Proof of earlier As a culminating proof that the Caroline
Charter. Charter was not the first and only Royal
grant held by the Horners’ Company, we have but to turn to the
Correspondence recently found in the British Museum, and it will at
once become evident that the Horners were possessed of a Charter
long before 1638. Mr. Carmarthen, writing to Lord Burghley in 1597,
says:
“The question resteth upon one word cheefly in thyr Charter,” etc.,
or, again, “By the king’s grant in theyre Charter,” etc. This may allude
to a Charter granted by Edward IV, or, as seems probable, that in
reality the “Cornuarii” were well established as a legalized Gild
certainly not later than Richard II, and, in all probability, owned
Charters of a much earlier date, which would be in the nature of
special grants to the Guardian of the Gild, held by him, and would
therefore at a later period not necessarily be in the possession of the
Company. Moreover, on 30th of March, 1815, the Clerk of the
Company stated, as appears by an entry in the Minute Book, that he
had opened and examined the chest containing the documents
relating to the Company, and he found that it contained ... “also the
original Charters granted for establishing the Company,” etc. Had
there been but one, it is improbable that the word would have been
used in the plural.
Thus it will be seen that the Charter of 1638 is but an instrument
reiterating and once more legalizing the acts which had been in
vogue amongst the Horners for a very considerable time.
1638. Charter of The Charter of Charles I provides that the
Charles I. Horners, Freemen of the City of London and
Westminster and liberties and suburbs of the same, are incorporated
by the name of “Master, Wardens, Assistants, and Fellowship of the
Mistery of Horners of the City of London,” with power to purchase
and hold freehold and leasehold estates of every kind and all
manner of goods and chattels, and to grant, alien and dispose of the
same, and by the same name to plead and be impleaded, and to
have a Common Seal.
One of the said Fellowship is to be chosen the Master, two to be
chosen Wardens, and ten or more of the Fellowship, Assistants. The
Master, Wardens and Assistants, or the greater part of them,
whereof the Master and one of the Wardens are always to be two,
have power to make and alter, amend or make new, “reasonable
laws and constitutions touching the Trade, Art, or Mistery, and for
punishment and reformation of abuses, wrongful practices and
misdemeaners, and for defraying the charges of maintaining and
continuing the Corporation, and after what order they shall demean
themselves in their office mistery and work.” And to impose such
fines, amerciaments, or other lawful punishments upon all offenders
as shall seem necessary; such fines, etc., to be raised for their own
uses.
Robert Baker was appointed the first Master to continue in office
until the 2nd February, 1638, and until another person was elected
in his place. Christopher Peele and Thomas White were appointed
first Wardens under the new rules and Charter. Ten brethren were
appointed the first Assistants during their lives or good behaviour,
and the Master and Wardens were upon retirement from their
offices, to be assistants in the same manner. The Master and
Wardens were to take oaths before the Master in Chancery to “well
and truly execute their offices” before entering upon the same.
Power is given to the Master, Wardens, Assistants, and Fellowship to
meet in their Common Hall or other convenient place upon the 2nd
of February, if it be not Sunday, and if it be Sunday, then upon the
next day after, to elect a Master and Two Wardens for the ensuing
year; and they are to take their oaths of office before the late Master
and Wardens, or two of them; and like power of election is given
until the next 2nd of February in case of the death or removal for
misbehaviour of any Master or Warden during his term of office, and
also in like manner to elect an Assistant on the death or removal of
any of the Assistants appointed by the Charter.
Power is given of oversight, rule and search of all persons
occupying, importing, exporting, or using the art or mistery of
Horners within the cities of London and Westminster, and the
liberties and precincts thereof, and of all manner of wares thereunto
appertaining, to the intent that all delinquents may be discovered
and punished. They may purchase for ever one house for a Hall not
exceeding the yearly value of £40.
They are to elect one honest and discreet person as Clerk, and also
appoint a Beadle.
Exercise of Rights, The control continuously exercised by the
1689. Company over the trade, and finally
secured to them in the Charter just
Buying Horns, 1739.
mentioned, has never been abandoned,
though at any rate for the present it is not exercised. In the first
year of William III (1689) the Horners’ Company successfully
prosecuted a Comb maker for pressing horns, he not being a
“Horner.” Maitland, who published his work in 1739, tells us that the
Company “had of late appointed diverse of their members to attend
the market of Leadenhall & those of the neighbouring counties for
the buying of horns” to be sent to their common warehouse in
Wentworth Street, Spitalfields, where they were made up into lots
and divided amongst the several members, not omitting the widows
and orphans, who also received their several shares.
