Holywell Row and Lane
Shoreditch. (EC2) Named from a sacred or holy well near which a priory was built. Before 1127 the well and part of a field had been given to some religious women and the priory was built to the honour of Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. John Baptist, for nuns of the Benedictine Order. (Shoreditch, Besant, p. 8) |
