Arthur Stanley Grant was a solicitor who served as the Clerk for Cripplegate Within and Without from the 1930's until his death in 1967.  He was in office during the Mayoralty of Sir Harry Twyford in 1937.  

He joined Cripplegate Ward Club in the years after the First World War and became Honorary Secretary in 1923.  He held this post, being re-elected each year for many years.  In January 1933, following ten years service as Secretary the Club presented him with a silver salver.  It is unclear when he gave up the post but probably as he took the chair as Master in 1939.

Mr Grant was for some years the Clerk to the Worshipful Company of Pewterers.  After the war, Pewterers' Hall was re-built, but on a new site which lay within the boundary of Cripplegate Ward.  The association of Mr Grant and some other Liverymen of the Pewterers' Company with the Ward Club ensured close ties of friendship between the two institutions.  Many times the Ward Club was allowed to hold its functions in the splendid new Pewterers' Hall.  These feelings of goodwill were much reinforced during later years by Mr Charles Grant, and continue to this day. 

During his time with the Ward Club he introduced his son Charles Gamble Grant as a member.   Mr Charles Grant, also a solicitor, moved in his father's footsteps, was Clerk to the Pewterers' Company and also became Master in 1977.  His details can be read from the link in the Masters Roll.
