[Bell Historians] St James, Pretan Square.

Sun Oct 13 05:56:18 BST 2019

I suspect the practice would have been held on the old 6 at St James, Prebend (not Pretan) Street, Islington.

     This almost certainly won't help, but just in case, Pretan is one form of the ancient Greek name for these islands, which when translated into Latin got corrupted into Britain.

 Could there be some sort of academic jest or pun going on here?

 I couldn't rule that out, but nor can I suggest what the game might be. Another possible 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. Ted

      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? Ted
