Visit to the Mansion House
On Friday 19th July I attended on the Lord Mayor along with Thames Warden, Alderman Andrew Parmley
and the clerk to present a jug of Thames water to the Lord Mayor. This
annual event celebrates the sale of the Thames Conservancy to the Corporation
of London by King Richard 1 on 14 July 1197. We had a very pleasant half
an hour with the Lord Mayor, all the more so because he is a Gifford and I am a
half-Gifford. The Lord Mayor was truly delighted with the water jug and
we did agree that it would look well if filled with a foaming type liquid too.
