History:
Tilers laid roof, floor and wall tiles, the latter becoming known as bricks in the 16th century. A Charter was granted in 1568. Nearly one half of the present Livery of about 100 is associated with building. A Trust supports charities, the Building Crafts Training Schools and makes awards for outstanding buildings.

A former Hall existed in Leadenhall Street from the 16th century and was one of the few to escape the Great Fire. Not used by the Company after 1767, when it became the synagogue of Dutch Jews, it was rebuilt in the early 19th century and the site sold in 1915.
