate assessments and accounts, and petitions. They were catalogued by members of Guildhall Library at various dates.

The records have been sorted into an order which reflects divisions between the different functions and operations of the organisation and its administration.

These records are available for public inspection, although records containing personal information may be subject to access restrictions.

Copyright to this collection rests with the City of London.
