Texas Legation
In this building was the legation for the ministers from the Republic of Texas to the Court of St. James, 1842 - 1846.
Erected by the Anglo-Texan Society.
The plaque was erected in 1963 on the initiative of Sir Alfred Bossom MP, then president of the Anglo-Texan Society. It was unveiled by Texas governor Price Daniel, Sr. Note that ambassadors to Britain are officially ambassadors to the Court of St. James's which includes the monarch and a group of diplomats.
The paintwork on the whole ground floor of this building has an aged quality which is either deliberate or evidence of centuries of painting without sufficient preparation.
