| Description |
English: West Smithfield, Memorial to Wat Tyler and the Peasants’ Revolt. On the wall outside St Bartholomew's Hospital. Erected 2015 by Matthew Bell.
‘At this place on 15th June 1381, Wat Tyler, John Ball and other representatives of the Great Rising met King Richard II to finalise terms for ending the Rebellion. The King had agreed to all the political reforms aimed at alleviating the plight of the people. However he and his advisors later reneged on that agreement, after killing Tyler in the process near this spot. John Ball and many others of the Revolt were also later executed.’ "Things cannot go on well in England nor ever well until everything shall be in common when there shall be neither vassal nor Lord, and all distinctions levelled". John Ball. |
