BIBLICAL TIES TO LONDON

https://thelondonexplorer.wordpress.com/2011/02/19/six-degrees-of-london-seperation/

London has many biblical links – from both Old and New Testaments – reflected in the names of geographic areas, places of worship and many local institutions. Within six degrees of separation this posting will travel from the prophetess Deborah to the River Jordan drawing its themes solely from the Old Testament (the Hebrew Bible). The New Testament provides very little challenge if we add up repetitions of the names Jesus and Mary and the Saints.

Q

Deborah

The Israelite Judge Deborah (12th century BC) was represented as the new Queen Elizabeth during her coronation pageant on 14th January 1559. Deborah herself was from the tribe of Ephraim, a real Judge (in the biblical context) and an advocate of Israelite independence within Canaan.

Jacob’s Island

If you took a boat from Greenwich Palace, and steered it towards central London, just before Tower Bridge on the Surrey side of the River Thames you come to Bermondsey. It’s here, on a stretch of river known as the Upper Pool that the River Neckinger once flowed freely into the Thames.At the mouth of the (now culverted) Neckinger stood St Saviours Dock, used in pre-Dissolution times by the monks of Bermondsey Abbey. By the early nineteenth century the area to it’s immediate east was known as Jacob’s Island.

Noah’s Ark

From the Neckinger, on the south bank of the Thames, to the City and the Walbrook on the north bank would have been no distance at all up until the late 1500’s. By this time the Walbrook had become no more than an unnavigable, polluted ditch and this small river, which originally flowed through Roman Londinium, had more or less ceased to exist.

The Walbrook’s source lay no higher than Shoreditch, before flowing through a hole in London Wall at Moorfields (the wall brook). It found the Thames between today’s Southwark and London Bridge.

Temple.

Half a mile to the west of Walbrook lies Temple. Along Temple’s southern perimeter runs Victoria Embankment.

Until this mid-19th century construct, Temple ran down to the bank of the Thames from its northern boundary at Fleet Street.

The name Temple derives from the lands’ original owners, a French crusade era holy order of knights called ‘Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and of The Temple of Solomon’ or more commonly ‘Knights of the Temple of Solomon of Jerusalem’; conveniently shortened to Knights Templar.

Jerusalem Tavern

One street further to the east lies Britton Street, and it is in Britton Street that we find the Jerusalem Tavern. There had been Jerusalem Taverns in Clerkenwell for centuries, due to the presence and influence of the nearby Priory of St John (of Jerusalem

River Jordan

sixth and final ‘degree’ leads us to where the Fleet now flows under Kings Cross, and meets the eastern end of the Euston Road. As the Euston Road heads west past St Pancras Station it forms the southern boundary of Somers Town

The communities of Somers Town acknowledging the wide, roaring demarcation separating them from the more established areas to the south called Euston Road ‘the River Jordan’.

As Somers Town’s inhabitants would have known, the River Jordan of the Hebrew Bible was a boundary crossed by Jacob from Canaan to Haran, a border between Israelite tribes and a crossing for the Israelite armies of Gideon and King David
