The Skinners’ Company
The Worshipful Company of Skinners
The Skinners’ Company was one of the
twelve great companies of London. Since 1484, the Skinners and the Merchant Taylors have alternated precedence
annually; the Skinners are now sixth in
precedence in even years and seventh in odd years, changing precedence at Easter.
The Worshipful Company of Skinners is
still active and maintains a website at http://www.theskinnerscompany.org.uk/ that includes a history.
