History
The Company has been in existence from at least 1365, receiving charters in 1611 and 1678. The Company also received a grant of arms in 1588.
The Company had a hall in Chequer Yard, Bush Lane from 1639. The hall was destroyed in the Great Fire and rebuilt on the same site. The hall was subsequently demolished in 1863 to make way for Cannon Street railway station.
