Tradition of Lady Owen's Alms Houses in Islington
A 16th century tale links Lady Owen to ten almshouses and a free grammar school built on a Northampton estate site near Islington. An arrow incident during archery inspired a memorial triple-arrow gable, tying the alms and school to the brewers' company. The piece shifts to London spa springs along the Fleet, noting a cold spring near Mount Pleasant later linked to monied estates.
