From the Oxford English Dictionary
The Worshipful Company of Founders was formed in 1365 as a medieval guild; promoting the interests of its members and ensuring high standards of quality and workmanship in articles of bronze and brass. More than 650 years later we continue to support research and education in related disciplines and industries, and support the City of London. We have an incredibly wide variety of members, and continue to welcome new ones.
Charity - The very roots of the Founders’ Company are embedded in a real concern for helping those in need and that is one of the fundamental reasons why the Company continues to exist.
Founders’ Hall - The Company of Founders owns a unique Livery Hall in the City of London, neighbouring London's oldest extant church, a stone's throw away from some of the City's greatest tourist attractions and historic wonders.
Located on Cloth Fair, one of London's most historic streets, we are an easy walk from Farringdon, Barbican and St Paul’s stations.
We are an event space for hire all year round, for wedding banquets, conferences, lectures, filming, livery dinners, awards evenings, conferences and much more.
