Memorials of Old London, in this first volume, gathers essays by various authors on the history, antiquities, and landmarks of the city of London. Contributors explore the medieval and later monuments of the capital, including its churches, halls, streets, and institutions, tracing the rich layers of London’s past. The collection celebrates the historic fabric of the city, much of it rooted in the Middle Ages, before later change swept much of it away.
Part of a series devoted to England’s historic counties and cities, the volume combines antiquarian learning with affection for old London. Its essays illuminate the medieval origins of many of the city’s famous places and traditions. Readers interested in the history of London, medieval England, or urban antiquities will find much to enjoy. This free EPUB edition makes available the first volume of a loving record of old London and its memorials.
