43, Bartholomew Close, EC1A 7HN
Bartholomew Close was originally the close of the church of St Bartholomew the Great. This was a priory church founded by Rahere, a courtier of Henry I, in 1123. In 1133 he gave the locals the right to hold an annual fair, St Bartholomew's Fair, in return for tolls to the priory. It became the major fair for the sale of cloth in England - hence Cloth Fair.
No. 43 Bartholomew Close is a very stately six-storey building with a cobbled square in front, constructed in brown and red brick with white windows and cornice, probably as a mansion block in the early 20th century; it contains 39 flats, with six additional flats being built on the top floor.
