The Innholders Hall
Tonight I went to a Christmas party hosted by some advisors in the industry I used to work in. I was flattered to be invited as I was not going to bring them any busines so I took lots of photos of their guests for them. This one outside the Innholders Hall is still posed but as least has an interesting back drop.
The Wiki entry reads:- “The Worshipful Company of Innholders is ranked 32nd of the 110 Livery Companies of the City of London. The Innholders were originally known as hostellers, but their name had changed by the time it was incorporated under a royal charter in 1514” And from their website :- In 1666 the hall, close to the centre of the great fire, was destroyed with most of its early records. Fortunately its fine silver and its charters survived, either because they were being held by the Master at the Ram Inn in Smithfield or because they were removed there after the fire broke out.
The hall was immediately rebuilt and completed in 1670. The earlier front doorway, the Old Court Room, and the magnificent Dining Hall have been little altered since
