Farringdon, originally meaning fern covered hill, belonged to Nicholas de Farindon, who purchased the area in 1279. In 1394 the ward was separated into Farringdon Within and Farringdon Without, a split which still exists. The area was previously the location of Farringdon Market. Smithfield Meat Market, The Jerusalem Tavern and St Etheldreda’s Church are all in Farringdon.
