| Description | Petition of the Aldermen, Stewards and Company of Cappers, Pinner, Wiredrawers and Linen-drapers stating that in 1589, they received the bricklayers into their company to aid in the charges of the Whitsun plays. The plays have been discontinued for many years and the Midsummer show came up instead. They are willing to contribute to this alone and ask for the exclusion of the bricklayers from their company. Note: Read but not granted. |
