Bevis Marks
Bevis Marks, classified as part of the A1211, is a short street (about 150 m long) in the ward of Aldgate in the City of London. Traffic runs northwest in a one-way direction into Camomile Street, and parallel to Houndsditch which runs southeast one-way. History The street name has been recorded as ''Bewesmarkes'' (1407), ''Bevys Marke'' (1450), ''Bevesmarkes'' (1513), ''Bevers-market'' (1630), and ''Beavis Markes'' (1677), prior to Bevis Marks (since 1720). The antiquarian John Stow believed the name to derive from the Abbots of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, in whose ownership this part of the city was until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Evidently the "r" in "Bury" had been misread as a "v" in a mediaeval manuscript; "Marks" comes from ''maerc'' (march), the boundary of the abbotts' London estate. Bury Street, adjoining to the south-west, also commemorates the association. At the dissolution, their possessions were passed to Sir Thomas Heneage, a gentleman of the ...

Richard Jefferies
John Richard Jefferies (6 November 1848 – 14 August 1887) was an English nature writer, noted for his depiction of English rural life in essays, books of natural history, and novels. His childhood on a small Wiltshire farm had a great influence on him and provides the background to all his major works of fiction. Jefferies's corpus of writings covers a range of genres and topics, including ''Bevis'' (1882), a classic children's book, and ''After London'' (1885), a work of science fiction. For much of his adult life he suffered from tuberculosis, and his struggles with the illness and with poverty also play a role in his writing. Jefferies valued and cultivated an intensity of feeling in his experience of the world around him, a cultivation that he describes in detail in ''The Story of My Heart'' (1883). This work, an introspective depiction of his thoughts and feelings about the world, gained him the reputation of a nature mystic at the time, but it is his success in conveyi ...
