Talk:Paternoster Row

Name
It's far more likely the street was named after the religious tracts that were sold there. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 18:33, 10 December 2014 (UTC).

Amen Corner seems to have been part of Paternoster Row. Thus But more clarity is needed.

Circular links?
I noticed that there are many circular links, that is, links that when clicked send a reader back to this article, in. I was going to remove one of them, and then I noticed that there are many of them. I don't see what purpose these links serve. What am I missing? Biogeographist (talk) 16:36, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

The sign of the Crane, E. Brewster
I'm not entirely sure what the numbers mean at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster_Row#Crane but if it's date of proprietorship, Edward Brewster operated the Crane at least as early as 1672, per my copy of The Last Will and Testament of Basil Valentine, which states it was "printed by S.G. and B.G. for Edward Brewster, and to be sold at the Sign of the Crane in ST. Paul's Church Yard, 1672." Not sure if that counts as original research or not, so I figured I'd leave the information here should someone more knowledgeable of the rules decide to make an edit. 100.16.5.65 (talk) 21:50, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Year
2003 is the year given for "Paternoster Square". This existed already 200 years ago. So it's clearly wrong. 79.106.209.5 (talk) 01:23, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
