  • Download City Events, February 2016
    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ February 2016 Published by FCC in conjunction with the Archdeaconry of London www.cityevents.website _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sword Rests of the City The historic churches of the City of London contain many unusual and interesting furnishings and fittings. Among the most intriguing are the sword rests which are present in so many of the churches in the “square mile”, but in very few other locations in the country. Sword rests, or sword stands as they are sometimes called, were originally installed in City churches to hold the Lord Mayor's sword of state when he visited a different church every Sunday, a practice which ceased in 1883. The Lord mayor would be accompanied by various officers of the City, including the swordbearer, who would place the ceremonial sword upright in a sword rest, most commonly attached to the front pews. The oldest surviving rest dates from 1664 and the majority were installed in the 18th and 19th centuries. There are 58 surviving sword rests originating from City churches or livery halls. Two thirds of these can be seen in City churches, four are in livery halls, while the remainder are either in storage in churches or in museums . Two can be seen in All Hallows Twickenham, a Wren church rebuilt in the suburbs in 1939. All the sword rests, with the exception of that in St Michael Cornhill, are surmounted by a royal crown and almost all have the City’s coat of arms prominently displayed. Many also show the royal arms, the coat of arms of at least one Lord Mayor and, in a number of cases, the arms of the livery company of which dthe Lor Mayor was a member.
