Archival Information
Archival history:
Immediate source of acquisition:
These documents were given to Guildhall Library by the Goldsmiths' Company in 1965-6, but do not form part of the company archive because they are mostly records of the Lanes' private business as attorneys. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
