The Worshipful Company of Ironmongers is one of the livery companies of the City of London, incorporated under a Royal Charter in 1463.

History[]

Ceremonial Barge of the Ironmongers' Company

The Ironmongers, who were originally known as the Ferroners, were incorporated under a Royal Charter in 1463. The Company's original association with iron merchants, however, has lessened, especially due to the movement of the industry from Southern England to the North, where iron ore has been more readily available. The Company today is primarily a charitable institution.

The Company ranks tenth in the order of precedence of the City of London's livery companies; it is therefore one of the "Great Twelve City Livery Companies". The Company's motto is God Is Our Strength.
