Bricklayers' Hall

A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

South out of Leadenhall Street. In Aldgate Ward (S. 140-Elmes, 1831). Behind No. 53 (Lockie, 1810).


The Bricklayers were incorporated 1568 (Elmes, 1831).

The Hall was used also by the Silkthrowers in 1720 (Strype, ed. 1720, I. ii. 54).

It was disused by the Bricklayers in the 18th century and employed as a synagogue for Dutch Jews (Lockie, 1810).

Later it was leased to the City of London College and called Sussex Hall.

It is now used as offices and called Sussex House (q.v.).
