Worshipful Company of Needlemakers
The
Worshipful Company of Needlemakers is one of the
Livery Companies of the
City of London. The Needlemakers received a
Royal Charter in 1656. The Company gradually lost its role as a trade association, now acting as a supporter of the needle industry instead. Like a majority of Livery Companies, the Needlemakers' Company is also a charitable institution.
The Needlemakers' Company ranks sixty-fifth in the
order of precedence for Livery Companies. Its motto is
They Sewed Fig Leaves Together and Made Themselves Aprons.
