EUCL visit to Clothworkers’ Hall Visit Clothworkers’ Hall for a private 90 minute tour with the Edinburgh University Club of London. Founded by Royal Charter in 1528, the original purpose of the Clothworkers’ Company was to protect its members and promote the craft of cloth-finishing within the City of London. The Company archives contain a rich collection of historic documents dating from about 1480 onwards. The Clothworkers’ very special collection of tapestries, plate, clocks and other works of art can be seen at the Hall. This collection has been created, developed and preserved over the centuries despite the loss of previous halls to the Great Fire of London and the devastation of the Blitz. As one of the Great Twelve Livery Companies, the Clothworkers enjoy a close bond of friendship and co-operation with other Livery Companies and the City Corporation. The Company takes pride in performing its civic obligations and contributing to the living history of London.
