Ludgate


Ludgate was the westernmost gate in London Wall. The name survives in Ludgate Hill, an eastward continuation of Fleet Street, and Ludgate Circus.
==Etymology==
Despite the claim by the Norman-Welsh Geoffry of Monmouth in his ''Historia Regum Britanniae'' that Ludgate was so-called having been built by the ancient British king called Lud—a manifestation of the god Nodens—the name is believed by later writers to be derived from "flood gate" or "Fleet gate", from "ludgeat", meaning "back gate" or "postern", or from the Old English term ''"hlid-geat"''〔''Charters of Abingdon Abbey, Volume 2'',Susan E. Kelly, Published for the British Academy by Oxford University Press, 2001, ISBN 0-19-726221-X, 9780197262214, pp.623-266〕〔''Geographical Etymology'', Christina Blackie, pp.88〕〔English Place-Name society, Volume 36, The University Press, 1962, pp.205〕〔Middle English Dictionary, University of Michigan Press, 1998, ISBN 0-472-01124-3 pp. 972〕〔''An encyclopaedia of London'', William Kent, Dent, 1951, pp.402〕 a common Old English compound meaning "postern" or "swing gate".〔〔〔〔〔〔http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Ludgate〕)
