Overview

Excerpt from A History of the Smithfield Gate of the Parish of St. Bartholomew the Great, E. C It is a beautiful arch, and dates from the early 13th century. It exhibits the mouldings and the dog tooth ornament of that period, together with the corbels from which the mouldings spring, but those on the south side are hidden by the shelves of a stationer's shop. It is probable that above the arch originally rose the south-west flanking tower of the west front of the church as the arch is over six feet in thickness, and must have been so built to support a considerable superstructure we shall see later on additional evidence of this.
