Cripplegate
City. (EC1) Cripplegate dates from 1010, in which year the body of King Edmund the Martyr was carried into London through this entrance. (Reference: Strype's Stow, Bk. 1, p. 17) The Church of St. Giles's, Cripplegate, is most generally visited as being the burial place of Milton; but here also lie buried Sir Martin Frobisher and Foxe of The Book of Martyrs fame; and here, in 1620, Oliver Cromwell married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir James Bourchier. |
