Overview

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of London, Vol. 21: 29th November, 1906, to 27th June, 1907 From this it will be seen that the good friars were in a position to mortify the flesh, as a more unhealthy spot could hardly have been selected for them in all London. They must have been surrounded by horrible smells, for immediately over the City wall was the ditch, which probably was no better than an open sewer, ate and on the east side they had the flavours of Stinking Lane, St. Nicholas Flesh Shambles, and Newgate Market, in which places the beasts were slaughtered and the offal left to rot in the open. Now I purpose giving you a short account of these Friars Minors, or Franciscans as they were likewise called, which will be very brief as so little has been recorded of them.
