Post-Medieval
Property mark
Property marks were displayed on buildings in the City of London owned by parish churches, the Corporation of London, livery companies and other charitable institutions. Personal marks were also displayed indicating that the property was left in trust by a private individual, usually to the parish for philanthropic purposes.
Marks were typically attached in pairs, one at either end of the building's façade. They were also fixed to the side and back elevations of buildings.
This mark was originally displayed on property owned by Morden College, a charity founded in 1695 to house former merchants who had fallen on hard times.
