#PaternosterSquare is so named because it was here, in medieval times, the #Paternoster or Lord’s Prayer was recited by #StPaulsCathedral clergy as they processed the precincts. #AveMariaLane & #AmenCorner are similarly named. Originally at the centre of London’s publishing industry the square became the site of #NewgateMeatMarket until the market moved to #Smithfield in 1889.
