Originally known as the "Ward of Anketill de Auvergne", [ [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=7196. 'Ward of Anketill de Auvergne', A Dictionary of London (1918)] . Date accessed: 27 October 2006.] Farringdon was named for Sir Nicholas Farindon, who was appointed Lord Mayor for "as long as it shall please him" by Edward II. [Nicholas Farringdon served as Lord Mayor 1308-9, 1320-1, and again, 1323-4] The ward had been in the Farindon family for 82 years at this time, his father, William Farindon preceding him as alderman in 1281, when he purchased the position. The father was Lord Mayor in 1281-2 and also warden of the Goldsmiths. [ [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=45053 'The Lord Mayors of London', Old and New London: Volume 1 (1878), pp. 396-416] .

[ [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=45553. 'Gregory's Chronicle: 1250-1367', The Historical Collections of a Citizen of London in the fifteenth century (1876), pp. 67-88] .
