Elephant and Castle history


Medieval and early modern

In medieval period it was part of rural Surrey, in the manor of Walworth . The income from its rents and tithes supplied the monks at Christ Church Canterbury with their clothing . The parish was called St Mary, Newington, which church occupied the southwest side of today’s southern roundabout .

The neighbourhood became urbanised and somewhat commercial after the building of Westminster Bridge in 1751 and the improvements to London Bridge in the same period . These required ‘by-pass’ roads across the south side approaches to each other and also to the main routes to the south and southeast coasts .
