  • The Lord Mountevans'
    In Support Of The Lord Mountevans’ Reflections as 688th Lord Mayor of London BENEFICIARY TRANSCRIPT Your Excellency, Minister, Deputy Master, Aldermen, Masters, Ladies and Gentlemen May I begin by first extending my own warm personal welcome to you all to Trinity House, one of THE most important maritime organisations here in this maritime country. Thank you, Deputy Master, for the opportu- nity to dine in this glorious and his- toric setting. The Lord Mayor, who holds office for just one year, heads the Corporation, and is primarily the chief spokesman and ambassador for London and the UK’s world-leading Financial and Professional Services (FPS). Because the City’s role is so wide and given that there are numerous stakeholders to represent and engage with, there are many who contribute to the very busy programme, including the Government. For example, the overseas visits programme is developed in conjunction with the FCO and business. National and International events as well as important anniversaries also play a role. What I am trying to indicate is that the Lord Mayor does not have as much “rudder” over his or her programme as might be imagined. However, Lord Mayors each have their own individual character and their own individual style. They also have their own individual business backgrounds. The one year of office is, I believe, an advantage as it brings renewed energy and freshness and enables a spot- light to be shone on a different sector each year in line with the individual’s background. As many of you know, my background is very maritime.

  • How to Be Lord Mayor.Pdf
    This note is one of a series placed in the Clerks’ Almanac by the Livery Committee. Most are written by its chairman, of whom you may read more at the foot of the Contact page. They are intended to be of guidance to livery clerks, especially new ones, or those seeking advice on a particular topic. They are not prescriptive, and how individual companies choose to conduct their affairs is, of course, entirely up to them. How to become the Lord Mayor? A simple guide. There is much formal guidance around on this topic, and any serious aspirant would do well to seek an early meeting with a senior member of the Court of Aldermen (the Court), who are best placed to advise, and are willing and ready to do so. But this note is aimed at those (maybe more junior) liverymen who see the Mansion House as some more distant ambition. Qualification. There are two essential qualifications to become Lord Mayor (LM). First, you need to be an alderman, elected to represent one of the 25 wards of the City. And second you must have served the office of Sheriff. If you not sure what an aldermen or sheriff does, or how they are elected, you need to do some homework, either elsewhere at this site, or at the City of London website, or better, by meeting current or past incumbents, possibly from within your own livery. Age. The lower age limit to be an alderman is 21, but the upper is 70. So as you must be an alderman to serve LM, you will need to be under 70.

  • FRONT.CHP:Corel VENTURA
    Early Theatre 7.2 (2004) David Carnegie Galley-foists, the Lord Mayor’s Show, and Early Modern English Drama Rogues, Hellhounds, Stentors, out of my dores, you sonnes of noise and tumult, begot on an ill May-day, or when the Gally-foist is a-floate to Westminster!’ (4.2.124–6) In this passage from Jonson’s Epicoene, Morose, ‘A Gent. that loues no noise’, berates Daw, La Foole, and Captain Otter for introducing trumpets and drums to his house, and in his desperate desire for silence drives them off ‘with a long sword’.1 The general sense of the passage is clear, with the noisily popular celebrations at May Day and at the lord mayor’s show (‘when the Gally-foist is a-floate to Westminster!’) regarded, with justification, as begetters of noise (and, indeed, trumpeting and drumming). The reference to the ‘Gally-foist’, however, will not only be obscure to most modern readers, but has been consistently misunderstood by editors of Jonson as well as by the Oxford English Dictionary and the standard book on English civic pageantry in the early modern period.2 Furthermore, the problem is self-perpetuating, as editors of other plays copy the mistake. The misconception has some significant impli- cations for our understanding of both lord mayor’s show and many passages in early modern English drama. My purpose in this paper is to identify the problem, to explain and provide evidence for the true nature of the galley-foist in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and to gloss passages from the plays of the period that use the term so that we may better understand the full resonance of its use.

  • Sir Robert Finch
    Sir Robert Finch Leading property lawyer who later became Lord Mayor of London; member of Bridewell Court 1992-2013 and vice President 2005-2013. May 11 2016, 12:01am, The Times Robert Finch at the Lord Mayor’s office. He was one of the City’s most effective ambassadors, visiting more than 30 countries © TIMES NEWSPAPERS LTD Sir Robert Finch, a former Lord Mayor of London, was for years the foremost property lawyer in the capital who negotiated multimillion-pound contracts for international companies seeking a headquarters in London. He was respected and feared in equal measure, and his formidable negotiating skills made him the go-to lawyer at a time when dozens of international companies were seeking to establish themselves in the City. During the boom years in the 1980s and 1990s, he played a significant role in consolidating London’s reputation as a global centre of finance and commerce — and then represented the capital as its lord mayor, marketing the City around the world. During his year in office, he visited more than 30 countries, proving to be one of the most effective ambassadors to have held office in Mansion House. For almost three decades Finch was a key figure in the property department of Linklaters, one of the leading London law firms. His astute grasp of the property market, his skill in hard bargaining and his doggedness in getting the deal his clients wanted, made him the lawyer of choice, reportedly earning his company some of the highest fees in the City. Every investor wanted him on their side; few relished finding him leading the opposition.

