Mitre Square : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mitre Square Mitre Square is a small square in the City of London. It measures about by and is connected via three passages with Mitre Street to the SW, to Creechurch Place to the NW and, via St James's Passage (formerly Church Passage), to Duke's Place to the NE. ==History== The square occupies the site of the cloister of Holy Trinity Priory, Aldgate which was demolished under Henry VIII at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries.〔A.G. Robertson (1968) ''Tudor London'': 47-50〕 The south corner of the square was the site of the murder of Catherine Eddowes by "Jack the Ripper". Her mutilated body was found there at 1:45 in the morning on 30 September 1888. This was the westernmost of the Whitechapel Murders and the only one located within the City.〔Stewart Evans and Donald Rumbelow (2006) ''Jack the Ripper: Scotland Yard Investigates'': 114-40〕 Eddowes' murder on the site of the old monastery is ascribed to an ancient curse in a contemporary penny dreadful entitled ''The Curse Upon Mitre Square A.D. 1530-1888'' by J.F. Brewer.〔Donald Rumbelow (2004) ''The Complete Jack the Ripper'': 284-5〕
