Drapers' 650th Anniversary Lunch for the Almshouses

The Master, the Admiral Lord Boyce, addressing the residents at the lunch

The Drapers' Company celebrates the 650th Anniversary of the grant of its first charter by Edward III this year (though the Company has existed since the C12th) and as part of the anniversary celebrations, held a lunch for the almost 200 residents of its three almshouses at Queen Elizabeth's College, Greenwich, Walter's Close, Southwark, and Edmanson's Close, Tottenham.

The residents gather in the Court Room before the lunch

The event was also close to the 450th anniversary of the founding of the first Drapers' Almshouses

    Great photos Herry, the Court Room looks really atmospheric with the light streaming through the windows. It was a great afternoon and really enjoyed by everyone who came. The Hall team did a great job. We ought to do it again. How about a 651st celebration? Adrian Lyons
