Description:Excerpt from Once a Week, Vol. 1: An Illustrated Miscellany of Literature, Popular Science, and Art; Jan.-June, 1866 It is strange to think about nobility ever having lodged, clothed, and entertained itself down here; but nobility did hold great state east of the Monument once upon a time. It lived, it intrigued; it married in these old, old churches; the best in the land crowded the aisles of those now deserted buildings. Dukes and lords stood sponsors for the children of their friends and relations - kings and queens lived Due East in the Tower plots were hatched in these dingy lanes - the oldest blood in England has dyed the ground in sight of these houses in Trinity Square. This is the part of London to which is attached the most historical interest, round which linger the memories of the most pathetic stories youth, beauty, rank, valour, wit, royalty, treason, su 'ering, cruelty, romance, - all have the scene of their story here. The streets may be narrow, the air may be foul, the old buildings may be gone, the former inhabitants may be mouldedng into dust, but what matters that? This is the stage where the actors played out their tragic or pathetic, or tyrannical, or loving parts; here the young gallants milled in their gay attire among the citizens - here the pa geunta swept by - here were priories - here lived the dignitaries of the Church - here the wealthy citizens had their fine houses - here kings pawned their jewels - here citizens in sulted their kings. In the Tower, hard by, a Princess of Wales was kissed by the rabble in the Tower Lord Lovat, the day but two before his execution, made that sharp answer to the Major of the Tower, who came to ask himt he did, - Sir, Iam doing very well, for I am fitting myself for a place where hardly any majors go, and very few lieutenant-generals. In the Tower were enacted such horrors as seem well-nigh incredible to modern ideas. In these streets Elizabeth was exhorted by Noailles not to complain of the weight of the crown she was carrying for her sister.
