hFF from Draper's Hall in Shrewsbury

The first "hall" or meeting place for the Guild is not known, but in 1485 a new guildhall was built close to St Mary's Church and the almshouses, at a cost of £9-15s-6d. Almost a century later, in 1576, the heyday of the Drapers' prosperity, the present hall was built on the same site in the old commercial centre of the town.
