Cloth Court, London
Cloth Court is an ancient narrow alley that slips around the backs of buildings in Smithfield, and for many years, Sir John Betjeman, Poet Laureate had a flat here.
The area was once home to an Augustinian priory which was established during the reign of King Henry I (1100 - 1135). After the dissolution of the monasteries during the reign of King Henry VIII, the land was sold off and developed into a cluster of narrow streets and back alleys, of which this is one.
