		The Company also played a part in the restoration of Charles II, General Monck being entertained to a banquet at Grocers’ Hall when the freedom of the City and the Company was conferred upon him, while the Lord Mayor, Sir Thomas Alleyn, who welcomed the King on his return, was a member of the Company.
