Happy feast day to all @StBartholomews celebrating their feast day today! This window from St Bart the Less shows the Apostle with Rahere who founded the Augustinian priory in Smithfield 900 years ago in 1123. https://t.co/kDNKUIBuEK

Today's the anniversary of William "Braveheart" Wallace's execution in Smithfield. More than 700 years after his death, Wallace still receives flowers and other tributes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 https://t.co/XyDg8XXzYQ

Here's an idea. How about turning Smithfield Market into a world-class adventure playground. Bear with me... 1/7

The foundation stone of St Bartholomew's Priory & Hospital was laid 900 yrs ago this week, on 25 March 1123. Happy 900th to two of the @CityofLondon's most remarkable icons!
