Plaque

John Marshall

Erection date: 1967

Inscription

{The plaque:}
John Marshall, founder of Marshall's Charity, lived at his mansion house near this spot until his death in 1631, as did his father before him. Marshall's Charity had its offices here until 1967.

{Inscribed in Gothic lettering on a frieze across the front of the building, above the door:}
MDCFFOII John Marshall MDCCCLIII
{1627 John Marshall 1853}

We had this entry in our puzzle corner for a while because of the Fs and O in the Roman numerals but Peter Kidd of manuscripts.org.uk confirms our interpretation that, in late-medieval script, these read as Xs and V so the date translates as 1627, the year John Marshall's will was written.

The first 3 stories of this building have charming heads carved on the ends of the window drip (or hood) moulds.  They could be intended to represent specific royal and religious historic characters but they also have the look of the off-the-shelf decorative sculpture which was popular at this time, 1853.
