The lecture will trace the history and rebuilding of the area around the premises of the Worshipful Company of Tallow Chandlers on Dowgate Hill. Nearby streets such as Fish Street Hill, Skinners Lane and Garlick Hill indicate a past full of bustle, markets and trade. The Monument stands close by, designed by Robert Hooke in 1671 to commemorate the Great Fire of London and the rebirth of the City, the legacy of which can still be seen in Sir Christopher Wren’s many splendid City churches.
