89. The Myddelton Church Service

Each year, before the Myddelton Lunch, the Company organizes a Church Service for the re-dedication of the Livery. The service is in celebration of the granting of Livery status to the Company in the year 2000.

This year, the Service was held at St Michael’s Church in Cornhill and was led by our Chaplain, the Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin who was supported by the Rector of St Michael’s, the Rt Revd Dr Stephen Platten. The Service was well attended by Members and their guests and the Master participated by reading the lesson and presenting the Wardens and Members for the act of re-dedication.

Following the Service, the Master, Wardens, Past Masters and Members of the Court processed in full regalia to the Mansion House. This caused considerable interest from passers-by who were intrigued by the whole event!
