About This Book

The lecture describes a distinct quay on the Thames where German merchants maintained a Hanseatic factory and staple, noting its architecture and setting amid London's warehouses. It traces the community's origins from early Anglo-Saxon contacts through successive royal charters that granted trading privileges and property rights. The narrative follows the accession of merchants from various German towns, their legal immunities and communal structures, and includes archival family anecdotes that illustrate immigration and integration. Emphasis falls on the legal, dynastic, and commercial ties between England and northern German towns that shaped the Steelyard's development.
