Drapers' Hall




The Court Room

This room was renovated by Herbert Williams in the 1860s. Much of the frieze survives from the earlier 18th century decoration and the chandeliers were purchased for the room in 1797 from John Blades.

Situated on the north side of the courtyard, the position of the Court Room has not altered since the seventeenth century when the room was then known as The Parlour. When Drapers' Hall was rebuilt by Edward Jarman and Thomas Cartwright after the Great Fire it was decorated with carved wainscot, plaster ceilings, marble chimneypieces and statues.
