William Christie, Astronomer Royal
RH says..... The Fishmonger's Company is one of the oldest of London's City Guilds, with its Hall near London Bridge. Christie was evidently there in formal capacity - a representative of science and learning - but also for social reasons. The Archbishop of Canterbury at this date was Edward White Benson, who was known as a public school headmaster before his church career took off.
