Sir Paul Pindar's Lodge in Half Moon Alley: A Glimpse into London's Medieval Past This exquisite copperplate engraving, created by John Thomas Smith after original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, offers a captivating view of Sir Paul Pindar's Lodge in Half Moon Alley. Dating back to the 12th century, this historic structure once served as the keeper's lodge to the priory belonging to St. Bartholomew's Hospital in Smithfield. The facade of the lodge is adorned with intricate plasterwork designs, a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic flair of the time. The principal gate, with its ornate arch, stands open, inviting us to step back in time and explore the cobblestone alleyway. The lodge is situated near the Priory of St. Bartholomew the Great, a 12th-century Augustinian monastery that once stood in the heart of London. The church, with its distinctive arch, can be seen in the background, adding to the rich historical context of the image. Sir Paul Pindar, a prominent merchant, likely resided in this lodge during his tenure as the keeper of the priory. The engraving provides a precious record of London's architectural and historical heritage, offering us a glimpse into the city's past. This engraving, published by J. Sewell, R. Folder, and J. Simco in London in 1791, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical prints or architectural records. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our historical and cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
