During the period 1660-1688, Cripplegate ward was known for the poverty of its inhabitants and for its lively dissenting community; it was a haven for Huguenots, and it boasted the highest number of ejected ministers in 1662 in CalamyÕs account.
Cripplegate church records show that dissenting ministers, including the Independent Samuel Slater, were paid to preach at Cripplegate church even after their ejection.
Giles Cripplegate of MiltonÕs day, then, was a church in flux, a conduit through which the tensions between Anglicanism and varieties of dissent were filtered, and it is clear from the records that sympathies remained largely on the side of dissent.
