Summary edit
| Description |
English: Historic plaques high up on the wall of The Bank of England I had to use a lot of zoom to get these, but they tell an interesting story. Top left is an old parish boundary mark for St Christopher-le-Stocks which was situated to the west and just outside the Bank of England. After the Gordon Riots Gordon_Riots the understandably jumpy Governor of The Bank of England feared that criminals would be abl e to shin up the roof of St Christopher's and abseil down into the Bank, so it was demolished in 1781. At this spot was the boundary with St Bartholemew-by-the-Exchange, another tiny parish whose mark can be seen top right. When that church was deemed surplus to requirements (by 1841 it had a congregation of seven) it too was united to the nearby St Margaret, Lothbury- the bottom plaque. |
