The Worshipful Company of Weavers is the oldest Livery Company in the City of London that was established in 1130, and may have been formed even earlier. The company received a Royal Charter in 1155 and still has ties to the textile industry today.
Today the company focuses on Weaving, charity, and fellowship continuing to fulfil its role of support for the art and skill of weaving whilst actively helping to improve society.
Both Richard Humphries and Natalie Mumford are active members of the livery and its textile committee and in 2016/17 Richard became the 888th Upper Bailiff of the Company.
