Pewterers Hall

In 1484 the acquired a site in Lime Street (which they still own) where they built a Hall, completed in 1496.  This was destroyed in the Great Fire of London and a more modest second hall was built on the site in 1670.  The Company used this less and less, last dining there in 1801.  It was damaged by a fire in 1840, not repaired and demolished in 1932.  Some items were rescued: the oak panelling from the Charles II Master’s parlour is held by the Geffrye Museum; more oak panelling and chandeliers are incorporated in the Court Room of the 1961 third hall in Oat Lane, and the stone entrance arch was re-erected on the UCL campus.

The picture shows the entrance in place at Lime Street in 1932.

Pewterer's Hall is marked on the . It's set back from Lyme Street on the section now occupied by numbers 15 and 18, immediately to the west of The Bunch of Grapes.
