As the plaque explains, the Mercers' Maiden is a symbol used by the Mercers' Company as a form of logo, from the Middle Ages onwards (not being the subject of a formal grant of arms, it varies in form). It often appears on buildings owned by the Company, across the City and West End. This is one of the oldest examples.