Last legal claim, The last occasion on which the Court
1745. exercised its rights against persons
infringing its monopoly was in the year
Ceases as a trading
body. 1745. Having ascertained that certain
persons not free of the Company had
bought rough horns and pressed them into lantern leaves, and were
disposing of them within the City of London and twenty-four miles
distant, proceedings were ordered to be taken against them, and, as
a result, the Company successfully established its right to the
monopoly in the manufacture of horn work in the City of London and
twenty-four miles round. From that time forward the trade in horn
declined, and during the second half of the eighteenth century, the
Company finally ceased to be a trading community. Thus ended the
operative existence of a Craft Gild which from “time out of mind”
until the present moment has had a useful and honourable career.
The Horners’ Company has been practically contemporaneous with
the history of England, and is, it may be believed, still destined to
serve many a useful purpose.
Property. In spite of legal incorporation the property
of the Company has, from time to time,
been vested in certain trustees, the last trust deed being dated
1756.
Minutes. The earliest Minute Book in the possession
of the Company covers the period 1731 to
Annual Dinner. 1796, and is extremely interesting as
showing the care taken in the apprenticing of novices to the trade, in
the appointment of its officers, and, perhaps most of all, in the
unbroken continuity of the annual dinner held generally at some
place outside the City, which though, at the time, partaken of only
by the members of the Court, represented the annual feast of the
mediæval Gilds, and finds its successor to-day in the Livery Dinner,
which has become almost a matter of civic importance.
This ancient practice has long been associated with Trade Gilds,
certainly as far back as 700 B.C. We may believe that the deipnon or
feast of the hetairoi, or Greek Trade Gilds, must have had a long
history before the time when such distinguished members as
Lysymachus, son of Milesias, and the son of Thucydides, joined in
them.
Favourite Inns. During the eighteenth and first part of the
nineteenth century the favourite inns
selected for the annual dinner seem to have been the “Crown and
Sceptre” at Greenwich, the “Plough,” or “Folly House,” Blackwall, the
“Star and Garter,” Richmond, and, in much later days, the “North and
South American Coffee House,” which latter, however, was probably
used more for the ordinary meetings of the Company than for the
annual dinner.
Aldgate the It is a little difficult to define the area in
Horners’ Home. which the Horners of London were
originally located, but it may be somewhat vaguely described as the
district of Aldgate. Many were the streets and alleys to which
Horners have given a name, and one well-known Horn Alley was,
until a comparatively late date, to be found on the East side of
Bishopsgate Street, and in Korneman’s book on “Old Street Signs
and Tablets” is an allusion to one with the following inscription:
—“This is Horn Alley, 1670.” In Stow’s “Survey of London,” 1633, the
following passage occurs:—“I read in the 26th of Henry VI (1447),
that in the parish of St. Dunstan’s in the East a tenement called
Horners Key was granted to William Harrington, Esq.” Doubtless this
alludes to a building used by the Horners for the purposes of their
trade, at a time when all was couleur de rose with them, and it is
extremely likely that upon further investigation this William
Harrington will be found to be the Guardianus or Alderman of the
Gild.
The warehouses of Time, however, brought its changes, and
the Gild. when, in 1603-4, the Horners’ Act was
repealed, it would seem likely that they found it either impossible to
continue to pay the rent, or, realising that disaster awaited them,
may have sold the property, if it were theirs to sell. It is, however,
certain that in 1604 the Company leased a house with storehouses
and sheds in Wentworth Street, Whitechapel, for the term of 1,000
years at a ground rent of £4. When, in 1789, these premises were
no longer required for the use of the trade, which had declined, they
were let for £30 a year, and in 1879 were sold to the Metropolitan
Board of Works and the money invested on behalf of the Horners’
Company.
Was there a It has been stated that the Horners’
Horners’ Hall? Company never had a Hall. It is difficult to
see quite why this statement has been made, for there is much to
make the student of Gild lore think otherwise. The Charter of 1638
expressly provides for one, and, as in every other respect, it simply
imposes the absolute conditions then existing, there would seem no
reason to doubt that the sum of £40 per annum therein mentioned
was the exact value of the property then held. The Bottlemakers
would not have joined the Horners had the latter Company not had
a hall or meeting place.
As with other Craft Gilds, the Fire of London probably proved very
disastrous to the Company, and, no doubt, very little was saved.
The fact that there are hardly any deeds of importance anterior to
1666, that the Old Book of the Company, which has recently been
recovered, after wandering so long, ceases to have an entry after
1636, together with the fact that the two or three early deeds which
ante-date the Fire of London are in a deplorable condition, as well as
the fact that the Company owned a considerable amount of silver
plate, which was sold in 1789, makes it not improbable that the
Horners, like every other City Gild, had its regular Hall or meeting
place.
Arms. The coat of arms of the Company is Ar. on a
Chevron sa., three bugles of the first
between three leather bottles of the second.
