Lamb's Chapel, City of London , Church of England

Saint James in the Wall, Monkwell Street, was an ancient hermitage, a cell of Garadon Monastery, Leicestershire. In 1543 William Lambe purchased the chapel and it was bequeathed by him to the Clothworkers' Company in 1577, and the "reader" of the chapel appears to have acted as chaplain to the Company. It was therefore also known as Lamb's Chapel. The chapel was rebuilt in 1825, before being pulled down in 1872.

These registers were given to Guildhall Library in October 1902 by the Clothworkers' Company, which had purchased the first volume in July 1902 at the sale of the manuscript collection of Joseph Jackson Howard. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
