Heritage Gallery is now open to the public with its centrepiece being the finest surviving 13th century copy of Magna Carta. The Gallery, part of and located within Guildhall Art Gallery, opened in September effectively kicking off the document’s 800th anniversary. Magna Carta was fundamental to defining individual freedom and the rule of law, and laid the foundations for modern democracy. The City of London had an active role in the events that led to Magna Carta’s The new Gallery includes the 1297 Magna creation in 1215: the Mayor (today known as the Carta (complete with the first ever ‘post-it’ Lord Mayor) was appointed to see, along with the note!), before rotating the main exhibit with barons, that its provisions were carried out and the other pieces that include the 1067 William City of London is the only place to be specifically Charter and the Shakespeare Deed. mentioned in Magna Carta. The Gallery also showcases a selection of heritage treasures it holds in trust for the nation.

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. •CHAPTER 1 Vintry Ward, London Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience. — James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man In the early 1340s, in Vintry Ward, London— the time and place of Chaucer’s birth— a book went missing. It wasn’t a very important book. Known as a ‘portifory,’ or breviary, it was a small volume containing a variety of excerpted religious texts, such as psalms and prayers, designed to be carried about easily (as the name demonstrates, it was portable).1 It was worth about 20 shillings, the price of two cows, or almost three months’ pay for a carpenter, or half of the ransom of an archer captured by the French.2 The very presence of this book in the home of a mer- chant opens up a window for us on life in the privileged homes of the richer London wards at this time: their inhabitants valued books, ob- jects of beauty, learning, and devotion, and some recognized that books could be utilized as commodities. The urban mercantile class was flour- ishing, supported and enabled by the development of bureaucracy and of the clerkly classes in the previous century.3 While literacy was high in London, books were also appreciated as things in themselves: it was 1 Sharpe, Calendar of Letter- Books of the City of London: Letter- Book F, fol.

The team’s focus therefore moved immediately to one thing, and one thing alone: that of supporting all the Cordwainer community (which is mostly businesses, but also includes a small residential population and rough sleepers) through the pandemic. Most of the work was in managing the many inbound enquiries on business rates or the package of government grants for small businesses, particularly for from current rising City footfall levels, and the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors. tube/train passenger volumes.

  • London Mercers
    -324- MERCERS IN MEDIEVAL LONDON A FAMILY OF MERCERS IN MEDIEVAL LONDON by Shirley Garton Straney1 ABSTRACT A fourteenth century family coordinating elements of English life, the academy, the church, the crown, land, commerce and family connections to become significant participants in London life. Foundations (2005) 1 (5): 324-337 © Copyright FMG A study of medieval London describes Hugh Garton as a Yorkshireman and one of the “three leading Wardrobe mercers” in that city, and also Sheriff in 1313 and Alderman of Coleman Street ward from 1319 until his death in 1327 (Williams, 1963, pp.134-135 & 140). Although the study refers to him as an immigrant to London, he was not the first of the name there. The first found in the Corporation of London’s books is William Garton, Citizen and Mercer of London who on Thursday, 19 March 1292/3 was granted a shop in Sopers Lane in the parish of St. Pancras by Hugh Chelmeford, Citizen of London and his wife Alice2. Thus began the family in Sopers Lane in Cordwainer ward in London, centre of the Mercers and Pepperers, and near to the Guildhall, where the Citizens met. In this period the Citizens, including William Garton, agreed to send twenty men with horses to accompany Sir Edward, the king’s son, to protect the coast of Kent and stay four weeks3. On 25 April 1311 William was one of the receivers of 1,000 marks to be sent to the king in Scotland4. They delivered this by messenger to the king, and purchased a horse from William Garton for the use of the messenger.

    Committee(s): Date: Policy and Resources 3 June 2021 Subject: Public Amendment to an Act of Common Council - Aldermanic Elections Which outcomes in the City Corporation’s Corporate Plan does this proposal aim to impact directly? Does this proposal require extra revenue and/or No capital spending? If so, how much? N/A What is the source of Funding? N/A Has this Funding Source been agreed with the N/A Chamberlain’s Department?

  • Songs and Music of the City of London: a New Pocket Guide to the City of London’S Contemporary Activities Involving Music in All Its Facets
    June 2021 Dear Clerks to the several City of London Livery Companies, Following the culmination of a two-year project, we are pleased to announce the publication of Songs and Music of the City of London: a new pocket guide to the City of London’s contemporary activities involving music in all its facets. We are delighted that Alderman Sir Andrew Parmley, Lord Mayor of London (2016-17), has written the Foreword. The guide covers education, performance and composition of music, whether in the City’s churches, schools, in the Barbican Centre, on the City’s streets such as during the Lord Mayor’s Show, or through sponsorship by the Livery Companies through education and awards. It also includes the various anthems, songs and sung graces of the City’s Livery Companies. In our research for content, we have been constantly surprised at every turn by such a rich abundance of musical talent, events, venues, and performing groups concentrated in such a small geographic area. In our belief that hitherto no single existing publication has captured the immense array of ways in which the City benefits wider society through the medium of music, the aim of our guide is to fill this gap by means of a concise, accessible guide for all. The publication takes the form of a pocket guide, equally suited to the needs of the tourist, the City worker, and those among the Livery Companies and affiliated organisations who have an interest in the musical events and activities within the City. The material is intended for a generalist audience rather than the music aficionado.
