Historia
The Turners' Company had jurisdiction over producers of all articles of wood turned on lathes, such as bowls, chair legs, and ornaments. They were closely connected with the trade of innkeeping, providing wooden measures and drinking vessels. A charter was first granted to the Company in 1604.
By 1591, the Company had a Hall in Philpot Lane, which was destroyed in the Great Fire, rebuilt shortly afterwards, and finally surrendered in 1737. They later occupied a Hall on College Hill.
