Archdeaconry of London

The Archdeaconry of London is the office of the Archdeacon of London, responsible for the administration of parishes within the City of London.
Court of Aldermen

The Court of Aldermen was composed of senior officials known as aldermen, who were each elected to represent one ward in the City of London. The lord mayor oversaw the Court of Aldermen and was himself an alderman. Historically, the Court of Aldermen was the primary administrative body for the Corporation of London; however, by the early modern period, many of its responsibilities had been transferred to the Court of Common Council. The Court of Aldermen exists today in a somewhat modified form. (TL)
Corporation of London

The Corporation of London was the municipal government for the City of London, made up of the Mayor of London, the Court of Aldermen, and the Court of Common Council. It exists today in largely the same form. (TL)

The Council of the Regency was established by James VI and I in 1617 to govern England while he visited Scotland. (CT)
Mayor of London

The Mayor (or Lord Mayor) of London is an office occupied annually by a new mayor. For the purposes of recording the authorship of mayoral proclamations, MoEML distinguishes between the office of the mayor and the person elected to the office for the year.

Church of England

The Church of England first came into being in 1534 when Henry VIII seceded from Rome and declared himself Supreme Head of the Church of England by the Act of Supremacy. Mary I repealed this act in 1555. In 1559, as part of what is now known as the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, parliament restored the act and made Elizabeth I Supreme Governor of the Church of England, a role still held by the British monarch today. The Church of England has been the official Christian church in England since 1559. Its doctrinal position was set out in the Thirty-Nine Articles of 1563 and finalized in 1571, at which point they were incorporated into the Book of Common Prayer that had governed the liturgical form of Church of England services since 1549.
Fraternitie of the Trinity

The Fraternity of the Trinity was, according to Stow, established in 1466 under Edward IV. Additionally, A History of the Country of London contends that the Fraternity was founded at the request of Elizabeth Woodville and must have been already in existence in about 1422, prior to its association with Leadenhall Chapel. From 1466, The Fraternity of the Holy Trinity was in order in Leadenhall Chapel until the brief reign of Edward VI when, under the counsel of Thomas Cranmer, the King signed the Abolition of the Chantries Act in 1547 (Colleges: Fraternity of the Holy Trinity).

The Black Friars (Dominicans)

The namesake of Blackfriars, the Dominican Order, or the Black Friars (named for their customary black mantle and hood), were an order of mendicant friars founded by Saint Dominic in France in 1216 (Dominican Order). Intent on spreading Catholicism, Saint Dominic sent members of his order to England, where, no later than 1247, the order had bases in Oxford and London (Jarrett 2–3). In the wake of the Reformation, members of the order fled the country or remained in England and either drifted into poverty, or else entered the ranks of the secular clergy (Jarrett 169).
The Grey Friars (Franciscans)

Founded by Saint Francis of Assisi in 1209, the Franciscan Friars, known as the Grey Friars because of their grey habits or cowls [Holder 66]), are a mendicant organization that arrived in England from Italy in 1224. Devoted to following the teachings of Saint Francis, the Franciscans occupied Greyfriars until Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538 (Kingsford 2).
