Holy Trinity Priory - EC3

Inscription

Site of the Priory of the Holy Trinity, founded 1108.
The Corporation of the City of London

Site: Holy Trinity Priory - EC3 (2 memorials)

EC3, Mitre Square, St James's Passage

This square occupies that space that was used by the cloisters of the priory. The south corner of the square is where in 1888 the body of Catherine Eddowes was found, one of Jack the Ripper's victims.

This area has been redeveloped since we visited in 2012 (our photo shows it looking very drab). At that time the Holy Trinity plaque was on the (blue) north-east side of the square. We'll keep those old photos as a record of how London once was and how it's changing.
