GB 0074 CLC/200 1426-1514 Collection 2 production units. Holy Trinity, Aldgate , priory of the Canons of Augustine

Holy Trinity, Aldgate, was a priory constructed by the Canons of Augustine in the 12th century. The Prior was an ex-officio Alderman of Portsoken Ward in the Corporation of London. The church of Saint Katharine Cree was built in the grounds of the Priory for the use of the parish. The Priory was the first in London to be dissolved, closed by 1532 and given to the King. There were few protests at the closure as the Prior was unpopular and heavily in debt. The land was given to Lord Audley who offered the church of St Katharine Cree to the parish. They refused the gift and the church was pulled down.
