History:
The first record is dated 1292 and the first Charter was granted in 1437. The Company is intimately connected with the trade, and the Livery of about 80 is composed of directors of London brewery companies. The Company is Trustee of schools at Potters Bar and Aldenham and administers two sets of almshouses and other charities.

The Hall was in existence in Addle Street in 1418, as recorded in the then Clerk's record book, which still survives. It was burnt down in 1666 and its replacement opened in 1673. This was destroyed in 1940. Its successor, designed by Sir Hubert Worthington and opened in 1960, has a dining capacity of 70.
