Archival Information

Archival history:

Immediate source of acquisition:

The records were deposited in Guildhall Library by the City of London Valuation and Rating Department in 1922. They were catalogued by a member of Guildhall Library staff in 1938. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Allied Materials

Related material:

The Inn is also included in the poor rate assessment books of St Andrew Holborn for 1728-1829 (P82/AND). Thavie's Inn had no church or chapel, and searchers for baptisms, marriages and burials in the area are advised to use the parish registers of St Andrew Holborn.

No records are known to survive of Thavie's Inn as an Inn of Chancery. The Inn became defunct and the premises sold in 1769. The site was later occupied by a workhouse, Thavies Inn Casual Ward at Holborn; the London Metropolitan Archives holds some records at reference CBG.
