History
There is a reference to a guild of pattenmakers in 1469. A patten was a type of undershoe which was fastened underneath a shoe with a leather strap. A charter was first granted to the company in 1670, and in 1717 it was granted a livery. The trade died out in the 19th century following the paving of streets.
