St Katherine's Rents

Categories: Property

Bestowed in 1370 upon the Royal Hospital at St Katharine's by the Tower. We can find no information about these properties, housing we assume, besides these two maps: 1677 (shown here) and 1792-9.

By 1864 the housing was demolished and the site occupied by a large warehouse.
