Geschiedenis
A guild of plasterers was first incorporated by charter in 1501. Plasterers were craftsmen who plastered the exterior of buildings with a material comprised of lime, gypsum, hay and straw, often creating elaborate and ornamental patterns, known as pargetting.
In 1545 a member of the Company, William Elder, left a house in Addle Street to be used as a Hall. The current Hall, built in 1972, is in London Wall.
