SUMMARY:Clerkenwell's Mediaeval Monasteries
DESCRIPTION:In 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. Pre-book only\, please\, here.

SUMMARY:Clerkenwell Crime and Punishment
DESCRIPTION:Turbulent centuries of monasteries\, vengeance\, courthouses\, prisons\, murder\, social reformers\, a bomb plot and more…. \n\n\n\nClerkenwell lies just outside the old City\, originally the location of the monastic houses from the late 1100s. When Henry VIII siezed these in the 1500s\, some occupants met grim fates. Over the following centuries\, the population increased greatly as London grew and people came looking for work\, and in turn the area became overcrowded\, crime-ridden and squalid. As it lay outside the City’s direct jurisdiction (part of Middlesex)\, the area attracted radicals\, rebels and criminals. The local system of magistrates\, judges and parishes in turn built prisons\, courthouses and workhouses. \n\n\n\nThis walk explores the nature of crime and the various punishments meted out over the centuries in this fascinating area. \n\n\n\nPre-book only via Eventbrite here for Saturday May 28th\, or here for an extra date on Wednesday June 8th at 2.00 pm.
