Visit to the Tallow Chandlers’ Hall

The Worshipful Company of Tallow Chandlers is one of the oldest in the City of London, first mentioned in 1376 and granted full Livery status in 1462. The Company moved to Dowgate Hill in July 1476 and remains there to this day. The present hall, rebuilt after the Great Fire of London, was designed by the Company’s Surveyor, Captain John Caines, and completed in 1677. It survives little changed, despite damage incurred in the Second World War, with its splendid panelled interiors and collections.
