Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers

The Armourers' Guild was established in 1322; it received a royal charter in 1453.

[2] The company does support the metallurgy industry, but does not retain a close association with its original trade, as is the case with a majority of livery companies.

The company is based at Armourers' Hall, situated on the corner of Coleman Street and London Wall, and has occupied this same site since 1346.

The hall was one of the very few to escape destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666.

On 29 December 1940, during a major blitz on London, the surrounding area was devastated, but again the hall survived.
