HATTON GARDEN, LONDON
A memorial to vibe many famous men and women who through the centuries ♦ have been associated with Hatton Garden (now largely occupied by diamond merchants) has been fixed to the oldest building in the street—a building of Sir Christopher Wren, once a charity school, and now the parochial school of St. Andrew’s. It was unveiled recently by the Mayor of Holborn. Historically this district is one of the most interesting in London. John of Gaunt lived in Ely House after Wat Tyler’s men had burned his palace in the Savoy ; Sir i Christopher Hatton, -faster of Games to Queen Elizabeth, occupied the Gate House; and Lady Elizabeth Hatton entertained James 1. at Hatton House. Captain Coram, of the Foundling Hospital, was a resident in the neighbourhood. So were Samuel Plimsoll, of ships’ load-line fame, and the French and Italian patriots, Mirabeau and Mazzini.
