About the memorial: A niche between 2 walls of containing a Calvary above a stone plaque with inscription & names. Memorial at side of entranceway to the church. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ City of London West Walk: The Gateway on which this memorial sits was built in 1595 but restored in 1932 after having been hit by a Zeppelin bomb in 1916. The path beyond leads to the Priory Church built for to the monastery founded in 1123. Following Henry Eight’s dissolution of monasteries in 1539 the church was diminished in size but is still a vast eerie haunting of a building used by many films because of its forbidding atmosphere. The church holds several war memorials including that to the City of London Yeomanry, Rough Riders, (WWI) and the Royal Army Medical Corps (Boer War) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Route:
