History
The company received its charter of incorporation in 1571, but appears to have been in existence from at least the 14th century as the Guild of St James Garlickhithe. Other than title deeds, however, no records of the guild or company survive before the charter of incorporation in 1571. Joiners make wooden glued joints; while ceilers are wood carvers. The modern Company supports the Building Crafts Training School.
