Administrative / biographical background: |
The Company probably dates from an ordinary of 12 November 1454, when it was decided that it would meet annually on St. Mathias' Day (24 February). This early ordinary was cited in that of 1660. The Company was often in disagreement with the Mason's Company and attempts were made to amend this [as at GU.BR/13] by drawing up agreements for 'cooperation between the two societies'. From about 1711, the Company's meeting place was Neville Tower. Prior to this they had met at White Friar Tower, in a room below that in which the Masons met. The Company owned property in Bird-in-the-Bush Yard and Silver Street, until 1826. |
