A short history of E1
The gate at Bishopsgate dates from Roman times and marked the start of Ermine Street. Its name is traditionally linked to Earconwald, a 7th century Bishop of London. Aldgate is recorded in 1052 as Æst geat and had become Alegate by 1108, though the meaning of the name remains uncertain. In 1108 Matilda, wife of Henry I, founded Holy Trinity Priory just inside the gate. Jews settled to the north of it from 1181 until their expulsion in 1290. Bethlem Royal Hospital stood in Bishopsgate Without from 1247 to 1633. Around 1597 the merchant Sir Paul Pindar built a house there. Huguenot weavers settled in the 1600s. Bishopsgate was demolished in 1760. Remains of the Roman wall and the Aldgate gate survive and the area has 348 listed buildings including seven at Grade I.
