Historia
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 Aldgate, Lime Street and Bishopsgate wards, west by Bridge Ward, south by Billingsgate and Tower Wards and east by Aldgate Ward. The ward contained seven City parish churches: All Hallows Lombard Street, St Edmund the King and Martyr, St Dionis Backchurch, St Mary Woolnoth, St Gabriel Fenchurch, All Hallows Staining and St Nicholas Acons.
