St. Bride's Church

This 1520 map shows the location of St. Bride's Church on the North Bank of the Thames River, just off the edge of the Fleet River. The church is circled in red. The church was a gathering place not only for the parish members to worship, but also for political and government gatherings, such as the Curia Regis, the main court of the realm.
