About Us

The Worshipful Company of Bowyers is one of the older and smaller of the City of London’s livery companies. We take pride in our history, our charitable activity and we provide a convivial sociable environment for our members.

Our History

The Company dates back to the 14th century, when longbow making was first established in London on a large scale in the 1330s.  The Bowyers’ Company motto to this day is ‘Crecy, Poitiers, Agincourt’.
