Barber’ Hall was rebuilt after it was destroyed after WW II 30’ E of its original site, which has been the subject of an archaeological find:
Barber Surgeons’ Hall Gardens, London Wall, EC2 (BSG97)
TQ 3228 8114
Barber Surgeons’ Hall Gardens, London Wall, EC2 TQ 3228 8114 MoLAS (W McCann) ground penetrating radar survey Mar 1997 Barber Surgeons BSG97
A survey has identified sub-surface anomalous areas which could be consistent with the survival of some remains from the 17th-c Anatomy Theatre designed by Inigo Jones [the sole part of the Hall to survive the Fire of 1666]. Additional anomalous areas may be associated with other structures, particularly that of the City wall at the W edge of the area.
