Historique
Southwark was granted to the citizens of London by a charter of Edward III in 1327, following a petition from the citizens because felons and thieves escaped the City into Southwark where they could not be followed. A further charter issued by Edward VI in 1550 aimed to ensure that Southwark was completely absorbed into the City by making the citizens lords of the three manors there - the Guildable Manor, the King's Manor and the Great Liberty.
The Liberty of the Clink was an area of 70 acres in Southwark which was outside the jurisdiction of the City, belonging to the Bishop of Winchester. The Bishops had a great palace here, Winchester House. The building gradually deteriorated and little remains.
