History
Loriners are craftsmen who make bits and bridles for horses. A medieval guild existed and issued ordinances in 1260, although they did not receive a charter until 1711. The Company's Hall in Wood Street, known as "La Lorinie", is first mentioned in the 13th century. By the 18th century, it had been let out to a number of tenants and was eventually demolished.
