Worshipful Company of Weavers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Worshipful Company of Weavers is the most ancient of the Livery Companies in the City of London. It existed in the year 1130, and was perhaps formed earlier. The Company received a Royal Charter in 1180. At present, the Company retains a connection to textiles through its contributions to the textile industry. It has, however, like most other Livery Companies, evolved into a charitable institution rather than remaining a trade association.
The Company ranks forty-second in the order of precedence of the Livery Companies. Its motto is Weave Trust With Trust.
