Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London, Past and Present, Vol. 3: Its History, Associations, and Traditions Paddington, formerly a village at the west end of London, containing, in 1801, 357 houses; now a large and increasing parish, and part of the great metropolis, having in 1881 a population of 107,098. Pitt is to Addington As London is to Paddington. - Canning. King Edgar gave the manor of Paddington to Westminster Abbey; the grant was confirmed by Henry I., King Stephen, and Henry II. At the Dissolution it was made part of the revenues of the Bishopric of Westminster; and when that see was abolished soon after its establishment, Edward VI. gave it to Ridley, Bishop of London, and his successors. - Newcourt's Repertorium, vol. i. p. 703. Dodsley, writing in 1761, has nothing further to say of Paddington than that it is "a village in Middlesex situated on the north side of Hyde Park," and long after that artists used to come to it to sketch rural scenes and rustic figures. George Barrett, R.A. (d. 1784), one of the old school of English landscape painters, "resided in a most delightful spot, at the upper end of a field adjacent to old Paddington Canal." Paddington was then a rural village. There were a few old houses on each side of the Edgware Road, together with some ale-hooses of very picturesque appearance, being screened by high elms, with long troughs for watering the teams of the hay waggons on their way to and from market; each, too, had its large straddling signpost stretching across the road. Paddington Green was then a complete street; and the group of magnificent elms thereon, now fast going to decay, were studies for all the landscape painters in the metropolis. The diagonal path led to the church, which was a little Gothic building, overgrown with ivy, and as completely sequestered as any village church a hundred miles from London Angelo, p. 229. Hilts. Where is thy Master? Pup. Marry he is gone With the picture of despair to Paddington. Hilts. Prithee run after 'un, and tell 'un he shall Find out my Captain lodged at the Red Lion In Paddington; that's the inn. Ben Jonson, Tale of a Tub, Act ii. Sc. 1.

He was invited to notify his wishes to them through their secretary or remembrancer, Mr. Doctor Fletcher, whom they sent as their Special messenger.1 The king returned for answer, that although he had been already aware of the City's forwardness in joining with the nobility in proclaiming him rightful successor to the crown, he was pleased to learn from their trusty messenger that the citizens had advocated his cause not only from the conscious ness of its being a just one, but also because they were assured of his zeal for the preservation of religion.2 This was one Of James's mystifying remarks which he was accustomed to throw out in order to raise the hopes of the Catholics, who questioned his title to the crown, whilst affording no cause for alarm or discontent among the Protestants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London, Past and Present, Vol. 1 of 3: Its History, Associations, and Traditions As property, however, grew in value it was found that the enhanced value made it profitable to erect handsome buildings in place of poor houses, and the City was gradually rebuilt. In time the same process was carried out in the West End, and dwelling-houses were turned into offices, while the suburbs in consequence increased in extent, owing largely to the requirements of the shopkeeper, who left his house in town to the undisputed claims of business. But this rebuilding is not all that has to be considered. Institutions have been altered and charities reorganised to an extent that is only fully recognised by one who has worked on this subject. Every attempt has been made to note all these changes, and to bring the information up to the date of publication. Mr. Cunningham in his Preface expressed his thanks to the many gentlemen who had assisted him in the compilation of his work, and among these are such distinguished names as the Right Hon. John Wilson Croker; Mr. Samuel Rogers, the poet; Mr. Lockhart Earl Stanhope Mr. Forster; and Mr. T. Hudson Turner.

It stood upon the seventh pier from the Southwark side, just north of the drawbridge. In the middle of the-bridge stood the chapel of St. Thomas of Canterbury, in two storeys; and under its staircase was buried Peter of Colechurch when, after having held the wardenship of the bridge which he had built, the time came for him to die.
