Historique
An existing fraternity of tylers and bricklayers was incorporated by charter in 1568 and regulated by ordinances issued in 1570-1. Tilers laid roof, floor and wall tiles, which later became known as bricks.
In 1832 the Company decided to raise a subscription to pay for the building of almshouses. A plot of land was bought on King Henry's Walk, Balls Pond Road, Islington and eight dwellings were constructed. The almshouses (for liverymen of the Company or their widows) were opened in 1836.
