Background

History

The cloth workers' guilds that met at Tuckers Hall since its construction were incorporated into the Incorporation of Weavers, Fullers and Shearmen by Royal Charter in 1620. The building has a distinctive Gothic street frontage of mainly Heavitree stone. The ground floor was used as a school from 1675 to 1841. The Hall was then let to the Freemasons from 1842 to 1875. The lower hall was then let for use as a Sunday school for a peppercorn rent.
