September 2024: Visit to the Armourers Hall and City Pub lunch
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.
