The Peasants\u2019 Rebellion climaxed here. On 23 August 1305 William Wallace (\u2018Braveheart\u2019) was hanged, drawn and quartered here. Religious martyrs were burnt here and forgers boiled in oil. There are two monasteries which give a great insight into the Reformation, with connections to Thomas More. St Bartholemews hosted Britains&#8217;s greatest fair, and provided the oldest hospital in the United Kingdom \u2013 the second oldest in Europe. There are more pre-Great Fire buildings than anywhere else in London. There are also the trace of World War 1 bombing and Zeppelin raids. There are street names that sing: Cow Cross Street, Giltspur Street, etc. There are people names that resonate: Ben Franklin, John Milton, Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, Rahere, to name but a few.\u00a0 Oh,\u00a0 and did we mention this is where Holmes met Watson and where Benedict Cumberbatch fell off the roof.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walks.com\/our-walks\/smithfield-pub-tour\/\">London Walks<\/a> walk given by Kevin Flude<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Smithfield Pub Tour takes place at 7.15 pm on Saturday, November 30.
