A small free display of the archive's medieval papers: two illuminated manuscripts, a 1402 receipt from Dick Whittington, and an apprenticeship recorded in 1392.
HistoryFree
The centrepiece is the Cartae Antiquae, a late fifteenth-century volume of copied charters and statutes on vellum, shown open at a portrait of Henry VI inside an illuminated border; a second manuscript is open at a full-page painted Crucifixion. Beside them are the 1402 receipt in which Richard Whittington - four times Lord Mayor, and the man behind the pantomime Dick Whittington - and others record buying property in Hertfordshire, the apprenticeship of Katherine Nougle in 1392, and two watercolour portraits of City of London aldermen from about 1450.
Once a month a member of the archive's staff gives a short introduction to the case at 17:00 and takes questions; otherwise it is there to look at whenever the archive is open.
