Today is the day of the annual St Matthew’s Day Procession in the City of London, with pupils of Christ’s Hospital School maintaining a long-established tradition by processing from the church of St Sepulchre Newgate Street to the Guildhall, there to partake of luncheon with the Lord Mayor of London. The school was originally founded on the site of the dissolved Greyfriars Priory on Newgate Street in 1552. It moved to a new location in Horsham in Sussex in 1902.
Traditions like this are very important
