St Martin's Le Grand
St. Martin's Le Grand was a former parish and liberty within the City of London, and is the name of a one-way street in that location north of Newgate Street and Cheapside and south of Aldersgate Street.
==Collegiate church==
To the east of the road once stood the collegiate church and monastic precinct of St. Martin's, of ancient origin. The precinct was within the City, but was not subject to its jurisdiction, constituting a liberty with the privilege of sanctuary.〔Ben Weinreb and Christopher Hibbert (1983) ''The London Encyclopedia'': 735〕
According to a somewhat dubious tradition the church dated back to the 7th or 8th century and was founded by King Wihtred of Kent.〔Walter Besant (1906) ''Medieval London, Vol II'': 234〕〔( ''History of London'' (1878) by Walter Thornbury )〕 It was, more certainly, rebuilt or founded about 1056 by two brothers called Ingelric and Girard, during the reign of Edward the Confessor. This foundation was confirmed by a charter of William the Conqueror, dating to 1068.〔 The church was responsible for the sounding of the curfew bell in the evenings, which announced the closing of the City's gates. It was dissolved by King Henry VIII and demolished in 1548. However, it retained certain rights of sanctuary until 1697 and, as such, was a notorious haven for malefactors. One of those who sought sanctuary here was Miles Forrest, one of the reputed murderers of the Princes in the Tower.〔〔Dictionary of City of London Street Names ISBN 0-7153-4880-9〕
