Old Houses in Butcher Row, London: A Glimpse into History This copperplate engraving, created by John Thomas Smith in 1798, offers a rare glimpse into the historical charm of Butcher Row in London. The image, based on original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, invites us to step back in time and explore the architectural beauty and rich history of this once bustling street. Located in the heart of the city, Butcher Row was renowned for its old houses, which were home to various tradespeople and dignitaries. The right-hand corner house on St. Clements Lane, depicted in this engraving, holds a fascinating historical connection. Reputedly, it was used by the leaders of the Gunpowder Plot, a notorious conspiracy to assassinate King James I and his government in 1605. The houses in this woodcut print exude an air of antiquity, with their timber-framed structures, steeply pitched roofs, and ornate chimneys. The street scene is further enlivened by the presence of the Wood Street Compter, a prison, and the Sheriffs' and Mayoralty's residences. Sir Samuel Strange, a prominent figure in London's legal circles during the late 17th century, is believed to have resided in one of these houses. The image not only showcases the architectural grandeur of the era but also offers a glimpse into the social fabric of the time. This exquisite copperplate engraving, produced by John Thomas Smith, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of London's history and the importance of preserving its architectural heritage for future generations.
