Goldsmiths

The original Goldsmiths' Company Hall -- where, we are told at the end of the play, Touchstone Junior and Moll Yellowhammer's wedding dinner will eventually take place -- is no longer standing. The same holds for the building that replaced it, which was torn down in the nineteenth century. But the Goldsmiths' Company still exists. Its website offers useful information on the Company's history here. Poke around a bit on the site if you have time; we'll talk more about the livery companies in class tomorrow.
