King Charles (or Phoenix) Tower II

The phoenix carving on the front of the tower is the symbol of the Painters, Glaziers, Embroiderers and Stationers Company, who used to hold their meetings in the upper storey of the tower (there can't have been many of them, it's pretty small up there). The tower was strewn with rushes and decorated with garlands of flowers on the Festival of St Luke in October, for the annual meeting of the guild.
