Fragments of St. John's-Gate, Clerkenwell, [London], 1856. 'No.3 has formed part of the basement of the present gate, which was erected A.D. 1504 - this was turned up in the hay-yard situated a short distance from the structure which has so many literary and other associations. No.2 is still more venerable, and is part of the old gate raised by the Knight's Templars about A.D. 1133...The zigzag ornament and central flower are in parts very perfect and beautifully chiseled. The scallops still on the badges of the Crusaders have particular interest...This antiquity was built into a wall in Berkley-street...No.3 is also from Berkley-street - it is a Moulded Brick of large size...and is no doubt a portion of the mansion of Sir Maurice Berkley...No. 4 is a Mediaeval Corbal, of a cruciform device'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
