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, bounded on the north by Farringdon Without and Aldersgate Without wards, on the east by Aldersgate Ward Within, Cripplegate Ward and Bread Street Ward, south by Castle Baynard Ward and the Thames, and west by Farringdon Ward Without. The ward contained six City parish churches: St Ewin, St Nicholas Shambles, St Ann Blackfriars, St Martin Ludgate, St Augustine Watling Street and St Matthew Friday Street.

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

Records of the Farringdon Within Ward, Corporation of London. The records comprise wardmote minutes and accounts, tax and rate assessments, inhabitants lists and details of ward officers. They were catalogued by members of Guildhall Library staff 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.
