.
The date of its See also:original See also:foundation is not known
.
An See also:ancient See also:crypt remains, but the hall has otherwise undergone much alteration
.
It was rebuilt in 1411, beautified by the munificence of successive officials, damaged in the See also:Great See also:Fire of 1666, and restored in 1789 by See also:George See also:Dance; while the hall was again restored, with a new roof, in 1870
.
This See also:fine chamber, 152 ft. in length, is the See also:scene of the See also:state banquets and entertainments of the corporation, and of the municipal meetings " in See also:common hall." The See also:building also contains a See also:council chamber and various See also:court rooms, with a splendid library, open to the public, a museum and See also:art See also:gallery adjoining
.
The hall contains several monuments and two See also:giant figures of See also:wood,
known as See also:Gog and Magog
.
These were set up in 1708, but the he knew to be both hopeless and impolitic
.
At last, in See also:March 1782, he insisted on resigning after the See also:news of See also:Cornwallis's surrender at See also:Yorktown, and no See also:man See also:left See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")

He had been well rewarded for his assistance to the See also:- KING

Lord North did not remain See also:long out of office, but in See also:April 1783 formed his famous See also:coalition with his old subordinate, C
.
J
.
See also:Fox (q.v.), and became secretary of state with him under the nominal premiership of the See also:duke of See also:Portland
.
He was probably urged to this coalition with his old opponent by a See also:desire to show that he could See also:act independently of the king, and was not a See also:mere royal See also:mouthpiece
.
The coalition See also:ministry went out of office on Fox's See also:India See also:Bill in See also:December 1783, and Lord North, who was losing his sight, then finally gave up See also:political ambition
.
He played, when quite See also:blind, a somewhat important See also:part in the debates on the Regency Bill in 1789, and in the next See also:year succeeded his See also:father as See also:earl of See also:Guilford
.
He did not long survive his See also:elevation, and died peacefully on the 5th of See also:August 1792
.
It is impossible to consider Lord North a great statesman, but he was a most good-tempered and humorous member of the House of Commons
.

time of unexampled party feeling he won the esteem and almost the love of his most See also:bitter opponents
.
See also:Burke finely sums up his See also:character in his See also:Letter to a See also:Noble Lord: " He was a man of admirable parts, of See also:general knowledge, of a versatile understanding, fitted for every sort of business; of See also:infinite wit and pleasantry, of a delightful See also:temper, and with a mind most disinterested
.
But it would be only to degrade myself," he continues, " by a weak adulation, and not to honour the memory of a great man, to deny that he wanted something of the vigilance and spirit of command which the times required."
