[The Goldsmiths’ Company, London Metropolitan Archives, The Drapers' Company]
A livery company is a trade guild that originated in medieval London. They were usually formed to regulate specific trades, maintain standards, and protect the interests of their members. Over time, livery companies became influential in London's civic life, taking on charitable, educational, and ceremonial roles. In 1516 there were 48 companies in total, and these were given an order of precedence by the Lord Mayor of London, based on their levels of wealth and influence.
