Site: George Jeffreys (1 memorial)
E1, Wapping High Street, 62, The Town of Ramsgate Public House
This lost plaque was located to the side of the pub's entrance.
When James II fled the country, Jeffreys stayed in London until the last moment, being the only high legal authority in James's abandoned kingdom to perform political duties. When William III's troops approached London, Jeffreys, reputedly disguised as a sailor, tried to flee and follow the King abroad. He was captured in this pub.
