Founders Hall Coade Stone
A coade stone outside Founders Hall on Bartholomew Passage, off Cloth Fair, London.
It is a representation of the Founders Company's coat of arms and used to sit atop an earlier iteration of Founders Hall. It was lost in the 19th Century and then found in a garden center in the 21st Century where it was reaquired and brought to its current location.
The Founders Company is a medieval guild for workers in small objects cast in brass such as candlesticks and weights and measures.
Date: 1800

Thank you to the Beadle (Leo) of Founders Hall for his help with the history of the stone.
