Geschiedenis
The Company has been in existence from at least 1371 when it separated from the Bowyers' Company (bowyers make bows, while fletchers make arrows). In 1467 the Company received a grant of arms. The Company was founded by prescription and not by grant of charter. By the beginning of the 16th century the Company had a hall in St Mary Axe. Later references to the hall are not complete, but it appears to have been rented out from the 18th century. In 1893 the hall burnt down and was rebuilt. This hall was sold in 1933.
