robinson jersey -

As I have many ancestors from London who were members of various Livery robinson jersey companies I have created this list to the various London Livery Companies.

The London livery companies began in London as craft guilds. At present there are 108 guilds covering most crafts and professions. The oldest guild is the *Bakers Company Guild which started in 1155 AD. 'Guild' derives from the Saxon word for payment, since membership of these fraternities was, and still is, paid for. The word 'livery' refers to uniform clothing as means of identification, hence the term of freemen being "clothed in livery" when they robinson jersey become liverymen of their Company.

England is the oldest European country ( 1500 years old ) and London itself was founded by the Romans in 53 AD.
