Carpenters' Company

Categories: Liveries & Guilds

The company has been in existence from at least 1271, and received its royal charter in 1477. In common with most other livery companies, it no longer has a role as an association of tradesmen and craftsmen, but acts as a charitable institution supporting education in wood-related fields.
