Broderers Company - 48
Broderers were involved with embroidery and the art of needlework. The dissolution of the Monastaries heralded a decline in demand for gold and silver guilt thread work for church embroideries.
There was a brief revival in Elizabethan England, when their royal Charter was granted.
Currently, membership is only open to men.
Their hall once stood in Gutter Lane until destroyed in the Blitz. They now share a hall with the Mercers.
