The Craft of Stonemasonry is alive today

Our Livery Company is at the forefront
of supporting that craft.

The Worshipful Company of Masons is number 30 in the order of precedence of the ancient Livery Companies of the City of London, as set by the Aldermen of the City in 1515.  Today there are over 110 and the number continues to grow.   The focus of our Livery Company is to preserve and encourage the use of natural stone in the built environment. This includes supporting the training of craftsmen as well as the preservation and appreciation of iconic historic stone buildings.

 

To commemorate the 550th anniversary of the Grant of Arms to the Company by King Edward IV in 1472 a silver statuette for the Company, to be known as “The Stonemason” was commissioned.
