The Livery Halls of the City of London by Anya Lucas
For more than 600 years the Livery Companies have played a leading role in the commerical activities and social and political life in the City of London. In the 14th and 15th centuries they began acquiring, adapting and building 'headquarters': the Livery Halls. All of the existing Halls have been freshly photographed and documented.
Anya Lucas (née Matthews) is an art and architectural historian specializing in 17th- and 18th-century Britain. Her PhD (2015) at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, examined the architecture and political uses of London’s Livery Halls in the early modern period. She has written about the Livery Halls for Country Life magazine and the Georgian Group Journal, and contributed a chapter on the subject to the book Court, Country, City: British Art and Architecture, 1660–1735 (Yale University Press, 2016). She currently works as Research Curator for the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London, where a major conservation project on Sir James Thornhill’s vast baroque scheme is under way.
