Question of the week: Can you suggest somewhere to visit with a Royal connection? "Somewhere with a Royal connection -
take a tour around Smithfield - the location for show trials and executions by Queens Mary and Elizabeth in the C16th
Every Friday at 2 o’clock, a trained City of London guide conducts a tour that encompasses the Church of St Bartholomew the Less, the hospital Square, North Wing – including the Great Hall and Hogarth’s famous biblical paintings – the Church of St Bartholomew the Great and Cloth Fair in Smithfield. The hospital, churches and locality are all interwoven and have shaped each other’s changes and growth. It is well worth taking the time to join one of the Friday tours which take place every Friday at 2pm, starting at the Henry VIIIth Gate in West Smithfield. They cost £5 (£4 concessions)."- Ric
