Clerk's Well was the setting of many plays performed by the Parish Clerk's of London, thought to be established in 1174. For many years, the exact location wasn't known due to it being situated within the basement of a building in Ray Street - now known as Farringdon Street. It was rediscovered in 1924 during building works along Farringdon Lane. After a full renovation Clerk's Well now has a full history of the well and it's place within medieval times for all to read and learn from.
