  College of Arms Tour

 Thursday 14 January 2010, 6.15pm for 6.30pm to 9.30pm

Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4BT

 The London Commander invites you to join him for a rare opportunity to tour The College of Arms, with our guide and host being; William Hunt, the Windsor Herald of Arms.

Heralds were first mentioned at the time of the First Crusade and became prominent from the late 12th Century. King Richard III in 1484 granted them a Charter of incorporation with a house in the City of London. Since this time, the Heralds have built up a unique history or armorial and family records.

The tour will begin with the history of heraldry and the rτle of the Heralds, then an introduction to the architecture of the building, before seeing the Record Room, where we will view a selection of records dating back some 500 years. This will be followed with wine and supper.

For visitors and guests, the College would like to remind that the nearest tube, Blackfriars (but not main line) is closed. However, the car park across the road is open 24 hours per day. They also stress that since the current College was built in the 17th century, it was without the disabled in mind and all access is via flights of stairs
