Haydon Square


Minories. (E1) With Haydon Street, named from Alderman Haydon, the ground-landlord. Close by were found, in 1852, sculptured grave-stones and urns, and in 1853 a sarcophagus-all of Roman work. In this square lived Sir Isaac Newton when Master of the Mint; his house was taken down about 1852. (Reference: Timbs's Curiosities of London, p. 749)
