Nondum metam
Nondum Metam is a motto contained on the Baptist Hicks Coat of Arms, which adorn the fine ashlar Almshouses, built in 1612 at a cost of £1000 by Baptist Hicks to complement the fine mansion, Campden House, that he built at the same time. He was a mercer at Cheapside in London, selling fine cloths to the ladies of Elizabethan and Jacobean courts. He was very wealthy, making more money by lending money to the same people.
Nondum Metam in Latin means something like – ‘I have not yet reached my goal’ or ‘I am not yet finished’. He went on to build a mansion in London, no longer standing but commemorated as Campden Hill Gardens in Notting Hill Gate.
