SUMMARY:Walking Tour - Clerkenwell's Monastic Quarter
DESCRIPTION:Medieval to modern – the monasteries of Clerkenwell and their legacy today. \n\n\n\nIn medieval times Clerkenwell was an area of fields on the outskirts of the City of London\, dominated by monastic institutions. The monasteries were all closed in the 1530s when Henry VIII broke with the Church of Rome but their buildings remained. Some were demolished but others were repurposed and rebuilt over the years; many of them still play a philanthropic and caring role today. \n\n\n\nOn this walk we will learn about a hospital that has provided healthcare on the same site for almost 900 years; London’s oldest parish church; a monastery that became an aristocratic Tudor mansion then an almshouse and school and remains an almshouse today; a priory with links to Jerusalem which gave its name to St John Ambulance eight hundred years later; and a nunnery which inspired the design of one of Clerkenwell’s newest buildings. \n\n\n\nThe walk will finish at the Clerk’s Well which gave the area its name; the site where parish clerks used to perform mystery plays in medieval times. \n\n\n\nNote the walk does not include interior visits.  \n\n\n\nThe walk will last about 90 minutes and will start and finish near Farringdon Station. \n\n\n\n£9 – 12\, 90-minute rate for one of the regular rota walks offered by Islington Guided Walks\, also some concessions \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre book through Eventbrite here

SUMMARY:Walking the Hackney/Islington border from Dalston to the Regent's Canal
DESCRIPTION:‘Beating the Bounds’ to mark and confirm the borders between parishes is an ancient tradition\, where the border was literally paced out\, agreed and marked with stones each year. This is the first of a series of planned walks exploring the borders of today’s Hackney and Islington boroughs\, looking at how this has evolved over the centuries due to a mix of changing land ownership\, parish church catchments\, significance of early settlements and roads\, and natural features such as springs and ponds.  \n\n\n\nThis first walk between Islington and Hackney boroughs follows the lines of Balls Pond Road and Southgate Road\, with an amble through De Beauvoir Town too. There’s a wealth of interest on either side of the border\, including a leper hospital\, almshouses\, inns of pleasure and ill repute\, pretty 19C residential roads\, market gardens\, a livestock market\, vanished churches\, factories and a manor house.  \n\n\n\nThis walk lasts about 2 hours\, and starts and ends near De Beauvoir Square (5 minutes from Haggerston Overground). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre book through Eventbrite here
