Jump to: navigation, search

The Worshipful Company of Pewterers is one of the 108 Livery Companies of the City of London. It ranks 16th in the order of precedence of the companies and has existed since at least 1348.

While pewter is no longer the major industry it once was, the pewterers continue to support pewter craftsmen, particularly through events such as Pewter Live.

The Company has been based at Pewterers' Hall on Oat Lane, near London Wall, since 1961. It is the third livery hall they have occupied, the first having been destroyed in the Great Fire of London and the second in a fire in 1840.
