Geschiedenis
The Saddler's Company received its first charter in 1272 and was incorporated in 1395. The company retains close links with saddlery, giving prizes at horse shows and show jumping events. Their Hall in Foster Lane dated from the 14th century but was destroyed in the 1666 Great Fire. It was subsequently rebuilt only to be damaged again in another fire. The repaired building was again damaged by bombing in 1940. The present Hall was opened in 1958.
