Top Lots

The Hall is taking advantage of a unique fundraising opportunity, Top Lots. This is a heritage auction run in partnership between Ebay, the Association for Independent Museums, heritage specialists the Development Partners, working closely with VisitBritian and EnjoyEngland. The aim is to generate vital new funds for the participating museums, galleries and heritage partners- all for not profit organisations.

The Hall will be auctioning off the opportunity to take a guided tour with the official Clerk to the Company, providing the chance to view rare and precious items from our archives, and finish by taking tea with the Governor of the Company. A unique experience for anyone interested in history, museums, medieval buildings or guilds.
