Overview

History & significance

Stationers' Hall is a Grade I listed building located in Ave Maria Lane, London, which served as the headquarters of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers from 1553 onwards. The present structure dates from the late seventeenth century, having been rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666, with subsequent modifications and restorations undertaken in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The hall functions as a significant example of post-Fire City of London architecture and retains its role as a livery company hall. Its historical importance derives from its association with the regulation of the printing and publishing trades in England, as the Stationers' Company maintained the register of published works from the sixteenth century until the eighteenth century.
