Worshipful Company of Paviors
Appearance
The Worshipful Company of Paviors is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The Paviors were formed at some point prior to 1276; they were responsible for the paving and maintenance of London's streets. It received a Royal Charter in 1672. The Company is no longer a trade association for, and a regulator of, London's road constructors, instead acting as a charitable institution; for example, it has sponsored a road making display at Amberley Working Museum.
The Paviors' Company ranks fifty-sixth in the order of precedence for Livery Companies. Its motto is God Can Raise to Abraham Children of Stone.
In 1989, HMS Argyll, a Royal Navy warship sponsored by the Company was launched by Lady (Wendy) Levene.[1]
