	Clerkenwell Workhouse and Poor Law Union
		A joint workhouse for the parishes of St James and St John was erected in Clerkenwell in 1727 under the provisions of Knatchbull's Act of 1723.
		The parish of Clerkenwell elect its guardians and manages its workhouse under special local Act of Parliament, and it has certainly abused to the uttermost the opportunities for evading necessary reforms which are created by this position of affairs.
		The defects of the Clerkenwell Workhouse are so manifest, the house is so clearly unfitted for the purpose to which it is applied, that it might be supposed that nothing but intentional cruelty could lead the guardians to the policy of retaining it.

		Meanwhile, as 'the mad nun of Clerkenwell' is prophesying doom to a volatile and superstitious public, a series of bomb attacks on the city's churches confirms both her premonitions and the fears of the people.
		The Clerkenwell Tales seems to have all the characteristics of a good novel, apart from a recognisable purpose.

	The Clerkenwell Tales - Peter Ackroyd
		But once we have submerged ourselves in the muck of late fourteenth-century London, tuned our ear to the characters' tendency to speak in proverbs, and witnessed the quotidian violence that accompanies a trip to the pub, we may wonder why we have done it.
		The main threads -- the doings of the predestined ones, the battle for the throne, Clarice -- run through it prominently enough, but in constantly moving perspectives (there are twenty-two different 'tales') almost none of the stories or characters are really given an opportunity to come into their own.
		The Clerkenwell Tales is entertaining enough, but one is left with the feeling that it could have been considerably more.
