candidate, (apart from Clerkenwell and Islington) is Bermondsey.
It seems the students crossed the river to ring at Lambeth so
perhaps also to Bermondsey. But again there is no obvious source
for the Pretan Sq. reference.</font></div>

<div>This week's RW has a "75 years ago" item in which
the newly formed University of London Socy. informs of
practices being held at St.James Pretan Square. Can
anyone say which church is referred to here? My best
guess is St James, Clerkenwell, given its proximity to
the university but St. James, Prebend St., Islington
is also not far away. In neither case does there
appear to be a Pretan Square in the vicinity and nor
does one show up in a web-search; it is not a
mis-copied name either, the original is the same. I am
not aware of any such church having existed. Any
ideas?</div>
