The Worshipful Company of Constructors Incorporated by Royal Charter COMPANY YEARBOOK AND MEMBERSHIP October 2019 – September 2020 A message from the Master Dear Fellow Constructors I am delighted to have been elected as Master for the coming year and I look forward to seeing you at one or more of the events arranged during the year. In addition to the regular lunches at the Ironmongers’ Hall, I am arranging a number of informal events during the year with a legal theme, including visits to the Inns of Court and Courts. I shall also be continuing with the international theme and have arranged a Master’s Weekend in Singapore in April which, as well as being an enjoyable weekend, will enable us to foster commercial links there. My second Master’s Weekend in May will take place in Mimizan, South West France. It has historic connections with the UK and being close to Bordeaux will provide an opportunity to taste local food and wine and relax. There will then be a Garden Party at our house in Kent in June, open to all constructors, family and friends, including children. My final Master’s Weekend will then be held in Durham, staying close by the Cathedral. It will include sightseeing there and in Bishop Auckland as well as attendance at a highly rated historical pageant. Full details of these and all the other events will be on the website. I and the Mistress, Barbara, look forward to meeting you during this year. We want to ensure that you continue to value your connection with this modern, thriving and forward thinking Livery Company. With very best wishes Vivian Ramsey 1 CONTENTS MASTER, WARDENS & CLERK PHOTOS 2 PROGRAMME 2019/2020 5 MASTER & WARDENS, 10 CLERK, CHAPLAIN & BEADLE 12 PAST MASTERS 13 COURT ASSISTANTS 20 HONORARY COURT ASSISTANTS 24 STANDING COMMITTEES 29 THE LIVERY 30 THE FREEDOM 62 HONORARY FREEMEN 106 HONORARY MEMBERS 108 YEOMEN 112 APPRENTICES 118 COMPANIONS 120 AETERNUM VALE 122 FOUNDER MEMBERS 123 PAST MASTERS 124 PAST CLERKS 126 THE COMPANY SILVER 127 DRESS CODE FOR COMPANY FUNCTIONS 129 COVENANTED GIVING 130 QUALIFICATIONS FOR LIVERY 131 COMPANY GRACE 132 LIVERY COMPANIES 133 THE ORIGIN OF THE CITY OF LONDON LIVERY COMPANIES 133 THE LIVERY COMPANIES 134 IN ORDER OF PRECEDENCE 134 CITY COMPANIES WITHOUT LIVERY 138 INDUSTRY PARTNERS AND SPONSORS 139 MEMBERS BY PROFESSION 141 INDEX 144 2 MASTER AND WARDENS 2019/2020 Sir Vivian Ramsey The Master Arthur Seymour Senior Warden David Sheehan Middle Warden 3 Terry Withers Renter Warden Derek Farrow Junior Warden Richard (Kim) Tyrrell The Clerk 4 Programme. 2019/2020 Date Time Event/Activity Venue 2019 12 Sep Committees Plaisterers’ 1100 Election Hall 1330 Social & Events 1445 Scholarship & Awards 1600 Sponsorship 17 Sep 1430 Election Court Wax 1700 Common Hall Chandlers’ 1800 Reception Hall 2 Oct 1100 Election of Lord Guildhall Mayor 1230 Lunch Painters’ Hall 1600 Rehearsal St. Lawrence Installation Jewry 10 Oct 1730 Installation St Lawrence Jewry 1830 Installation Grocers’ Hall Dinner 17 Oct Committees Plaisterers’ 1100 Election Hall 1310 GP 4 Nov 0930 City St Paul’s Remembrance Cathedral Service Gardens 8 Nov 1500 Silent Ceremony Guildhall 9 Nov 1000 Lord Mayor’s St Mary-le- Show Bow 14 Nov Committees Plaisterers’ 1330 Merchandising Hall & Events 1445 Scholarships and Awards 1600 Fundraising 15-17 Team Build Nov weekend 5 Programme. 2019/2020 Date Time Event/Activity Venue 2 Dec 1230 Constructors’ Ironmongers’ Christmas Hall lunch 12 Dec 1530 Court Wax Chandlers’ Hall 1830 Carol Service St Lawrence Jewry 1930 Reception Guildhall Club 2020 22 Jan Committees Plaisterers’ 1100 Election Hall 1310 GP TBC SIDS TBC Scholarship 22 Jan Committees TBA 1330 Merchandising & Events 1445 Scholarships and Awards 1600 Fundraising 24 Jan Committees Plaisterers’ 1100 Election Hall 1310 GP 3 Feb 1230 Constructors’ Ironmongers’ lunch Hall 12 Feb 1500 Court Merchant 1815 Livery & Awards Taylors’ Hall Dinner 13 Feb Committee Plaisterers’ 1100 Privileges Hall 1300 Past Masters’ & Guildhall Senior Members’ Club lunch 6 Programme. 2019/2020 Date Time Event/Activity Venue 25 Feb 1200 Pancake Race Guildhall Yard 5 Mar Committees TBA 1700 Election 1900 GP OC Master’s Informal Dinner For GP 27 Mar 1100 United Guilds St Pauls Service Cathedral Lunch Painters’ Hall 3-5 Masters’ Singapore Apr Weekend 6 Apr 1230 Constructors’ Ironmongers’ Lunch Hall 16 Apr Committees 1100 Election Plaisterers’ 1330 Social & Events Hall 1445 Scholarships & Awards 1600 Fundraising 7 May 1100 Court Plaisterers’ 1300 Companions’ Hall lunch 29-31 Master’s ‘At Mimizan, May Home’ France 1 Jun 1230 Constructors’ Ironmongers’ Lunch Hall 3 Jun Committees Plaisterers’ 1100 Election Hall 1310 GP 4 Jun 1830 Sir Christopher Middle Temple Wren Banquet Hall 21 Jun Master’s Garden Swanley Party Village, Kent 6-8 Jun Ironbridge Weekend 7 Programme. 2019/2020 Date Time Event/Activity Venue 23 Jun Committees Plaisterers’ 1100 Privileges Hall 1310 Charity 24 Jun 1100 Election of Guildhall Sheriffs 1230 Lunch Painters’ Hall 2 Jul 1030 Court Skinners’ Hall Court & Livery lunch 16-19 Master’s Durham Jul Weekend 8 Jul Constructors Croham Hurst Golf Day GC 1 Sep 1230 Constructors’ Ironmongers’ Lunch Hall TBA Charity Bike ride London to Amsterdam 9 Sep Committees Plaisterers’ 1100 Election Hall 1330 Social & Events 1445 Scholarships and Awards 1600 Fundraising 17 Sep 1500 Court TBA 1700 Common Hall Reception TBA 1100 Election of Guildhall Lord Mayor Lunch Painters’ Hall 5 Oct 1230 Constructors Ironmongers’ Lunch Hall 8 Programme. 2019/2020 Date Time Event/Activity Venue 2 Oct 1100 Election of Lord Guildhall Mayor 1230 Lunch Painters’ Hall 8 Oct 1730 Installation St Lawrence Jewry 1830 Installation Drapers’ Hall Dinner Notes • Dates and events listed are correct at time of going to press.
