2022: A London Inheritance drew our attention to the stamp and the text below.  Very few plaques credit their creators, so this on a City of London plaque is extremely rare.

EC1, Aldersgate Street, 10

The bronze plaque is at the entrance to the building which is the third bay to the right of these two blue plaques.
