Résumé du livre

"This is a new history written by Dr Penelope Hunting and produced to mark the centenary of Ironmongers' Hall. This handsome volume takes an innovative thematic approach that incorporates extensive research into City records, revealing that Ironmongers were influential in the government of the medieval City; they were also astute merchants trading in commodities that ranged from iron rods to silk. At 432 pages with some 420 illustrations this is an attractive volume, essential reading for members of the Company, and a handsome gift for anybody interested in the history of London and the City livery companies."--
