    London Quotes


    I looked on it [City of London] as the master wheel, by whose motion the successive rotations of all the lesser must follow.

    -- Lord Mordaunt to Charles II 1660

    London's PeopleLondon's Costermongers: 16 Of the Uneducated State of Costermongers
    Posted by Bill McCann on (659 Reads)
    In 1862, Henry Mayhew published his magnificent survey: London Labour and the London Poor.He now defines for us the differtent types of Street-Folk to be found in London. Of these, the costermongers are a special breed, or even distinct race, who seldom associate with the other groups. Of Irish extraction, fully one half of the Costermongers have been in the trade for many generations and refer to many of the other street-folk as the "illegitimates." In this article he indignantly calls it a "national disgrace" that they remain in a state of brutish ignorance.

    London's ChurchesThe Annals of St. Paul's: Chapter 3 part 4
    Posted by Bill McCann on (762 Reads)
    Wren's St Paul's Cathedral is one of the dominant images of tourist London. The religious history of the site, however, goes back to the very arrival of Christianity in England. Sitting atop one of the two hills of ancient London it has long gazed down on the doings of men and women. Few definitive histories of St. Paul's have been written but one of the most "delightful" is that penned by Dean H H Milman in the 1860s. Here we present his great work for the enjoyment of the modern age. Our next instalment deals with turbulent times at the birth of both our parliamentary and ecclesiastical systems. Bulls of excommunication seem to fly everywhere, a Bishop of London dies the day after his appointment and another refuses point blank to take the office and yet another spends six years in exile, only to return home to die.

    London's ChurchesThe Annals of St Paul's: Chapter Three Part 3
    Posted by Bill McCann on (905 Reads)
    Wren's St Paul's Cathedral is one of the dominant images of tourist London. The religious history of the site, however, goes back to the very arrival of Christianity in England. Sitting atop one of the two hills of ancient London it has long gazed down on the doings of men and women. Few definitive histories of St. Paul's have been written but one of the most "delightful" is that penned by Dean H H Milman in the 1860s. Here we present his great work for the enjoyment of the modern age. The next instalment relates the tribulations of doughty Bishop Fulk Basset. He was elected by the canons in defiance of the king (Henry III) and had to wait three years before he was finally consecrated. Within two years he was in conflict with the Pope, this time with the king's backing (money was involved). His next battle was with the Boniface, Archbishop of Canterbury. This handsome, proud prelate had been forced on Canterbury by the Pope and immediately set about extorting large sums of money from the Bishops, Chapters and Monasteries of England. When he appeared in all his pomp in London the door of St Paul's was shut against him! Bishop Fulk was next pitted against the Papal Legate and denounced by the king. He espoused the cause of Simon de Montfort and the Barons and allowed his name to appear on the provisions of the parliament of Oxford in 1258. He died of the plague in 1259.
