About the author
Born in London in 1840, T. C. Noble — Theophilus Charles Noble — was an English antiquarian and non-fiction writer. He is remembered for books that explored the history of London and its institutions, including The Lord Mayor of London, Memorials of Temple Bar, and A Brief History of the Worshipful Company of Ironmongers, London, A.D. 1351–1889.
Noble’s work drew heavily on archives, public records, and older civic traditions. That made his writing especially useful for readers interested in how London’s government, guilds, and landmarks developed over time.
He died on March 1, 1890. A readily verifiable portrait image was not found from the sources checked, so no profile image is included here.
