This intro by the London Archives is only a short 30 mins session. I want to hear what they say about medieval London, and then continue this Meetup as a social event by going for drinks afterwards, likely in Exmouth Market.

The London Archives say:
"“Join us for a short session to learn more about the Spotlight on Medieval London display at the London Archives.

The event includes a short introductory talk about the items in the Spotlight on Medieval London exhibition from a member of the London Archives team, followed by Q&A and time for independent browsing. This small display showcases some of the rich medieval material in our collections: two illuminated manuscripts, two watercolours of City of London aldermen dating from around 1450, alongside two further medieval documents."

The exhibition is open until mid Dec 2026. But please note that their annual closure runs 14-31 August, so they are only open again in September. Tuesday's event is our chance in August to get a look at this small but intriguing display!

The other material includes charter and statute transcripts, a property purchase, a 1392 apprenticeship record of a female, and a 1602 receipt related to Dick Whittington.
