Building From 1476

Tallow Chandlers Hall

In 1476 the Tallow Chandlers bought what was probably a merchant’s house on Dowgate Hill and used that as their Hall. The Hall was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666 and rebuilt 1671-3. Damaged in WW2 but survived. Our picture shows the inner court in 1852.
