Histórico
The company existed from at least 1333 when it produced a book of ordinances, a copy of which is held by The National Archives. Further ordinances were drawn up in 1455, 1487 and 1607 (the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library has a copy of the 1607 ordinances, the original of which is retained by the company). The company received a grant of arms in 1466 (again the Manuscripts Section has a copy of the original at Carpenters' Hall) and charters in 1477, 1558, 1560, 1607, 1640, 1674, 1686 and 1944 (the Section has copies of the charters of 1560, 1607, 1674 and 1686, while the charters from 1607 are held at the Hall).
The Company's activities include management of the Building Crafts Training School, providing bursaries for carpentry education, and the running of almshouses in Godalming and Rustington Convalescent Home.
The company has used a hall on London Wall from 1429, which was bequeathed to the company in 1481. The hall was rebuilt in 1876-80 and 1960. The company, from 1622 until ca. 1625, also leased a timber wharf at Whitefriars (see Mss 4328 and 4333).
