Plaque

Founders' Hall - Lothbury

Inscription

In this court stood Founder's Hall, 1531 - 1845, rebuilt after the Great Fire 1666.
The Corporation of the City of London

We believe that, for all the livery companies, their Halls should be named with the apostrophe (if any) after the "s" and so this should be "Founders' Hall" and the plaque is wrong. We aren't too exercised by apostrophes but some people really care, so we thought we'd better comment.

A lovely and unusual plaque - we cannot discover when, nor by whom, it was erected.

Unsurprisingly the International Ripperologists Society doesn't seem to exist other than as part of this misconceived museum.
