Summary "Memorials of Old London, Volume 1" by P. H. Ditchfield is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the rich and diverse history of London, capturing its evolution from Celtic through Roman and Saxon times to the Norman period. The text is structured as a collection of essays by various experts, showcasing London's historic buildings, social customs, and significant events that have shaped the city’s identity. The opening of the first volume sets the stage for a grand celebration of London's past, coinciding with the city's pageant festivities in 1909. Ditchfield emphasizes that London itself is a living pageant, filled with historical remnants that tell the story of its growth and significance. The initial chapters introduce the readers to the concept of "Celtic London," outlining its origins and the early settlements along the Thames, building anticipation for the detailed explorations that will follow in examining the formation of the city's ancient boundaries, structures, and its unique cultural tapestry throughout various historical epochs.
