Committee Room
The oak panelled Committee Room is home to the earliest known portraits of an English family which is neither royal nor noble. They are a part of a series of 14 portraits of the Smythe family painted around 1579–80. Three of the nine portraits are among the Company’s most important benefactors: Alice Smythe, a daughter of Sir Andrew Judd who founded Tonbridge School, her husband ‘Customer’ Thomas Smythe, and their son Sir Thomas Smythe, a founding governor of the East India Company.
