Geschiedenis
The first known reference to the Company is in 1284 although the earliest surviving ordinances date from 1391. Horners worked in horn making horn spoons, combs and so on. In 1476 the Bottlemakers (makers of leather bottles) joined with the Horners since both crafts were troubled by increasing competition from glassware. A note in the Company's ordinance book, Ms 6508, suggests the link was as early as 1368.
