Excerpt from Journal of the Architectural, Archaeological, and Historic Society for the County and the City of Chester, and North Wales, Vol. 20 The Company was not always known by this title; in 1490 it was described as the Company of Smyths, Cutlers, Pewterers, fi'ounders, Cardmakers, Girdlers, Headmakers, Wiredrawers, Spurriers. About the middle Of the 17th century the title was changed to that Of the Smyths, Cutlers, Pewterers, Cardmakers, Plumers, Girdlers, Spurriers, Arrowhead makers, Armorers, and Bellfounders, but about 1632 the last marned craft appears to have died out, and subsequently that name is omitted from the title Of the Company.
