It was destroyed in the Great Fire and not rebuilt. A new hall was opened in 1978. The modern Company gives prizes for stained glass design and assists churches with the repair of their stained glass.

The archives have been deposited in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library at various dates since 1949. The Manuscripts Section merged with London Metropolitan Archives in 2008.