  • City of London Liveryman Franchise
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 3.3 THE ELECTORAL FRANCHISE IN THE CITY OF LONDON The right of voting in London varied according to the office contested. Such variations had arisen over time and were accepted as historical legacies, even if they were sometimes confusing to contemporaries. The following sections explain the variant elec- toral franchises for: 3.3.1 Common Hall 3.3.2 Wardmote (ward meeting) 3.3.3 London liveryman franchise 3.3.4 London parliamentary elections 3.3.5 Elections for lord mayor of London 3.3.6 Elections for chamberlain of London 3.3.7 Elections for sheriff of London and Middlesex 3.3.1 Common Hall The Common Hall, presided over by the sheriff, had the right of election for Members of Parliament and also for the offices of sheriff, lord mayor, chamberlain, bridge masters, auditors, and aleconners. This franchise, vested in the liverymen of the City’s several livery companies, had no residential qualification. As a result, duly qualified people from outside the municipal area were entitled to return in order to vote. The lord mayor sent a summons to the master of each livery company requiring him to notify the liverymen to attend Guildhall, wearing their livery gowns. The beadle of each company was supposed to prevent anyone not of the livery from attending. 2 LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY Those not eligible to vote were required to withdraw from Guildhall. That proviso was, however, difficult to enforce absolutely strictly. Indeed, the laughter said to have followed this order provides some evidence that implementation on some occasions was a problem, according to a report in 1837.1 In fact, between 1700 and 1850 all parliamentary general elections for London except those of 1830 and 1831 went to a poll, at which more rigorous criteria were applied.

  • Press Release Faith in the City of London by Niki Gorick Foreword by the Lord Mayor of London
    Press Release Faith in the City of London By Niki Gorick Foreword by the Lord Mayor of London. Introduction by Edward Lucie-Smith 9 April 2020 Hardback, £25 ‘I am delighted that this book reveals and celebrates the City of London’s very active and diverse spiritual life. It is an unheralded side to London’s financial centre that deserves to be better known and appreciated’ The Right Honourable The Lord Mayor Alderman William Russell The mention of ‘Faith in The City of London’ conjures up images of ceremonial events in St. Paul's Cathedral, but there are over 40 other Anglican churches, as well as Jewish, Dutch, Catholic and Welsh places of worship squeezed in between The Square Mile's towers of commerce. Intrigued by this incongruity, highly acclaimed London photographer Niki Gorick has gained unique access to capture the day-to-day workings of these ancient buildings and discovered a vibrant, diverse spiritual life stretching out into many faiths. This is a book about London and Londoners from a completely new angle, revealing a rich mix of characters, traditions and human interest stories. From weddings, communions, evangelical bible studies and Livery company carol services, to Knights Templar investitures, huge wet fish displays, Afghan music and vicars wielding knives, the photographs show an extraordinary range of spiritual goings-on and charismatic personalities. For the first time, it's possible to get a real insight into a side of London's Square Mile not dominated by money-making, where City workers are trying to connect to life's deeper meanings and where religious traditions and questions of faith are still very much alive.

Reflecting on the process now, as it nears its end, it is abundantly clear how much writing a dissertation is a team sport. None of this could have been accomplished without Dr. Thomas Cogswell, who patiently guided me through this process from start to finish. If the reader finds any part of this dissertation engaging, it is almost certainly the result of Tom’s ear for a good story, and his never-ending drive to see that story completely extracted from the source material. I owe Dr. Randolph Head a significant debt, not only for his support of this project, but also for modeling the kind of diligence and rigor that makes academic research possible. I must thank Dr. Malcolm Baker for helping me to see structure and space as primary sources, and to Dr. Kristoffer Neville, for teaching me to engage with these sources. I cannot forget to thank Professor Jonathan Eacott who provided some much need last minute support for this project.

And attempt to put it into historical perspective for you. But what explains the current surge of popularity that the Show is experiencing? In this very challenging economic climate we have more organisations paid up to participate than we have ever had before. The crowds on the route are huge and getting bigger every year. Television audiences are not only strong but the appreciation index is off the scale. You can go back to Aristotle or Pericles to find the roots and the relevance of civic ceremonial, and interesting work has been done recently on the social and biological implications of screen time and social networking, (Aric Sigman "Well Connected? The biological implications of 'social networking'." Institute of Biology Feb 2009) "One of the most pronounced changes in the daily habits of British Citizens is a reduction in the number of minutes per day that they interact with another human being. Recent history has seen people in marked retreat from one another as Britain moves from a culture of greater common experience to a society of more isolated experience. She is in good company, as Americans too step back form on another in unprecedented magnitude." (Carne Ross "The Leaderless Revolution" 2011) talks about the power of the crowd: "this was the power of the crowd, a force that can be felt benignly in the exhilaration of a cheering crowd, or malignly in a rioting mob" very topical.
