A history of Clerkenwell through the ages

The Sir John Oldcastle

Clerkenwell was an ancient parish from the mediaeval period onwards and a former monastic settlement. Clerkenwell took its name from the Clerks' Well in Farringdon Lane (clerken was the Middle English plural of clerk, a variant of clerc, meaning literate person or clergyman). It had numerous spa springs which were well known for their mineral properties.
