The Compilers trust that the following particulars concerning this, the oldest Church now remaining in London, will prove acceptable to residents and others who are unacquainted with the many points of interest attaching to the ancient structure.
A Sketch of St. Bartholomew Fair, Bartholomew’s Hospital, and also of Canonbury Tower, all of which are intimately associated with the Priory, have likewise been added.
The Illustrations are from original sketches made on purpose for this work, which it is hoped may thereby be rendered more attractive.
The Compilers feel much indebted to the several Authors whose works have been consulted in the preparation of this Volume.