Destruction of Gild In 1835 the Municipal Corporations Act
monopolies. gave the coup de grâce to any remnants of
monopoly exercised by the extant City Gilds. That Act gave liberty to
all either to buy or sell, and, by so doing, compelled most of the City
Companies, nolens volens, to seek for a sphere of usefulness in
other directions.
1837. Revived Though, as a trading Gild, the Horners’
importance. Company declined, it has steadily risen in
reputation as one of the ancient mysteries of the City of London,
and, in 1837, the Commissioners on Municipal Corporations classed it
as fifty-fourth out of eighty-nine Companies there enumerated. In
1846 the Company petitioned the Court of Aldermen for a livery
which was granted them, the number of liverymen being limited to
sixty.
1882. Exhibition of In 1882 the Court of the Horners’ Company
Horn work. organized an exhibition of Hornwork, both
ancient and modern, which was held by the kindness of the then
Lord Mayor, Sir Henry Knight, at the Mansion House. By a strange
coincidence, and without any premeditation on the part either of the
Lord Mayor or the Company, it was held on October the 18th, St.
Luke’s Day, which was the day on which the annual Horn Fair at
Charlton took place. The exhibition of Horns and Hornwork far
exceeded, both as regards quantity and quality, the most sanguine
expectations of the promoters. So great was the interest shown by
the public that it became necessary to keep it open for an extra day,
and, during the four days of the exhibition, it was visited by no
fewer than 7,000 persons. Amongst the exhibitors was Her Most
Gracious Majesty the late Queen Victoria, who sent some interesting
specimens from her treasures at Windsor Castle. In
acknowledgment, of Her Majesty’s kind consideration, and by her
gracious permission, the Company presented to Her Majesty a print
of the descriptive catalogue and the account of the Company
mentioned in the preface, bound in horn leaves, ornamented with a
beautiful design from the South Kensington School of Art, selected
after competition by the scholars. It is now in the King’s private suite
of rooms at Windsor Castle.
1900. Royal Casket. In the course of the year 1900, at the
instance of Mr. A. W. Timbrell, C.C., it was
decided to present Queen Victoria with a horn casket in order to
fittingly commemorate the new century. On being approached upon
the subject, Her Majesty graciously accepted the offer. Before,
however, the presentation could be made, her lamented death
occurred. It was then decided to present the casket to King Edward,
and on March 28th, 1901, the late King’s Secretary wrote to the
Clerk of the Company expressing His Majesty’s pleasure in accepting
the proposed gift.
The casket was made of selected specimens of the finest British
bullock horn, mounted with massive silver and gilt straps, and
ornaments of the Early English style of chasing. It is supported upon
four pierced feet, the whole resting upon an ebony plinth, upon
which is a silver plate bearing the names of the Master, the Wardens,
and the Clerk. The whole enclosed in a handsome morocco case,
forms one of the finest specimens of the Horner’s art. Sir Francis
Knollys, in acknowledging the presentation, stated that he was
commanded by the King to renew the expressions of His Majesty’s
thanks to the Worshipful Company of Horners for the casket which
they had presented to him, and that His Majesty admired it greatly
and considered that it would form a great addition to the Horn Room
at Osborne.
Another Royal A similar casket, slightly different in design,
Casket. was presented to His Majesty King George
V on the occasion of his Coronation, and this, like the one presented
to his revered father, has been designed and carried out by Mr.
Deputy Millar Wilkinson, of Cornhill, the present Father of the Court.
It was constructed in the form of a cigar box, mounted with finely
worked silver-gilt applied strap work, chased with lions’ heads and
dolphins, chased end handles; on the front is a circular plaque
representing the arms of the Horners’ Company. The casket is
surmounted by a figure of St. George and the Dragon, the whole
resting upon an ebony plinth, upon which is a silver-gilt plate
bearing the names of the Master, the Wardens, and the Clerk.
Enclosed in a handsome red morocco case, it forms a beautiful and
unique specimen of the Horners’ art.
The deputation which made the presentation was headed by the
Worshipful Master, who, in the course of his address to His Majesty,
said:—
“The Horners’ Company, which is one of the most ancient of the City
Guilds, in tendering the casket, desire to assure Your Majesty of their
loyalty to Your Throne and Person, and convey their respectful
wishes for a long and prosperous reign.”
The King, in receiving the casket, remarked that it was a very
beautiful piece of workmanship, and that he would value it the more
inasmuch as it was presented to him during his Coronation year.
Further increase in In consequence of the continued prosperity
Livery. of the Horners’ Company, due to many
causes, doubtless, at a time when little life was being evinced, to the
work of Mr. James Curtis, but especially in the present activity of its
esteemed Clerk, Mr. Howard Deighton, it was found necessary in
1905 to apply again to the Court of Aldermen for an increase in the
livery to the number of 100, which was granted subject to the livery
fine being increased to £30.
