Big cracks have appeared in the erypts, caused by the heavy traffic out- side. The tower is in bad repair, too. ‘The records of the church have been lost owing to a disastrous transaction in 1776. In that year the parish pa- pers and documents were sold in a lump to a man at the rate of 3 half pence a pound, the purchaser having to cart them away. It is certain, however, that the church was well established in 1122. The original St. George the Martyr Church was probably built be- fore the Norman conquest. “It is interesting that one of the patrons of St. George’s was the Queen of Henry VII, Elizabeth of York, who contributed the sum of 5 shillings in 1502, and there is a record of King’s offerings in 1509, 1510, 511 of 13 shill- ings and 4 pence each time,” records te. “It was at St. George the Martyr that the Bishop of London, all the clergy and 500 choristers in surplices met Richard II when he remitted the 100.- 000 pounds that he had sought to im- pese on the city of London. “The notorious Bishop Bonner, the 1569.
