St. Bartholomew’s, London

In the medieval period it had a reputation for curing ills and was often filled with the sick, especially on St. Bartholomew’s Day, 24 August.  The priory was severely damaged at the dissolution of the monasteries and mostly demolished in 1543.

A modern roundabout is now at the site of the medieval gate in the city wall.  The area was heavily damaged during WW II.  Aldersgate St. is the approximate location of the Moravian Church where in 1738 John Wesley  “Felt my heart strangely warmed” while listening to a reading of the Book of Romans.
