IRONMONGERS’ HALL
The Company is tenth in order of precedence and is, therefore, one of the Great Twelve Livery
Companies of the City of London. The earliest records suggest that the Ironmongers, then known
as Ferroners, were an effective body in 1300 and received a charter of incorporation from
Edward IV in 1463.
In 1457 the Company bought buildings in Fenchurch Street and converted them into a Hall, which
was later enlarged. It was rebuilt in 1587 and escaped the Great Fire of 1666. A third Hall was built
in 1745 on the same site. In the First World War, on 7th July 1917, during a raid by about twenty
German aeroplanes, it was damaged by a bomb. After the war, the site was sold and the building
demolished. The land in Shaftesbury Place, Aldersgate Street, on which the present Hall stands, was
bought in 1922 and the new Tudor style Hall was opened on 17th June 1925.
