Biographical 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.
In 1394 the Ward of Farringdon was divided into Farringdon Within and Farringdon Without (without [outside] the London wall) because it was too hard to manage as one unit.
Many London wards have social clubs for residents.
