A group of English merchants rented a property in Rua do Alecrim as premises for a British Club (“A Assembleia dos Ingleses”). Among the signatories of the rental agreement were the Stephens brothers of the Marinha Grande glass factory. In 1789 a large party in honour of King George III was held here with 600 guests. The Club lasted until 1810.
