The roundel is made up of a modern border containing a heraldic quarry of c1600 in which is placed a cartouche of the Royal Arms. Prior to 1962 this panel was located over the front door of the main office where it had been moved after the old Surrey House was dismantled at the turn of the twentieth century

The Ante room
This beautiful room has had many uses at one time being the office of the Society's Chief Solicitor.Today it is more likely to be used for entertaining.
It is a flamboyant room which makes it very easy to overlook one of its most important features, namely the heraldic stained glass some of which originates from 16th century Surrey House.
In 1962 it was fully restored by G King & Sons, under the supervision of Dennis King.
