The aim of the project is to study, principally from the records of property holding, the history of the Walbrook area of the city of London up to the Great Fire of 1666. Sources exist for compiling full histories of properties in the area from the mid thirteenth century onwards, and for mapping the changing pattern of their layout. There is also a good deal of twelfth-century material and the descent of one site in the area can be traced from the time of William the Conqueror onwards. The Walbrook study area comprises the parishes of St Benet Sherehog, St Mary Woolchurch, St Mildred Poultry and St Stephen Walbrook. This report details the material covered to end of 1984 and summary of findings, including brief notes on major buildings in the area: Grocers' Hall, Poultry Compter, Scalding House, Earl of Gloucester's Wardrobe, Stocks Market and Servat's Tower.
