Roman pavement - St Matthews

Inscription

{Along the top and bottom of the frame:}
This is part of a Roman pavement found 18ft. below the floor of the church of St Matthew, Friday Street (demolished 1886).

Site: St Vedast-alias-Foster (3 memorials)

EC2, Foster Lane, church courtyard

This church dates from the 12th century. From the church's website: "It has been altered, enlarged and restored many times and probably rebuilt at least twice, the last time by Christopher Wren, after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Having been completely burnt out during the Blitz of World War II, the church was restored under the direction of its Rector, Canon Mortlock," More information there.
