SHOREDITCH

Shoreditch is situated about a mile north of Whitechapel. The original settlement was founded at the junction of two Roman Roads, Kingsland Road and Old Street. St. Leonard's church was founded about the 12th century, the parish also including Hoxton and Haggerston. The land in the parish was owned by Holywell Priory, the hospital of St. Mary Spital, the Canons of St. Paul and the Bishop of London.

In 1965 Shoreditch was amalgamated into the London Borough of Hackney
