Description
Fig. 2 - This image depicts the open London Guildhall chest, in which the three hidden keyholes under the padlocks are shown. There is also an inscription in the chest which references John Barnes, the Mayor of London who supposedly gifted the chest to the Guildhall, although his dates do not match the chest’s appearance in 1427.
