Cutlers' Hall

Festive nosebag in Cutler's Hall? There's fancy - what's the occasion?

Well spotted! How do you know it (the hall)?

Annual Christmas dinner of Cutlers and families

I'd been looking at the Halls online recently to see what public opening times theymight have. Hammer beams were familiar, the crest definitive. ;)

Are you a Cutler, or family?

Yes, elephant heads is a give-away too (linked to ivory of handles)

I became a Cutler a couple of years ago (no family links, I once got some moolah from them to study abroad [Capt FG Boot Scholarship] and have had contact with the Company since - they continue to do a lot of good in the Education arena)

If you'd like a tour of the Hall I'd be happy to sort that for you

Praise be for Capt Boot - wonder if age discrimination legislation has in any way altered his gift. Six months immersion study sounds like very heaven right now. :)

As to touring - a very kind offer, may hold you to that one day.

Why the interest in city guild halls? architectural?

Ah, there you have me. "Why the interest?" is in the order of questions I never ask myself. Am easily amused by shiny pieces of knowledge. Philo sophia. Can't be helped. ;)
