804K views · 7.8K reactions | Roman and medieval ruins in the City of London! As well as the ruins of St Alphage church you’ll also find a fascinating section of the old city wall. It is the only surviving stretch with medieval, brick crenellations. These were added in 1477 by King Edward IV during the Wars of the Roses. The diamond pattern on the bricks is known as ‘diapering’. This probably comes from the ancient Greek ‘diaspros’ meaning ‘across white’ and referred initially just to the geometric pattern. It later became associated with the same pattern in the weave of linen or cotton. This was the material used to create ‘diapers’ for babies. For more on this amazing pocket of history, there’s a link in my bio for the full blog post. . . . . #london #londonhistory #livinglondonhistory #romanhistory #medievalhistory #hiddenlondon #secretlondon | Living London History
