About us

Our membership is not drawn from any particular professions or walks of life; we enjoy the variety of backgrounds that our members bring. Members of the Company join as Freemen and may subsequently become Liverymen. The Company organises approximately one event a month for its members, including formal dinners,  informal supper evenings and the occasional longbow competition or other event. Membership is  normally through introduction by an existing member.

The Master and Wardens, uniquely in the City, serve for two-year terms.

Current Officers:

Master – Sir David Wootton
Upper Warden – Mr Mark Elliott
Renter Warden – Mr William Charnley
Immediate Past Master – Mr Nigel Heilpern
