'Bleeding Heart Yard', c1872. Creator: Unknown.

'Bleeding Heart Yard', c1872. Cobbled courtyard off Greville Street in Farringdon, City of London. Some sources claim that the courtyard's name commemorates the murder of Lady Elizabeth Hatton, second wife of Sir William Hatton, whose family formerly owned the area around Hatton Garden. It is said that her body was found here on 27 January 1646, 'torn limb from limb, but with her heart still pumping blood'. The yard also features in Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens. From Old and New London, Vol. II: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places, by Walter Thornbury. [Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co., London, Paris & New York].
