Biographical history
Vintry Ward Club was established in 1877 and in 1957 became Vintry and Dowgate Wards Club.
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.
Vintry Ward lies to the west of the Walbrook on the bank of the River Thames and extends north to Cordwainer Ward and is bounded on the east by Dowgate Ward and on the west by Queenhithe Ward. The ward contained four City parish churches: St Martin Vintry, St James Garlickhithe, St Michael Paternoster Royal and St Thomas the Apostle.
Dowgate Ward lies between Walbrook Ward north, Candlewick and Bridge Within wards east and Vintry Ward west, and extends south to the River Thames. The ward contained two City parish churches: All Hallows the Great and All Hallows the Less.
