A view of part of the north-west suburbs of London, as they appeared, anno 1570

This retrospective bird's eye view of the parish of St Giles, London appeared in Parton's "History of St Gile's''. In the lower margin is a vignette of the Seal of the Ancient Hospital of St Giles, in the background are ruins and a tomb. In 1101, Matilda, wife of Henry I, founded a leper hospital in these fields outside the city walls and named it after St Giles, the patron saint of outcasts.
