- Medallic Illustrations 2, published in 1885, states:
Extremely rare.
The obverse of this medal is cast and chased, and the reverse is engraved. The building represented was erected as an assembly-room for the families residing in the neighbourhood, and was situated on the west side of Epping Forest. It was afterwards converted into a dwelling-house, and formed part of a row of houses to which it gave the name of Assembly Row. This medal was probably a ticket of admission for the gentleman whose name and arms it bears, perhaps a subscriber or part proprietor of the Assembly House.
