Liberty of Norton Folgate
Norton Folgate was a liberty within the metropolitan area of London, England, located between the Bishopsgate ward of the City of London to the south, the parish of St Leonard, Shoreditch to the north and the parish of Spitalfields to the east. It was grouped into the Whitechapel District in 1855 and, following boundary changes in the 1990s, its former area is now divided between the City of London and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
==Toponymy==
The name is recorded circa 1110 as ''Nortune'' and means 'north farmstead'. It is formed from the Old English 'north' and 'tūn', with the affix 'Folgate' perhaps derived from the manorial family name ''Foliot''. This is possibly referring to Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of London or Richard Foliot, a canon of St Paul's Cathedral. An alternative explanation found in ''The National Gazetteer'' from 1868 describes ''Folgate'' as derived "from the Saxon word ''Foldweg'', a highway, in allusion to the old Roman Road (Ermine Street) which passed through this place."〔(GenUK Middlesex, Norton Folgate )〕 It is remembered in the street of Norton Folgate and the 2009 album by the band Madness, called ''The Liberty of Norton Folgate''
