Note 323 — XVIII. PEMBROKE COLLEGE.

Reading edition

The slaughter-houses were replaced by a brew-house, to the use of which the old well beneath the wall was in 1672 diverted. Lumbard was a Jew who lived here. It is odd that the only shop in this lane still exhibits the arms of Lombardy, and perhaps carries on the business of this mediæval Jew: the Jewry was elsewhere.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
