The
Vintners' Hall, south side of Upper Thames Street
The
Georgian 'stately brick edifice', as its medieval predecessor,
was built on the site of a mansion called 'Stody Place',
or 'Manor of the Vintry', which was given to the Vintners
Company in the fourteenth century by Sir John Stody. The
medieval Hall, which had thirteen almshouses attached,
was destroyed in the Great
Fire of London in 1666, after which the Hall depicted
above was built in 1671. This Hall still survives.
