Excerpt from The Aldermen of Cripplegate Ward From 1276 to 1900: Together With Some Account of the Office of Alderman, Alderman's Deputy, and Common Councilman of the City of London It is not pretended that all possible sources of information respecting the Aldermen of Cripplegate have been investigated all that can be said is, that a fairly diligent search has failed to procure further material information than is here given. In all chronological references, the Gregorian or New Style (reckoning the year to commence on the Ist January, instead of the 25th March) has been adopted throughout. Individual Aldermen are mentioned by the title which they held at the date of their election or of the circumstance under narration - as in the case of the present Alderman of Cripplegate, Sir Henry Edmund Knight, Knt., who at the time of his election, had not received the honour of Knighthood.
