An eccentric Elizabethan fireplace, carved with twining serpents, fruit and curious beasts, dominates the Old Chancery, which is used as an anteroom to either the Chapter Hall or the Council Chamber, its window seat offering a quiet spot for guests to pause between events.

The Old Chancery also contains a selection of the Museum's renowned collection of silver, and stained glass windows set with Order symbols.

It is the perfect space for greeting guests, registering delegates or enjoying pre-prandial drinks.
