<font face="Times New Roman">If you use the Booth map's search
feature, it returns "Prebend Street parish", even though the map
itself says "Square" - so this records the last vestiges of the
old parish name before it was changed. Curiously, the map clearly
shows that P Street actually lies outside the border of Prebend
Square parish.<br>
<br>
A bit of searching shows that there was indeed a Prebend Square,
and that it was ancient:<br>

<blockquote><font face="Times New Roman">"PREBEND STREET. New North
Road (1852) The 'Prebend Field' was left by Lady Packington to
Prebend Square. In 1946 the Council acquired the freehold of the
Square from the London & Manchester Assurance Co. Ltd. The
Prebend Manor dates from c. 1065 when William the Conqueror
restored to the Canons of St. Paul's land of about 100 acres."<br>
... "ST. JAMES THE APOSTLE 1873/5 was commenced as a
replacement of Lambe's Chapel, Monkswell Street, City,
demolished in 1872. Its architect was Frederick William Porter,
architect to the Clothworkers' Co. About 1960 a road widening
scheme deprived it of its graveyard. William Lambe was a
Clothworker. The Church was consecrated 4 May 1875 but in 1978
was declared redundant and made part of St. Mary's and St.
Stephen's parishes."<br>

"LAMBE, WILLIAM (1495-1580), London merchant and benefactor, son
of William Lambe, was born at Sutton Valence, Kent, in 1495.
According to the statement of Abraham Fleming, his contemporary
biographer, Lambe came from ' a mean estate ' in the country to
be a gentleman of the Chapel Royal to Henry VIII. He was
admitted a freeman of the Clothworkers' Company in 1568, and
served the office of master in 1569-70. In early life he lived
in London Wall, next to <font color="#ff0000">the ancient
hermitage chapel of St. James's, </font>belonging to the
abbey of Gerendon in Leicestershire. Two monks of this community
served the chapel as chaplains. A well belonging to them
supplied its name to the adjoining Monkwell Street. Through his
influence with the king <font color="#ff0000">Lambe purchased
this chapel at the dissolution, </font>by letters patent
dated 30 March 34 Henry VIII (1542), and bequeathed it with his
house, lands, and tenements, to the value of 301. yearly, to the
Company of Clothworkers. Out of this he directed that a minister
should be engaged to perform divine service in his chapel every
Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday throughout the year, and to preach
four sermons yearly before the members of the company, who were
to attend in their gowns. The company were also to provide
clothing for twenty-four poor men and women, and received 4il.
yearly from the trust for their pains. <font color="#ff0000">Lambe's
chapel, <font color="#000000">with the almshouses adjoining,</font>
was pulled down in 1825,</font> and in 1872, under an act of
35 & 36 Viet. cap. 154, <font color="#ff0000">the chapel
was finally removed to Prebend Square, Islington, where the
present church of St. James's, of the foundation of William
Lambe, was erected in its stead.</font> At the west end of the
church is a fine bust of the founder in his livery gown, with a
purse in one hand and his gloves in the other. It bears the date
1612, and was removed from the chapel in London Wall."<br>

<p>Thanks; that is pretty conclusive; in fact the more one
looks the more references to Prebend Square come to light.
It seems that there may have been an actual square but
that it disappeared under other development. I too had
checked the original source and such maps as I could. An
interesting little diversion. Thanks to those who took an
interest.</p>
