Dear Cragghines...
Thanks so much for the info about St. Dunstan in the West! Are you a
Camp too? If so...from what line? I found Essex previously and
wondered if St. D-W was near London. This is fascinating because my
father was a Camp and my mother was a Tudor, and obviously the Tudors
were definitely in England in the 1500's! My 10 year old is studying
Queen Elizabeth and her orders sending explorers to the "New World". I
guess it truly is a small world.
I had been told by an Englishman that St. D-W no longer existed. I'm
glad to know there are still physical remnants of its existence.
Thanks again...and write back soon.
Paulette Camp-Jones

AOL has eaten the original message, but this is for whomever (Paulette
Camp-
Jones, I believe) was asking about St. Dunstans in the West:
Cripplegate and St. Dunstans in the West are (were) both in London.
Cripplegate (demolished 1760 for a street-windening project, my London
Encyclopedia says) was one of the city gates in the Roman walls (at the
northern end of Wood St.).
St D in the W still stands on the north side of Fleet St. between
Chancery
Lane and Fetter Lane. (I've passed it many times on the way to a
cheesy
Pakistani restaurant in the East End without knowing it may hold family
connections. I'll pay more attention next time.)
Reference to being "born" there may mean that's where birth/baptism was
recorded.
