The Framework May 2019 the Framework May 2019 The NewsletterK of the Worshipfulnitt Company of Frameworker Knitters Our Master sports his Robes in Clothworkers’ Hall Our new Master – Ian Grundy – installed that very afternoon, held his Installation Dinner at Clothworkers’ Hall on Friday 12th April, with the Light Cavalry of the Honourable Artillery Company providing a magnificent Carpet Guard. How appropriate his choice was, with the Clothworkers the last of the Great Twelve of livery companies, clothworkers being finishers of woven woollen cloth. The Hall itself has seen several incarnations, as it had fallen victim to both the Great Fire of London and the Blitz. Known for his love of Soraya Vermeulen all things nautical, Ian surprised us when his guest speaker – Captain Arthur Creighton – turned out to be a pilot of aircraft rather than of boats. Having begun his career in the RAF, Captain Creighton moved to Standing for Grace by our Clerk Monarch Airlines, where he spent 31 years and had had wide and varied experiences, which yielded a wealth of anecdotes with which to entertain us as he responded to the Toast to the Guests, which had been proposed by PM George Turner. After our first feast – the Dinner itself – where the chef displayed enormous imagination as well as skill, doing marvels with sea trout, guinea fowl and crème brûlée, we were entertained by a feast of tunes from Soraya Vermeulen (a harpist born in Leicestershire) who had also played as guests were moving upstairs to the Reception before Dinner. One had to marvel at the beautiful music she played and admire the effort she has to make to transport her instrument around London, the UK and Europe. The Master responded to the aeronautical toast to The Worshipful Company of Framework Knitters and the Master thereof, and was much praised that he had kept everything to a strict timetable, thus enabling Liverymen and guests alike to enjoy a Stirrup Cup afterwards whilst admiring the stunning surroundings of Clothworkers’ Hall.

    Committee(s) Dated: Standards Committee 5 October 2018 Subject: Public Declaration of Gifts and Hospitality in relation to the special provision made for the Lord Mayor and Shrevialty as Ceremonial Office Holders Report of: For Information Executive Director, Mansion House and Central Criminal Court Report Author: Vic Annells Summary To update the Committee on the Lord Mayor and Shrieval declaration of gifts and hospitality for the year 2017/18. Recommendation(s) Members are asked to note the report. Main Report Background 1. Following the meeting of Standards Committee on 20th February 2015 it was agreed that as of 1st April 2015 gifts and hospitality which breached the threshold, as applied to all Members, would be declared unless they fell within the caveat outlined within the previous report of ‘special provision’ for the Lord Mayor and Shrievalty as ceremonial office holders. 2. The last report on gifts and hospitality was made to the Committee at its meeting in October 2017. Current Position 3. Since the last report, the Lord Mayor has made declarations at broadly three monthly intervals, declaring gifts and hospitality publicly via the internet page - http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/about-the-city/the-lord-mayor/Pages/default.aspx The gifts and hospitality are detailed on separate documents. 4. Members will be aware that the Shrievalty commences in September, therefore, the attached appendices summarise the Shrieval year of Alderman and Sheriff Timothy Hailes and Sheriff Neil Redcliffe. 5. The Lord Mayor and Shrievalty have no separate declarations to make to the Committee under the special provision. All gifts and hospitality have been declared in the attached appendices.

  • Research Paper Women in the Livery and High Civic Office in the City
    Women in the Livery and High Civic Office in the City City of London Women in the Livery and High Civic Office in the City including Lady Masters Association and City Consorts A Research Paper by Erica Stary, LLM, FTII, ATT, TEP Past Master Tax Adviser, Past Master Plumber and Upper Warden Elect Tin Plate Workers alias Wire Workers © Erica Stary January 2021 Women in the Livery and High Civic Office in the City FOREWORD It’s a privilege to be asked to write the foreword for this new paper on Women in the Civic City and Livery. What started as a short research project in lockdown on the Lady Masters Association has turned into a comprehensive and informative paper on how the role of women in City Civic life has evolved since the Middle Ages. It’s easy to forget how quickly the livery has changed in this regard. In 1983, when the first female Lord Mayor, Dame Mary Donaldson was elected, more than half of the livery companies were not open to women on equal terms as men. At the turn of the millennium, more than a quarter still did not allow equal admittance. Now, at long last, in 2020, all City livery companies and guilds accept women on equal terms with men, making this a timely moment for this research paper to be published. As the paper reminds us, women have had a long and significant impact in civic and livery life in the last thousand years. Many Medieval guilds were reliant on the skilled work of women and many buildings only came into the possession of the Livery or the City Corporation, such as the former Bricklayers Hall or Columbia Market, through acquisitions and donations from women.
