On 12th September sixteen members, partners and guests travelled up to London to enjoy a very interesting trip to the home of the Armourers and Brasiers livery company. One of the 111 livery companies in the City of London, ranked 22, the Armourers has existed since 1322 when 26 helm-makers grouped together to control standards in the craft of armour-making. When effective musketry made armour redundant in the 1600s, its members turned to brass and copper work (hence 'Brasiers'). The livery hall site in Coleman Street has been occupied by the company uninterruptedly since 1346.

On Thursday 28th May, one of the hottest days of the year, a group of Probus members and partners took the train to London and enjoyed a tour of another of the Great twelve Livery companies of the City of London – the Salters’ Company, ranked number nine in the order of precedence. Salters’ Hall is however very different from the livery halls we have visited so far. Rather than a medieval building it is a bold post-war design by Sir Basil Spence completed in 1976 and Grade II-listed in 2010.
