Caxton Hall, a historic venue in London, has witnessed significant events throughout its existence. One such event was the arrest of the Suffragette Lancashire Lass, who fearlessly fought for women's rights. The hall proudly displays a member certificate from the London Society of Compositors, showcasing their dedication to quality printing and color lithography. The suffragettes also made their mark by chalking pavement during a powerful deputation outside Caxton Hall. This act of defiance symbolized their unwavering determination to achieve equality. As we delve into history further, we encounter an intriguing woodcut from Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales adorning the Prologue: The Knight. This artistic masterpiece adds depth and character to Caxton Hall's ambiance. The Caxton Window is another captivating feature that catches one's eye. It tells tales of knights and chivalry, reflecting upon the enduring legacy of Sir William Caxton himself. Speaking of Sir William Caxton, his connection with Edward IV is worth mentioning. Their partnership revolutionized printing in England and paved the way for literary advancements that endure till this day. Moving away from historical artifacts within Caxton Hall, we come across a poster advertising Samuel Cody's patriotic lecture in London. Such events showcased patriotism at its finest while bringing people together under one roof. In contrast to these grand spectacles, Wheeler & Wilson's Sewing Machines advert cover reminds us of everyday life during that era – where practicality met innovation through sewing machines designed for efficiency and precision. Lastly, let us not forget about William Caxton himself – an English merchant turned diplomat turned writer turned printer. His contributions have left an indelible mark on literature and communication as we know it today. Bringing our journey back to modern times brings us to Euan Rabagliati marrying Mrs Beatrix Gandolfi-Hornyold at none other than Caxton Hall.
