An organisation of glaziers was mentioned as early as 1368. The first charter was granted in 1637. The first mention of a hall (in Five Foot Lane off Queen Victoria Street) is dated 1601. It was destroyed in the Great Fire and not rebuilt. A new hall was opened in 1978. The modern Company gives prizes for stained glass design and assists churches with the repair of their stained glass.
