Norton-Falgate, the street so called is the north continuation of Bishopsgate-street Without, and extends to Shoreditch. It is also the name of a small liberty or manor, which belonged to the cathedral of St. Paul as early as the Conquest. This district being extra-parochial, the inhabitants support their own poor, and bury and marry where they please, but they mostly use a chapel, built by Sir George Wheeler, a Prebendary of Durham, for his tenants in Spitalfields. In this liberty there are also a small workhouse, a girl's school, and a free school for boys.
