Welcome to the Joiners and Ceilers Web site

The Worshipful Company of Joiners and Ceilers (Ceilers were Carvers) has a long and distinguished history dating back to before Queen Elizabeth I, who gave us our charter in 1571. Today we are a modern Livery Company that is proud of its craft, its history and its traditions. We continue to foster the trades of joinery and carving and promote excellence through our awards and bursaries. Like all Livery companies, we are committed to helping those less fortunate than ourselves through charitable fund raising and as Master for this year I am busy raising money for my charity, Botton Village, one of the Camphill communities. In addition to the building industry where our craft is still practised, we have Liverymen from the modern City craft of financial services and this mixed bag are happy to continue the Company tradition of being the "Jolly Joiners". Please feel free to peruse the site and learn something of our historic company, number 41 in the list of London Livery Companies.
