Skinners' Hall

Skinners' Hall
   On the west side of Dowgate Hill at No.8, on the boundary of Dow-gate and Vintry Wards (P.O. Directory).
   First mention: S. ed. 1598, p.192.
   Former name: "Copped Hall" (q.v.).
   The property appears to have been in the possession of the Company from the time of H. III. although afterwards alienated, so that in 19 Ed. II. it belonged to John de Cobham. Ed. III. reinstated the Skinners in their property.
   Burnt in the Great Fire and rebuilt, some of the old walls remaining. The East India Company met in this Hall at one time. Present front added 1790 by Jupp. Dining-hall rebuilt 1847-50.
