The City of London's Medieval & Modern Guilds
When William the Conqueror faced the merchant and commercial powers and societies of London 1000 years ago, he let them keep their already established rights and laws. The guilds start to get royal charters as early as the 13th century, 110 of them developing all the way up to the present day, and they still hold many of their ancient powers of trade and self-governance. We'll explore how they became established, how they were and are organised, how they affected society, how you join, some of their ongoing roles and workings, and how they tie in to the running of the City of London as an ancient region in itself right in the heart of Greater London. Fascinating stuff!
