Histórico
The Company received a charter from Edward III in 1327, although it may have existed as as fraternity for many years before this date. The Company received additional charters in 1449, 1567, 1640, 1685 and 1937. The Company is recorded hiring Brewers' Hall in 1422/3, but has occupied the site of the present hall in Basinghall Street since 1431. The hall was rebuilt between 1680-7, destroyed in 1940 and the present hall rebuilt in 1961. A girdler manufactured girdles (a belt worn round the waist to secure or confine the garments).
